NHTSA Complaint #10536424 — 2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

2010 VW TDI JETTA : I OWN A 2010 VW TDI JETTA I SMELLED DIESEL FUEL COMING INTO MY CAR (THE CAR AT THE TIME HAD 117,000 MILES). ALSO, I NOTICED DIESEL FUEL DRIPPING ON MY DRIVEWAY ALSO ON THE BACK OF MY CAR . THE CAR HAD FUEL RUNNING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT TWO FUEL INJECTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FACT OF THE INJECTORS SPRAYING FUEL ON TO ALL ENGINE AREA AT A COST OF $1300. THEY REPLACED TWO OF THE INJECTORS. THE SMELL CONTINUED UNTIL I INSTRUCTED THEM TO ORDER A NEW HOOD INSULATOR COVER AND ENGINE COVER (BOTH WERE SATURATED WITH DIESEL. MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALER FOR CLOSE TO TWO WEEKS BETWEEN ALL FOUR VISITS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE OTHER INJECTORS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND THIS WILL OCCUR AGAIN ALONG WITH A FIRE AT SOME POINT. *TR
