2013 Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagen: engine stalls while driving

Filed Feb 4, 2025 · Engine, Fuel system · IL

My Bosch CP4 fuel pump failed causing my engine to stall while turning at a very busy/fast intersection. This can occur at speed without any warning of sudden failure, putting everyone on the road at risk. Fault code P0087 and P0191 were present, along with a flashing glow plug. Following EA No.: EA11-003 I removed the fuel metering valve and observed and documented metal shavings. The failed component is still installed on my vehicle as I will be having it serviced shortly. The fact that this same component has been recalled very recently in many domestic trucks, but not in the 600,000 VW/Audi vehicles it is installed in is concerning. EA No.: EA11-003 Date Opened: 7-Feb-2011 Date Closed: 27-Mar-2015 The date this analysis was closed was months before the Dieselgate Scandal broke, leads me to question its credibility. This repair is very expensive as a whole new fuel system needs to be installed, with the same questionable pump.

While driving home, the car stalled with no warning and would not restart although starter etc were working fine. After getting it towed to the dealership, they reported that the fuel pump had failed leaving metal through out my fuel system, a problem they've seen with this make and model in the past. After contacting the manufacturer, they said it was a known issue, but not common enough to warrant a recall and would not cover the cost of repair which was over $5000, more than the current value of the car in good condition.

While driving this vehicle to work it started to decelerate on the highway, lose power, and stumble. The check engine and glow plug lights came on the dash. The car was able to be driven at a reduced highway speed for a short distance to a park and ride to be towed to a dealer. The car was stumbling occasionally when accelerating and starting to die out, but not stalling.

My wife and her mother were out shopping in san diego. They suddenly experienced engine malfunction and subsequent stall of our 2013 jetta tdi sportwagon. This resulted in our vehicle blocking a two lane busy boulevard. This street is a no stopping anytime roadway clearly marked with signs. My wife christine, pulled to the far right of the shoulder as possible. This was a frightening and dangerous experience for my wife and mother in law. The vw was totally dead and required towing to a vw dealer repair facility. The service rep at vw diagnosed the issue immediately when the details of the malfunction were explained. Apparently, this issue has been known and thoroughly investigated. I am shocked to find out the problem is extensive with the tdi engines from volkswagen. How could I have not been notified of this potential dangerous situation?
