Description of the problem	New 2013 jetta tdi with less than 7000 miles had a catastrophic diesel engine failure on i-5 northbound in washington state. Diesel engine light came on, cruise control failed, lost power. Luckily i was coming up on an exit and able to safely pull off. Was traveling at the speed limit rate of 70 mph. Found out from service that it was a high pressure fuel pump failure and that they were going to have to replace the entire fuel system. Could have ended up in an accident if i had not been able to pull off. Did research on the internet and found out that this is a known problem. Trying to get vw to replace the car, cannot depend on it now. There needs to be a recall on those fuel pumps! I was two hours late for a extremely important meeting in seattle that i could not be late too.
