Volkswagen Jetta Fuel System, Diesel Safety Report | Mar 31, 2011
Reported on Mar 31, 2011
| I HAVE A 2011 VW JETTA SEDAN, PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2011. I HAD A FUEL INJECTOR FAILURE, CAUSING DIESEL FUEL TO SPRAY WITHIN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OF MY VEHICLE AND FUEL TO LEAK ONTO THE ROADWAY AS I WAS DRIVING. THERE WAS NO VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS INDICATING ANY FAILURE OR LEAKAGE OTHER THAN A FUEL SMELL. WHEN I PARKED MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE MY HUSBAND NOTICED FUEL LEAKING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AS THE VEHICLE AND I COULD HAVE CAUGHT ON FIRE AT ANY TIME. *TR | |
