 At 12,000 miles, the high pressure fuel pump blew up, destroying the whole fuel system.($7500)That was bad enough for a one year old car, but then it did it again at 23,000 miles.Search the internet for articles about this problem, but VW has covered it up well.The dealer said they fix about 2 per week.The car suddenly lost power going 70 mph on I-5, then died.Just barely made it to the shoulder.Very scary.I hoped the new fuel pump they installed would be a better design, but obviously it was not, since the car blew up again 6 months later- same thing- high pressure fuel pump.We sold the car, and lost $10K.My friends Jetta did the same thing.Big rip off by VW.Smartest thing we ever did was sell it.  Glad we sold before the big emissions scandal.
