Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH TOWN 35 MPH MY TDI SPORTWAGON GLOWPLUG LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT WITHIN SECONDS AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS NOT FIRING ON A CYLINDERS. I TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER THAT IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, IT HAS TO DO WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THIS MADE THINGS UNSAFE AND THEIR ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF LEAKS/ CORROSION/ OR SIGNS OF WEARING. THE MALFUNCTIONING FUEL SYSTEM CAUSED MY CAR TO FAIL AND STALL IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE FUEL SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED. AT LEAST THE PUMP SYSTEM. *TR
