On monday, 9/24/12 while driving my 2009 Jetta TDI, the car began to feel sluggish, glo plug began to flash, panel flashed a warning "engine failure, Workshop!" and the car lost all power. Read in the manual to try to drive to service, car would not crank. Assumed something mechanical, so I called my dealership and asked who should tow to them. Wrecker sent, car towed, hoped for a simple fix. Tuesday afternoon, service manager calls and says I have encountered some "bad fuel" and I need to trace where I bought it. I knew right away where and when I purchased, as I always use the same pump at the same station for my fueling. I went to try to get a printed receipt, because unfortunately I depend on the internet to track everything (will never happen again) and was told that I would have to get one from my credit card company. Called the home office of the gas station to discuss possible contamination, given a voicemail. Dealer says 3rd party extended warranty was coming out to inspect the vehicle on wednesday. As you can imagine, warranty company denies claiming they found unleaded gasoline in the car (although service techs inital report refutes this) and we get a report to this effect. We ask for a sample of fuel to test, it appears to have something besides diesel in the bottle but upon discussion with the tech present when we arrived, there was no way unleaded was put in the gas tank and the car driven 450.5 miles. He said and others in the same facility agreed that the car would have quit a mile down the road. Began to research and found this forum and we are quiite frankly disgusted by VW and NHSTA for agreeing that any of this could be human error. IF the pump can't function with the diesel fuel sold in the area, then they should recall the vehicle. Who would know to search for fuel somewhere else? We are experienced diesel fuel users, from tractors to cars and trucks, and it is not acceptable to place this blame on us and sweep under the rug. Dealership is trying to help, claiming that the car had a different pump, we need to go to the gas company, blah blah blah. Look, they know about the issue, know about the product. Just fix the problem and move on. What normal family has $8000 lying around just to give VW to fix an issue that they should have put right from the start? Please advise, we are filing a complaint with NHTSA, but not convinced this will be made right.
