FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PROCEEDED TO MAKE MY TURN AND AFTER EXITING THE INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND EVENTUALLY STALLED. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY AND TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED AAA AND MY LOCAL VW DEALER AND HAD THE CAR TOWED THERE FOR REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE DIESEL FUEL PUMP FAILED AND THAT IT WOULD BE REPLACED AS A "GOODWILL" BY VW SINCE MY CAR WAS JUST OUT OF THE 5 YEAR 60K WARRANTY. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WAS REPLACED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FUEL TANK ITSELF WHICH WAS CLEANED. EVERYTHING WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY VW WITH NO CHARGE TO ME, AND A LOANER CAR WAS PROVIDED. *TR

2010 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IN JULY 2013, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER, FOR A DIAGNOSES, THEY INFORMED HER, THE FUEL SYSTEM HAD COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED AND SENT METAL SHARDS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, THE AC WASN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT WAS TAKING 10-15 MINUTES TO GET COLD. IT WAS DETERMINED THE AIR COMPRESSOR WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE RECEIVER AND EXPANSION VALVE. *JB

SEAT BELTS, SEATS
I DRIVE A 2010 VW GOLF TDI. IT HAS BEEN USED AS A WORK VEHICLE JUST TO DRIVE BACK AND FORTH FOR ALL OF ITS LIFE EXCEPT RECENTLY AND KEPT EXTREMELY CLEAN ON THE INSIDE. THE REAR SEAT BELTS HAVE ONLY BEEN USED FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS WHEN MY DAUGHTER MOVED INTO A TODDLER SEAT. THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT BELT IS DEFECTIVE AND WILL NOT WIND BACK UP NOW BEING UNUSABLE. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
HAD JUST REFUELED VEHICLE A DAY PRIOR WHEN ON LUNCH BREAK VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. UPON ENTERING A HEAVILY CONGESTED INTERSECTION THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED CAUSING STEERING, BRAKING AND CONTROL TO BE COMPROMISED. STARTED VEHICLE TO MOVE OUT OF HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DROVE DIRECTLY TO AN AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP. UPON INSPECTION THE REPAIR FACILITY DISCOVERED METAL PARTICLES THROUGHOUT FUEL SYSTEM CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS LISTED ABOVE INCLUDING STALLING AND LOSS OF CONTROL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
THERE WERE THREE SEPARATE STALLING INCIDENTS WITHIN 1 YEAR (9/2012-6/2013). AFTER EACH INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. THE VEHICLE WAS WITHIN THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY DURING THIS TIME, AND NO PROBLEMS WERE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY THE TECHNICIANS. FINALLY, ON 1/7/2014, THERE WAS A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FIRST SYMPTON WAS A FAULTY WARNING LIGHT STATING, INCORRECTLY, THAT A BULB WAS DEAD. REPLACED HEADLIGHTS UNDER ADVICE FROM DEALER THAT THE ERROR WAS DUE TO FAULTY VOLTAGE FROM A DYING BULB. CONDITION WORSENED. INFORMATION CENTER BEGAN STATING THAT ALL BULBS WERE OUT EACH TIME YOU STARTED THE CAR AND THEN FINALLY, LIGHTS BEGAN TO FAIL. THE CAR LOST ALL EXTERIOR PASSENGER SIDE LIGHTS AND HAD ONLY INTERMITTENT USE OF REAR DRIVER SIDE LIGHTING. DEALER THEN DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS A MELTED FUSE BOX BUT COULD NOT GIVE REASON FOR MELTING. NO MODIFICATIONS HAVE EVER BEEN MADE TO THE CAR. A QUICK INTERENET SEARCH REVEALED MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS MANY VOLKSWAGEN MODELS AND THAT THE DEALER'S FIX OF JUST REPLACING THE FUSEBOX MAY NOT ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM WHICH MAY BE DUE TO A WIRE TO THE FUSE BOX. OVER $700 SPENT TO DATE ON REPAIRS WITH NO UNDERSTANDING OF WHY VW FUSE BOXES ARE MELTING AND WONDERING HOW LONG TILL MY NEW BOX MELTS TOO. *TR

