| Description of the problem | I was driving home and my vehicle suddenly stopped at 30mph entering a intersection with train tracks. No warning at all other than a quick light on the dash and engine completely shut off and would not restart. Driver behind me luckily did not hit me and i somehow was able to coast my vehicle into a driveway lot of a gas station on the corner. After coasting into the lot i was unable to start my vehicle at that point i became stranded, luckily with no accident. After the fact i did further research and discovered that on volkswagen diesel engines numerous consumers have had the same failure with the high pressure fuel pump that also would cut out while driving for no reason and leaving vehicle inoperative on the road. |
