Consumer Description

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON 12/15/13 AND AS I ACCELERATED, I LOST POWER AND "CHECK ENGINE LIGHT" CAME ON. CAR FELL TO 50MPH AND I EXITED HIGHWAY IMMEDIATELY, STOPPED THE CAR, RE-STARTED AND THE CAR AND LIGHT WAS STILL ON. SHOWED ERROR CODE G450 AND THE "EXHAUST PRESSURE SENSOR 1" WAS REPLACED BY DEALER IN JANUARY 2014. GLOW PLUG LIGHT ALSO CAME ON INTERMITTENTLY AT THAT TIME. TWO MONTHS LATER (FEBRUARY, 2014), "GLOW PLUG LIGHT" CAME ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY. TURNED OFF CAR AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND LIGHT WENT OUT. DEALER SAYS P0237 CODE MEANS INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF "BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR" AND "SENSOR HARNESS". VW ADVISES THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE DUE TO UNPREDICTABLE PERFORMANCE OF TURBOCHARGER ON ENGINE PERFORMANCE DUE TO FAILURE OF THIS SENSOR. THE LOSS OF POWER HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED WIDELY FOR THIS ENGINE (PUMP, CARBONIZED INTAKE, OTHER?), BUT VW HAS ACCEPTED NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. CAR IS 4 YEARS OLD WITH 48,900 MILES. REPAIRS ARE APPROACHING $1000 AT THIS TIME. *TR
