What owners say
Transfer pump was replaced once during warranty, all others after its expiration. The symptom is that the engine stalls at all speeds. If this happens when the car is in neutral, all power assisted components stop working.
Fuel pump has failed and has had to be replaced 5 times. I have back-up paperwork, invoices, etc. Symptoms are car stalling, sometimes on freeway. I feel the car is unsafe to drive. Dealership says talk to vw; vw says talk to dealership. I'm stuck.
Automobile stalls out because the fuel pump goes bad and has to be replaced. Consumer states has had this done five times. Both dealer and manufacturer have been contacted, neither wants to assume responsibility for the vehicle's defects. *ak
