Consumer Description

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND LOST POWER WHILE ON EXIT RAMP. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST VW DEALER. INFORMED BY DEALER THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAD DISINTEGRATED AND SENT METAL THROUGHOUT FUEL SYSTEM AND THAT PARTS AND LABOR FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $6000-$8000. CALL TO VW FOR ASSISTANCE WAS REWARDED WITH THEIR OFFERING TO PAY FOR THE NEEDED REPAIRS. THERE WAS A LONG RECORDED HISTORY OF DEALER SERVICING AND PROOF OF ONLY DIESEL FUEL PURCHASES. NHTSA SHOULD INSURE THAT ALL TDI OWNERS BE NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBABILITY AND GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENTS DONE BY VW. *TR
