2009 VW Jetta TDI Diesel Models being looked into by NHTSA

The 2009 VW Jetta sedan and the Sportswagon TDI diesel models are now being investigated by the US government officials. The investigation will look into possible engine problems with the two diesel models of the luxury vehicles. This investigation comes further to the complaints received by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). There were over seven complaints received by the authority on Tuesday alone. The complainants informed the authority that the car’s engine continued to proceed slowly with some unknown difficulty, and then came to a complete standstill almost immediately without any warning. In all these seven cases the engine came to a complete halt while the complainants were driving their vehicle.

The national highway traffic safety administration has published on its website that the complaints have been registered and that they are investigating the incidents thoroughly. The NHTSA website mentions, “”a Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety consequences associated with the alleged defect.”

The automotive experts and analysts share the same opinion as the safety agency with respect to the wider scope of the problem. It is believed that approximately 37,889 diesel powered VW Jetta sedan and estate cars are likely to have the same problems. So stay in touch with us while we dig more on the issues concerning the two vehicles.
