I AM A U.S SERVICE MEMBER STATIONED OVERSEAS. I WILL BE SERVING OVERSEAS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2021. WHILE DRIVING ON THE AUTOBAHN WITH MY FAMILY, I GOT ON THE LEFT LANE TO PASS A VEHICLE NEXT TO ME. WHEN I HIT ON THE ACCELERATOR, OUT OF THE BLUE, MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND THE EPC CODE ON MY DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING. THE VEHICLE STARTED CHOKING AND SLOWED DOWN INSTEAD. IN CONFUSION AND THE LOUD HONKING FROM THE VEHICLES BEHIND AND NEXT TO ME, I TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND SWITCHED TO THE FAR RIGHT LANE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP IN GERMANY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND TAKATA AIRBAG BUT IT COULD ONLY BE DONE IN THE STATES. I CONTACTED OMSC AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND I WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT VW AMERICA. WHEN I CONTACTED VW AMERICA AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY SITUATION, I WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 2021 WHEN I RETURN TO THE U.S. I AM WORRIED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

AFTER A RECALL ON AIRBAG WAS DONE, TWO WEEKS LATER I TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE A AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD ITS CONTROL MODULE FOR PODS ALL, WHICH COSTS $2,357.68. THIS MODULE CONTROLS THE AIRBAGS WHETHER OR NOT THEY GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. WELL MINE WENT OUT WITHOUT EVER BEING IN AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR ONLY HAS 76K MILES AND VW TOLD ME IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT PART IS ONLY COVERED UNTIL 36K MILES. THIS SUPER EXPENSIVE SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE LOOKED AT NOT BE PUT UPON A CUSTOMER.

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT 180K BY VW DEALERSHIP; A PREMIUM SERVICE WAS SELECTED; ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS TAKING IT IN; THE VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY DID TURN OFF WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ON ITS OWN WHICH THEN NEEDED TO BE RESTARTED. THE CAR JERKED AS IF MY SPARK PLUGS WERE HAVING ISSUES. HAVE HAD TO CHANGE SPARK PLUGS FREQUENTLY COMPARED TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIR/CAM SENSOR (AS A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE DEALERSHIP) THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING SLUGGISH BUT NORMAL PRIOR TO IT GETTING SERVICED. THE CAR WAS READY FOR PICK UP AND ENGINE LIGHT WAS CLEARED. CAR WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 35MI FROM DEALERSHIP TO PLACE OF RESIDENCE. CAR PERFORMED NORMAL. NEXT DAY WENT TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT DID START LONG ENOUGH THAT I COULD USE MY OWN CODE READER THE VEHICLE HAD 15 ERRORS ACCORDING TO THE READER. I LET THE CAR SIT FOR A MONTH BEFORE I COULD TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS SERVICED. VW IS NOW SAYING THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. CAMSHAFT IS WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT . ANOTHER POSSIBILITY VW EXPLAINS IS MASSIVE ENGINE FAILURE.

AROUND 8/8/18 I POPPED MY HOOD TO GIVE A GUY A JUMPSTART & SMELLED GAS. THOUGHT THAT WAS AS ODD SO WITH THE HOOD OPENED I STARTED THE CAR. WHEN I RETURNED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD I NOTICED A STREAM OF GASOLINE COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (BOSCH MFG: 06H127025N SKU: 3649). THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE RETAINING CLIP ON THESE FUEL PUMPS AT THE TOP OF THE CONNECTOR ARE KNOWN TO BE WEAK AND GIVE OUT CAUSING LARGE FUEL LEAKS. I'VE NOTICED WHILE RESEARCHING REPLACEMENT PARTS THAT SOME MANUFACTURERS USE BOLTS RATHER THAN A THIN RETAINER CLIP THAT GIVES OUT. AFTER FINDING THIS LEAK I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE GAS CONTINUES TO SPEW OUT EVEN AFTER THE CAR IS OFF, AND AT TIMES STOPS THEN STARTS AGAIN. WHICH COULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL FOR THE CONTROL MODULE THAT PLUGS INTO THIS PUMP & STATES IT COULD CONTINUOUSLY RUN, WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH BUT THEN ADD IN THAT THE PUMP THAT IS ALWAYS RUNNING IS KNOWN TO LEAK FUEL, VERY DANGEROUS.

FUEL PUMP MODULE AND TAKATA INFLATORS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK MY CAR ENDED UP LOSING POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER SHUT OFF ALL OF MY LIGHTS INSIDE AND OUT. AS SOON AS THIS HAPPENS I BEGIN TO PRESS ON MY BRAKES ONLY TO NOTICE THAT MY BRAKES FELT LIKE THEY WERE LACKING PRESSURE. THE LACK OF PRESSURE ON THE ROTARS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SLOW DOWN AND WITH THERE BEING NO POWER ALSO MADE IT DIFFICULT TO TURN THE WHEEL. I MERGED OVER TOWARD THE SHOULDER AND ENDING UP HITTING SOME TYPE OF WATER RUN OFF DIP THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO BOUNCE UP AND BLOW OUT MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE BLOWOUT WAS WHAT HELPED ME SLOW MY CAR DOWN AND BRING IT TO A STOP. THAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE BODY OF MY CAR. AFTER STOPPING I TRIED CHECKING IF THE CAR WOULD TURN ON AND IT HAD NO RESPONSE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED AWAY. THAT WAS IN 2016 AND TO THIS DAY THE CAR HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET FIXED.

MY CAR WAS ON A LARGE BLVD WITH OTHER CARS IN MOTION WHEN ALL OF A SUDEN WITH OUT NOTICE JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IT HAPPENED MANY TIMES BEFORE. I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND NO RESULTS I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE I FEEL LIKE MY CAR IS A DEATH TRAP AND ONE DAY A BIG TRAGEDY CAN OCCUR DEW TO THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP FAILS TO PROVIDE THE RIGHT SERVICE. IT'S AN ONGOING SITUATION FOR MANY YEARS WITH NO RESULTS. I RECEIVED A RECALL ON JUNE 2018 FOR A FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE, DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME THAT WAS THE REASON WHY THE VEHICLE WAS SHUTTING OFF IN MOTION THEY INSTALLED THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE ON JULY 2018 AND PROBLEM STILL OCCURRING.

FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE REPLACED AND RELOCATED ON JULY 18TH, 2018. HOWEVER, ON AUGUST 3RD, 2018, WHILE DRIVING ALONE IN THE #4 LANE OF THE FREEWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED. NO WARNING. NO CHUGGING. THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ENOUGH TRAFFIC FOR THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME TO SLOW DOWN TO AVOID ME. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON WHILE DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO TURN BACK ON. THANKFULLY IT DID WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO GIVING ME JUST ENOUGH TIME TO CUT ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO INFORM THEM OF WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY WERE PERPLEXED AND TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP IF THE ENGINE LIGHT WASN'T FLASHING, WHICH AT THE TIME IT WASN'T. THAT DEALERSHIP TURNED ME AWAY AND TOLD ME I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 MORE MILES BEFORE MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND WOULD NOT START. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY REGULAR DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY BELIEVE IT MAY BE THE FUEL PUMP. SINCE I HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED PRIOR, I AM VERY FEARFUL THAT I WON'T BE SO LUCKY NEXT TIME. HAD TRAFFIC BEEN GOING AT THE REGULAR SPEED, I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. I NEED TO BE REASSURED THAT THESE RECALLS ARE DONE RIGHT AND TESTED TO ENSURE THERE AREN'T FAULTY PARTS AND THAT SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT.
