The dealer was contacted but no assistance was not provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the VIN was not included in the recall.

This letter is not that I've had a component failure, but that I am concerned about the published failure rate of my Bosch CP4, high pressure fuel pump. I've read multiple horror stories of people who had catastrophic fuel pump failure on their diesel car or truck. I just came to my attention that on June 15, 2022, the federal safety agency and Chrysler have issued a recall for the CP4 fuel pumps that were installed on Jeep Grand Cherokees 2014-2020, and Ram 1500s 2014-2019, all of them had the 3.0L diesel engines. It is my assertion that if the federal safety agency has issued a recall because of those afore mentioned fuel pumps, that your office should do the same for the VW cars that have the Bosch CP4 diesel fuel pump as well. In your letter dated June 15, 2022, address to Karen Blaesser at Chrysler(campaign number 22V‑406), it states the the fuel pump can fail introducing internal debris into the fuel system, potentially resulting in fuel stavation. It goes on to say that the consequence of that fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. I would like to ask the federal safety agency to make the same ruling on the VW vehicles that have the CP4 fuel pumps. I have heard that pump failure will result in thousands of dollars in repair costs to get the car back on the road. Another important fact that should be interjected is the fact that VW or the Volkswagen Audi Group should have known that the pumps would prematurely fail because of the Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel that we have in the USA. Over in the EU, they use a different formulation of diesel fuel, one that offers better lubricity for the fuel pumps. In 2006, the Federal Government mandated the use of that ULSD fuel. Another important fact to consider is that VW replaced their reliable CP3 fuel pumps for the newer CP4. That change was a cost saving measure that has cost many consumers a lot of money.
My car has progressed from an intermittent crank/no start issue to outright failure while driving. There have been several incidents where I am driving at ~40 mph and my car completely dies in the middle of intersections/fast moving traffic putting me in grave danger. I have visited the dealership 4 times now with multiple parts replaced but the issue persists, and I feel unsafe driving the vehicle but I have no other option. I have not been given a loaner vehicle at any time from the dealership despite requesting one. There has been no check engine light present at any time. I have had the car since it was brand new and it has been serviced precisely at each service interval only at VW dealerships.
While driving on busy city road car just stopped/died in middle of traffic. It also has major issues not restarting after I turn it off.
Transmission oil cooler leaking transmission oil. Took to volkswagen dealership and they attempted repair and I left in the dealership and was driving and the car start smoking and leaking oil all over the road.
Got this car for my 16 year old son. It keeps stalling while he is driving and also while idling. Been to shop 2 times. Have replaced fuel pump and crankshaft and it still doesn't work right and I'm out $1200 in repairs! Service cannot figure out what is going on. They have had the car a week....then 2 weeks...and it still is stalling. This is a life threatening situation. I hate this car and feel absolutely ripped off buying it used. If something happens to my child because of this stalling issue, vw is going to be held responsible. I have seen years and years of complaint about this issue online and no one has ever gotten a resolution. This is unacceptable.
My car's transmission oil cooler is leaking transmission oil all over my car/under my car. My mechanic diagnosed the issue. I took it to vw dealership for another diagnostic only for them to not fix the car after 700.00 and I was told the car was fixed until I drove it 10 min down the road and the car was smoking and leaking oil everywhere. The car almost caught on fire due to the leak.
When the vehicle downshifts to lower gears the engine stutters and eventually stalls out
Epc warning light came on suddenly; vehicle throttled down and continued to buck and stall out; loss of power and speed. Very dangerous while in traffic. No specific diagnostic code(s) were saved or triggered. This causes costly and unneeded diagnostics and repairs
