NHTSA Complaint #10759609 — 2009 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

STOPPED AND LEFT THE LINE AT A GREEN LIGHT WHEN OUR 2009 JETTA TDI SPUTTERED AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND GIVEN AN INVOICE FOR $5500 FOR THE HIGH PRESSURE PUMP, WHICH IS IDENTIFIED A KNOWN ISSUE BY VW UNDER A SELF-IMPOSED EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT NEVER UNDER A RECALL. AS I WAS TOLD BY VW CUSTOMER SERVICE, SINCE THERE WAS NEVER A CATASTROPHIC ISSUE TO OUR VEHICLE PRIOR TO 120K MILES, INSTEAD AT 124K MILES, THE SAFETY ITEMS WERE NOT IDENTIFIED AND CORRECTED.
