Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Fuel pump cracked, and placement of pump caused gasoline to pool underneath back seat inside the car, right under where my 4 year olds car seat is. Tech started we are extremely lucky that it didnt catch on fire, because it was basically a bomb directly underneath him that could have gone off anytime the car was turned on or running. Only found out about it when i took it to get the fuel pump module replaced, and only found out about that recall when the car started stalling out while driving. It is now at volkswagen of macon waiting on parts for a $1,000 repair. We are going to get rid of the car because we are not putting my son back in a car where that is even possible.
