NHTSA Complaint #10400490 — 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

I PURCHASED MY 2010 JETTA TDI NEW AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER 2009. IT IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I'M A PRETTY CONSERVATIVE DRIVER AND ATTEMPT TO MAXIMIZE MY MPG. EACH DAY AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SETTING OVERNIGHT AND IS COLD, I START UP AND DRIVE TO THE STORE, A 4 MILE DRIVE, THE ENGINE WILL PAUSE USUALLY WITHIN THAT 4 MILE DRIVE. SOMETIMES IT IS A SHORT JERK AND SOMETIMES IT IS A GREATER JERK. OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN ON THE RETURN TRIP HOME. BUT IT'LL HAPPEN ONLY ONCE UNTIL IT SETS AND COOLS OFF. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP TWICE WITH NO HELP. MY RESEARCH FINDS SOME PROBLEMS WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY BE THE ISSUE, BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO TALK TO VW AMERICA TO SEE IF THEY WILL CONFIRM OR DENY THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE. IT HAS 6,500 MILES ON IT AND I'M HOPING TO GET IT FIXED BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRES. NOT SURE WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE MILEAGE GETS HIGHER.
