Consumer Description

I WAS TRYING ALONG AT 50 MPH AND THE GLOBE DIESEL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME AN. I KEPT TRYING TO DRIVE IT TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE TO GET IT TOWED. VW COULD NOT DETERMINE IF WAS FUEL CONTAMINATION OR FAULTY FUEL PUMP. I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR WHEN I GOT TO A STOP. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THE VW COMPANY WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO BLAME THE CONSUMERS THAT I PUT THE WRONG FUEL IN MY VEHICLE. VW INSTALLED THE FUEL GUARD WHICH WAS A RECALL, AND COVERED THE REST OF THE PARTS BUT NOW I AM LEFT WITH A YEAR OLD CAR THAT I HOPE HAS NO LONGER FURTHER ISSUES DUE TO VW NOT RECALLING AND FIXING AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP. *TR
