2011 Volkswagen Golf Fuel system Problems

“My high pressure fuel pump (hpfp) failed while driving on the highway. I was able safely get off the highway, but barely and was left stranded in an intersection. I had to push the car out of the intersection. I read online that many Volkswagen tdi owners experience the same thing. Please force vw to address this issue. I did not pump gasoline into my tank. That is ludicrous.”

“As an addendum to my previous email complaint #. The mileage of the vehicle is 62000 not 101000 (km) also I was driving at 110km which I believe is 68 miles per hour. I was confused giving you 65 miles but total vehicle mileage in km. I hope this is clear and many thanks.”

“While exiting the off ramp of the highway at 1100 at night the car died and I was lucky enough to make it to the side of the road as traffic behind me was locking up their brakes and swerving to avoid a collision. After an expensive tow and finally getting the vehicle to the dealer I was told the high pressure fuel pump had exploded in the tank sending metal into the whole fuel system. I am told the repair bill will cost around $6500 to fix. …”

“I was driving my vehicle at approximately 35mph, after just having left a store. All of a sudden the engine started making a clunky sound and the hud displayed service engine . I pulled to the side of the road and shut off the engine. I tried to refire the engine thinking perhaps there was a hiccup in the fuel lines. The vehicle restarted with the same clunky sound, and abruptly stalled within 5 seconds.”

“While driving at approx 75 MPH in the fast lane of an interstate freeway my 2011 vw GOLF tdi shut off. Without warning, the glow plug lamp began flashing and check engine note came on the dash. At the same time the car lost all power and began running very rough. While negotiating traffic in an attempt to pull over (quite dangerous without power and tractor trailers now passing my slowing car) the car shut off taking the power brakes and power steering with it. …”
