Consumer Description
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WHILE DRIVING TO DEALER FOR SERVICE THE CAR ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH ON FREEWAY. CAR HAD NO PROPULSION AND CAME TO A ROLLING STOP. UNABLE TO RESTART CAR. TOWED TO VW DEALER AND THEY SAID VW TDI FUEL PUMPS HAVE HAD ISSUES AND COULD FAIL. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS INJURED BUT COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS AS ENGINE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND FAILED COMPLETELY WHILE ON FREEWAY. I WAS VERY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE ALL THE WAY TO SIDE OF FREEWAY. STILL DO NOT HAVE CAR BACK AND VW DEALER INDICATED IT WOULD BE A LARGE REPAIR
