Description of the problem | Driving a 2014 volkswagen passat tdi in heavy interstate traffic on i-24 my high pressure fuel pump failed leaving me stranded in dangerous heavy traffic. I car would not budge, had to be towed in and now facing problems with the dealership and volkswagen of america not wanting to repair a known problematic part--not to mention a dangerous part to fail at anytime while operating a motor vehicle. I practice good maintenance and proper fuel is always dispensed into my volkswagen passat tdi as i'm the only person who fuels this vehicle with diesel. I've driven for ups, been a nurse for 20 years and can honestly say this was a very dangerous situation on the interstate. The volkswagen dealership is located in murfressboro tn, 2203 nw broad st, phone 615-653-4694 |