POWER TRAIN
THE GOLF IS THE TDI DIESEL VERSION. IS EQUIPPED WITH A DSG STYLE AUTO TRANSMISSION. THE SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS BECAME VERY ROUGH AND AND VEHICLE SPEED SURGED UP AND DOWN WHILE IN GEAR. CLUNKING NOISES FROM ENGINE/TRANNY COMPARTMENT. SPEED HARD TO MAINTAIN. HAS BEEN IN VW DEALER SHOP TWICE NOW FOR ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. FIRST REPAIRS ENTAILED REPLACEMENT OF "MECHATRONIC" UNIT. WAS REASONABLY SUCCESSFUL FOR ABOUT 500 MILES AND THEN FAILED IN SAME FASHION AGAIN. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
I HAVE A 2010 VW GOLF TDI. I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT 25 MPH WHEN MY GLOW PLUG & CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING, AND MY TACHOMETER DROPPED TO ZERO, INDICATING A STALL. THE POWER STEERING ALSO STARTED TO CUT OUT, BUT I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER. TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND GOT NOTHING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A VW DEALERSHIP DOWN THE STREET, AND ON MONDAY 11/19 THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY HIGH-PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED AND SENT METAL FRAGMENTS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I WAS TOLD THAT THE BILL WOULD BE AT LEAST $5,000 FOR THIS KIND OF FIX. OH YEAH, THIS ALSO COMPLETELY RUINED MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR THANKSGIVING, AS VW REFUSED TO GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHILE THIS DOCUMENTED WARRANTY ISSUE WAS BEING DEALT WITH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL CASES OF 2009-10 TDI FUEL PUMP FAILURES WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS. APPARENTLY, THERE HAVE BEEN THREE REVISIONS OF THIS PUMP SINCE THEN, AND I AM DUE TO GET THE NEWEST ONE. BUT, THERE IS ALSO TALK THAT ULTRA-LOW-SULFUR DIESEL FUEL IN THE US IS NOT PROVIDING THE PROPER LUBRICITY, AND THUS CAUSING THE PUMPS TO FAIL (THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE IN EUROPE). NONETHELESS, FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY THE NHTSA SHOULD RESULT IN VW DOING A PROPER RECALL AND REDESIGN, RATHER THAN QUIETLY FIXING AN INHERENT FLAW ON A CASE-BY-CASE BASIS. EVEN WITH MY CAR FIXED, I'LL STILL BE WONDERING WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. WHICH ALSO MAKES ME WONDER IF I SHOULD JUST SELL IT AND BE DONE WITH VW. VERY FRUSTRATING. *TR

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO MALFUNCTION OF TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE, THERE HAVE BEEN FIVE FALSE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT INDICATIONS FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND NO INDICATION OF LOW PRESSURE IN ANY TIRE. THEY RESET THE TPMS VIA A PROGRAM SOFTWARE UPDATE. *JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON A FEW SECONDS AFTER I HAD MERGED A FEW LANES OVER ON THE FREEWAY (101S @HOLLY DURING RUSH HOUR). GLOW PLUG LIGHT FLASHED ONCE OR TWICE. WITHIN 60 SECONDS, THE CAR HAD DIED WHILE TRAFFIC WAS SPEEDING UP ON BOTH SIDES OF ME. PUT ON EMERGENCY FLASHERS. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN, NOR DID I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (I HAD 2 LANES ON MY RIGHT, 2 ON MY LEFT). AFTER TRYING TO START IT FOR A MINUTE OR SO, CALLED 911. AFTER 10 - 15 MINUTES, CHP CAME AND STOPPED ALL TRAFFIC, PUSHED ME TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH HIS CAR. CAR STILL WOULD NOT START. TOW TRUCK CAME A WHILE LATER, TOWED ME TO VW DEALER (BOARDWALK) WHICH WAS NEARBY. DEALER: BOARDWALK VOLKSWAGEN, REDWOOD CITY, CA STATUS: FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. PROVIDED ME RENTAL CAR. TOOK 1 WEEK. ALL IN ALL, GAVE ME GOOD SERVICE. THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. HERE IS WHAT THEY DID UNDER WARRANTY (PER THE RECEIPT): * REPLACED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP * REPLACED AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP * REPLACED FUEL FILTER HOUSING AND FILTER * REPLACED ALL INJECTOR LINES * REPLACED 4 INJECTORS * REPLACED FUEL RAIL * REMOVED AND REINSTALLED FUEL PUMP INSIDE GAS TANK * DRAIN AND REFILL DIESEL * ROAD TESTED RECHECK OK * VENDOR CODE (BOSCH) AND (CBF) NOT A VERY OPPORTUNE TIME FOR A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, WHILE CRUISING ON THE BUSY RUSH-HOUR HIGHWAY, AND IT HAPPENED VERY FAST. NEVERTHELESS, NO ONE WAS INJURED, AND THE CAR IS NOW BACK ON THE ROAD. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THESE CARS OF THIS VINTAGE, AND I WILL ENCOURAGE THEM TO CONTACT VW TO TRY AND REPLACE THE PUMP BEFORE IT FAILS. ON THE TRICLUB FORUM, THERE ARE EXAMPLES OF THIS SAME THING HAPPENING 100S OF TIMES TO THESE CARS. HERE IS MY ENTRY: HTTP://FORUMS.TDICLUB.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?P=3978779 SOMEONE ON THE FORUM ENCOURAGED ME TO FILE AN INCIDENT WITH NHTSA, SO I AM DOING THAT HERE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND A HIGH SPEED, ENGINE LIGHT AND IGNITION COIL LIGHT APPEARED WHEN I REACHED THE END OF THE ON-RAMP. LOST ALL PROPULSION 30 SECONDS LATER; THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER, BUT BARELY MADE IT SINCE I HAD TO MOVE SEVERAL LANES OVER AND AVOID TRAFFIC GOING AROUND ME. IF I WAS MOVING SLOWER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON ONE OF THE LANES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER CASES OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE FOR THE TURBO DIESEL ENGINE, MY VEHICLE IS JUST ANOTHER ONE. *TR

