The contact owned a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta. The vehicle was parked when the contact noticed flames coming from under the hood area. The fire department was called to extinguish the fire. The manufacturer was contacted and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle and determine a cause of failure. The engineer discovered that there were leaves in the engine, caused by rodent infestation, which resulted in the fire. The contact stated that prior to the failure, the vehicle was repaired under a voluntary recall for the fuel system. The contact was concerned that the recall could have been related to the fire and did not agree with the engineer's findings. The vehicle was destroyed. The approximate failure mileage was 68,000.

Ice in the air intake caused the engine to vapor lock which caused a bent piston rod. Dealer is going to remove the factory air intake after installing a new engine under warranty and claims this is an engineered fix. Dealer also said that Volkswagen is working on some heater add on in the possible future. I suspect that the current fix is not a fix as the trouble was not when driving it was after the car set for a few days and ice formed in the intake. NHTSA should investigate to confirm the engineering issue is addressed correctly to protect consumers.

On a 40 degree day I drove the car about 1 mile. At a traffic light it stalled. I had to keep the car in park until the light changed, then I put it in drive. When the car was initially started it didn't seem right. It didn't seem to have power or pick up. I noticed the tachometer was quickly bouncing between 1800 RPM down to 400 RPM prior to stalling. Car had half a tank of diesel, outside weather conditions were dry. The consumer stated the stalling is still ongoing. The dealer believed the stalling was a result of different additives in the fuel between winter and summer. Updated 09/14/11

I was driving on a secondary highway going only 30 mph when a warning light came on. At the same time the engine started running very rough. I immediately pulled the car to the side of the road. At the side of the road with the engine off, I pulled out the Jetta handbook to research the meaning of the warning light. The light blinking was the engine malfunction light. After that I called the VW 800 road side program, a tow truck came and towed the Jetta to the dealer. Now this morning I go to the dealership and they inform me the cost of getting this new car fixed will be $6,800. With that information I have to ask why and the dealership proceeds to say I have "bad fuel". the comment by the dealership triggered all types of responses. The first response was proof I put the right type of fuel in the tank which I did. Next I had to go and get a sample of fuel from the filling station. After that I delivered a sample of the fuel in question to the dealership for testing. As it turns out the fuel was okay. While I am running around doing all of this my wife finds out via the internet of issues the Jetta is having with the fuel pump. Keep in mind, at no point has the dealership given me information regarding a possible fuel pump issue, which would be a warranty issue, aka no cost to me! it is now 5:20 pm and I have not heard from the dealership. Now I have another issue, is the dealership trying to defraud me? and if so the dealership will have big problems.
