2010 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

MY 2010 JETTA TDI SEDAN HAS STALLED 3 TIMES ON ME IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, I HAD COME OFF A FREEWAY, DRIVEN TWO BLOCKS ON A STREET, AND WAS MAKING A LEFT. THE CAR STALLED AND THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED THE CAR. TWO WEEKS LATER, I WAS MAKING A LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THE CAR STALLED BUT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. ON 2/22/11, I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. LUCKILY, NO DRIVER WAS BEHIND ME. I HAD THE CAR SERVICED BY VW VAN NUYS, CA BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND COULD FIND NO TRACE OF IT. *TR

ON 2/14/11, WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL IN COMMUTER TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 30 MPH, MY 2010 VW SPORTWAGON TDI STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND FAILED TO RESTART. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND, AFTER A SHORT WAIT, THE ENGINE RESTARTED. AT FIRST IT IDLED VERY ROUGHLY AT 800 RPM, BUT EVENTUALLY THE IDLE SMOOTHED AT 1,000 RPM, AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED TO WORK. MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS JUST SERVICED BY VW THREE WEEKS AGO. I REPORT THIS BECAUSE I JUST SAW THIS WEEKEND AN ARTICLE ON BLOOMBERG ABOUT VW DIESEL ENGINES HAVING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE ONLY STALLING EPISODE I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH THIS VEHICLE TO DATE. *TR