ENGINE
I HAVE A 2010 GOLF TDI MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. THE CAR WAS STALLED DURING DRIVING, AFTER JUST DOWN SHIFTED FROM 2ND GEAR TO FIRST GEAR. AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE COMPLETELY, I STILL COULDN'T RESTART THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. I HAD TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND TRIED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED ON THE NEXT ATTEMPT. I EXPERIENCE THE SIMILAR TYPE OF STALLING SOON AFTER I PURCHASE THE VEHICLE, AND IT PERSISTS AND RECURS QUITE OFTEN. OTHER TIMES, ALSO DURING DRIVING, MOSTLY NOTICEABLE IN 4TH GEAR SPEED, THE CAR COULD ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER, FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE WAS NOT STALLED OR STOPPED. I ALSO NOTICED AFTER A DIFFICULT START, THE DRIVING IS LESS SMOOTH. AND WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, THE ENGINE/FAN WOULD KEEP ON RUNNING IDLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. AND DURING THAT IDLE TIME, A LARGE AMOUNT OF HEAT IS DISPENSED OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT HOOD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL, ENGINE
I GOT INTO MY CAR AS NORMAL, AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY STREET. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I WAS TOLD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED, AND THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED... AFTER I GOT HOME, I QUICKLY GOOGLE SEARCHED THE ISSUE AND APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON A BAD DESIGN BY VOLKSWAGEN AND BOSCH... *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN FUEL FILTER HOUSING WHICH WILL LEAD TO THE EVENTUAL FAILURE OF THE HPFP AND COULD BECOME A POTENTIAL HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO FAILURE YET BUT I JUST WANTED THIS TO BE RECORDED AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FAILURES OF THIS SORT WHICH COULD LEAD TO MORE SEVERE ACCIDENTS. *TT

**************NOTE: THIS IS A DIESEL ISSUE.******************** DIESEL HIGH PRESSURE PUMP FAILED (HPFS) AT 39,793 MILES. THE CAR STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. DEALER FOUND METAL SHAVINGS INSIDE FUEL FILTER. ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. REPLACED THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFS), 4 FUEL INJECTORS, AUX FUEL PUMP, TANK PUMP, ALL RUBBER/PLASTIC LINES IN FUEL SYSTEM, ALL METAL LINES IN FUEL SYSTEM AND FUEL TANK. DESPITE BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, VW PAID FOR THE REPAIR (OVER $6000 DOLLARS IN PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR.) WAS TOLD THAT, IF THE PROBLEM RECURS THE CAR IS COVERED FOR 12 MONTHS / 12000 MILES. AFTER THAT, I AM ON MY OWN. *TR **************NOTE: THIS IS A DIESEL ISSUE.********************

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF TDI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TEST DRIVEN, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 40K SERVICE ON MY 2010 VW GOLF TDI WITH 39,300 MILES, THE DIESEL GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STARTED RUNNING ROUGHLY. APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS LATER, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND FRAGMENTS OF METAL IN THE FUEL SYSTEM AND REPLACED THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM (APPROXIMATELY $5000 IN PARTS NOT INCLUDING LABOR). VW AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR BUT THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THEY WILL PAY FOR THIS REPAIR IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. ALSO, VW WAS UNABLE TO TELL ME IF THE REPLACEMENT HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP IS THE SAME DESIGN AS THE ORIGINAL ONE THAT FAILED. I AM CONCERNED THE FUEL PUMP COULD FAIL AGAIN AND THIS TIME CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IT THE CAR WERE TO STALL ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT, SHOULD THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAIL AGAIN, IT COULD COST BETWEEN $8000 AND $10,000 TO REPAIR. IT APPEARS THAT VW IS REPAIRING CARS, WITH A FIX THAT OFFES NO ASSURANCE THAT THE PROBLEM WONT RECUR AND, THE NHTSA MAY GETTING AN ACCURATE REPORT ON THE ACTUAL NUMBER OF HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
UPON MAKING A LANE CHANGE TO MERGE INTO A FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC LANE, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED NORMALLY FOR ONE SECOND THEN LOST ALL ENGINE POWER LEAVING ME IN A DANGEROUS POSITION. UPON DEPRESSING THE CLUTCH, THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AFTER WHICH IT WORKED NORMALLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES SINCE. IT USUALLY CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION SUCH AS LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT POWER IN AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE DURING A LEFT TURN OR MOVING TOO SLOWLY IN A MERGING MANEUVER. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON AND THE GLOW PLUG WARNING LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. CLOUDS OF WHITE SMOKE ALWAYS APPEAR AT THE TAIL PIPE DURING THE POWER LOSS. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED A SENSOR 4 TIMES WHICH MAKES THE WARNING LIGHTS GO OUT, BUT THE ENGINE CUTTING OUT PROBLEM IS NEVER ADDRESSED. VW SIMPLY STATE "CANNOT REPRODUCE PROBLEM" AND RETURN THE VEHICLE. THE BEHAVIOR IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR
