Description of the problem | 2013 volkswagen passat stalled for no reason. Luckily this happened on slow speed city streets. This would be a very dangerous situation had it happened on the freeway at higher speeds. Diagnosis by dealer in the following days showed that the failure of the high pressure diesel fuel pump was the cause for this issue. The diagnosis and resolution of the above issue took 2 weeks to resolve. Hopefully it does not happen again. |
