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.

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.

The car broke down just after a dash light came on; literally just stopped running. The car would crank but would not turnover. Thank goodness I was able to get off the road and out of harms way. The vehicle was towed to the local vw dealership and they diagnosed. The gentleman I spoke with stated they did not even run the diagnostic because they check the high pressure fuel pump first. When they checked it, they found "metal shavings" and quoted a complete rebuild of the system because "they do not know how far the metal shavings" traveled. The car is out of the manufacture warranty but the mechanic stated he usually sees extended warranties on this type of issue. Not only does this car fall under the emissions lawsuit, now this.

2014 jetta tsi: opening & closing doors, glove box, and trunk causes the fuel pump to engage, you can even hear it. This causes fumes to accumulate in my garage to a high level. The fuel pump recall has been done per dealership. Imo the fuel pump shouldn't engage until the key is turned in the ignition. It is not a fuel leak, in the presence of an ignition source. It is a fuel leak, in the presence of opening & closing doors, glove box, and trunk. I have discussed with vw and their opinion is that "that is the way it works". The vehicle was parked in my single car garage and not running. This continues to happen on a regular bases.

My jetta has been leaking transmission fluid. I was searching to see what gear oil is needed for my car as I would like to fill it back up to the appropriate level and a recall showed up about an o-ring between the transmission and the oil cooler. My car was not listed in this recall, however my car is still leaking transmission fluid at this time. On another subject my fuel pump seems to run for awhile after I shut the car off. I took it to a vw dealership and they stated it was fine. Still a bit of a worry as sometimes it runs for up to 3 minutes after.
