| 2010 | FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL | 2010 VW JETTA TDI'S CHECK ENGINE AND GLOW PLUG LIGHTS WENT ON. VEHICLE ERROR CODE READ P0087. VEHICLE ENTERED "LIMP MODE" AND TURBO STOPPED FUNCTIONING. TOWED VEHICLE TO VW DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS SUSPECTING IMMINENT HPFP FAILURE AT MY COST. PAID THE DEALERSHIP $100 TO DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE. DEALER DETERMINED IT WAS A SECONDARY FUEL PUMP ISSUE, REPAIRED THE PUMP, AND CLEARED THE CODE, WHICH COST ME APPROXIMATELY $760. WITHIN 2 HOURS OF PICKING UP MY VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE AND GLOW PLUG LIGHTS WENT BACK ON, VEHICLE ENTERED "LIMP MODE" AND THEN COMPLETED STALLED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RE-START. VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO VW DEALERSHIP, THIS TIME AT THEIR COST. DEALER PROVIDED ME WITH A RENTAL CAR, AT THEIR COST. ONE DAY LATER, DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS A CATASTROPHIC HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE (HPFP). DUE TO THE DISINTEGRATION OF THE HPFP, SHARDS OF METAL ENTERED THE ENGINE AND FUEL SYSTEM. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT A LARGE PORTION OF THE VEHICLE'S FUEL SYSTEM WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS A RESULT OF THIS HPFP FAILURE. WHILE THE VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER, VW CHOSE TO COVER THE REPAIR (PERHAPS IT IS DUE TO FACT THAT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN AND MADE THEM AWARE OF MY SUSPICIONS, YET THEY CHOSE TO SLOUGH OFF MY DIAGNOSIS). FROM THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURRING TO COUNTLESS OTHERS, VW IS CLEARLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AND SHOULD MOST CERTAINLY RECALL THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR |
