CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND GLOW PLUG LIGHT FLASHES. THERE IS A FLUTTER IN ENGINE RPM. ALSO THERE ARE METAL SHAVINGS IN FUEL FILTER. THE DEALER "DEAN MCCRARY VW" SAID CAR NEEDED EXHAUST TEMP SENOR AND IT DID FIX LIGHTS THAT WERE COMING ON. AS FAR AS METAL IN THE FUEL THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY JUST TO KEEP DRIVING IT UNTIL THERE WAS A PROBLEM???. I HAVE A JAR OF THE FUEL THAT CAME OUT OF THE FUEL FILTER! OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS SOME SORT OF ISSUE METAL SHAVINGS IN FUEL FILTER CANNOT BE NORMAL. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS NOT GOING TO BE METAL IN FUEL FILTER AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I HAVE CLEANED IT BEFORE BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP. BUT I TOLD THEM IT WAS FULL OF METAL AND I HAD A SAMPLE OF FUEL THEY COULD LOOK AT. THEY JUST SAID KEEP DRIVING IT AND WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS? I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I SHOULDN'T GO AHEAD AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP IF ITS PUMPING METAL INTO MY FUEL SYSTEM. *TR

I HAVE A VW 2009 JETTA 2.0T WOLFSBURG SERIES, AND IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING STALLINGS FROM NOTHING. A LOT OF TIMES WHEN I START THE CAR, IT STALLS BY ITSELF FROM NOTHING AND SOMETIMES WOULD NOT START AGAIN. YESTEDAY MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND SUDDERLY THE CAR STARTED TO LOOSE POWER UNITL SHE WAS RUNNING AT 20 MILLES PER HOUR, WHEN FROM NOTHING AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. AFTER SHE GOT HOME I TOOK THE CAR FOR A RIDE, AND, ONE MORE TIME NOTHING HAPPENED. SHE DRIVES THE CAR FOR THE MOST OF TIME, BUT I HAD STALLED WITH ME, BUT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR RIGHT WAY. HOWERVER, LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IS A NEW EVENT, AND I THINK IS "VERY DANGEROUS". I HAD BEEN AT THE VW DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR, WICH IS REEVES IMPORTS AT TAMPA, FLORIDA. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR THERE FOR THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE CAR. IN FACT, THE CAR WORKS PERFECTLY, BUT IT CONCERNS ME A LOT THAT WE HAVE A CAR THAT CAN STALL FROM NOTHING. I AM AWARE THAT NTHSA HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF COMPLAINS ABOUT THESE EVENTS, AND I AM PRETTY SURE THAT VW KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, BUT IT DOES MAKE ME WORRY, WHEN NOBODY DOES NOTHING ABOUT THAT SITUATION. WHAT DO THEY WANT HAPPEN? A EVENT THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH FATAL VICTIMS?. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO TAKE CARE THAT SITUATION FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAD PURCHASED THAT VEHICLE. *TR
