Consumer Description
MY JETTA LOST POWER FROM GOING 60MPH TO 35-40 AND AFTER A MIN IT SHUT DOWN ON HIGHWAY. I MANAGED TO PUSH IT ON A SHOULDER AND TRIED TO START AGAIN BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I TOWED IT AWAY TO MECHANIC AND FOUND OUT THAT MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP SHATTERED AND RELEASED BUNCH OF TINY METAL PEACES IN TO THE FUEL FILTER AND ENGINE. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE PUMP THAT VW ADMITTED BUT HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. SO I'M WONDERING WHAT IF A SEMI TRUCK CAME AT THE SAME TIME AND HIT ME WOULD THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT THEN? *TR
