Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Vehicle consistently misfires after fueling. Sometimes the pump shuts off early before filling the tank adding 5-9 gallons when I should expect 12. VW claims it is bad fuel but to get bat fuel at multiple gas stations over the course of a year is unlikely. I believe it is related to the suction jet pump that VW was forced to recall on various models but dealerships will not inspect this part. It has been in for diagnosis 7 times since the first cel was triggered in May of 2025.”

NHTSA complaint #11756625, filed 2026-08
