Consumer Description

SUDDEN DECELERATION OR LOSS OF POWER MAINLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT OCCASIONALLY IN TOWN. THIS LASTED FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THE CAR REGAINED POWER. THERE WERE SCARY SITUATIONS ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS BUT NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCURRED. THIS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY OVER SEVERAL MONTHS BUT THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO EITHER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR IDENTIFY ANY COMPONENTS THAT WERE FAULTY. AFTER MUCH PERSISTENCE AND FRUSTRATION ON MY PART, THE DEALER EVENTUALLY IDENTIFIED A FAULTY 'TANDEM FUEL PUMP' AND A FAULTY COMPONENT OF THE TRANSMISSION (MECHATRON). BOTH COMPONENTS WERE PLACED ON FEBRUARY 17, 2010 AND I HAVE HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THAT TIME. JETTA TDI. *TR
