Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY VW JETTA TDI ON A LOCAL SURFACE STREET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR DIED WITH NO WARNING AND INITIALLY WOULD NOT RESTART. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND RESUME AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE MORE AND IS DISCONCERTING. I ALWAYS PURCHASE FUEL FROM NAME-BRAND AND HIGH-VOLUME GAS STATIONS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : EA11003. *TR
