NHTSA Complaint #10470715 — 2011 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

WHILE DRIVING AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING, AS DID THE DPF LIGHT AND THE PRE-HEAT COIL LIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE OFF THE HIGHWAY AND INTO A DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT QUIT. WOULD NOT START AGAIN. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. WAS INFORMED THAT THE HPFP FAILED, AND THAT THE PUMP AND FUEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. SERVICE DIRECTOR INDICATED THAT THE REPAIR BILL WOULD BE $10-11,000. VW IS COVERING THE COST OF THE REPAIR. AM GRATEFUL THAT I HAD DROPPED MY WIFE AND YOUNG DAUGHTER OFF AT HOME, AND THAT I WAS NOT IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED. *TR
