I own a 2000 VW Jetta 2.0 gls automatic. I was coasting down a hill and coming to a stop. I started using my brakes and all of a sudden with out any warnings chimes or indication my car completely shut off, brakes and steering wheel felt locked up and I almost crashed if not for my friend helping me move my steering wheel towards a side street to figure out what happen. Car would not restart. Only after an hour or so of waiting for a tow truck did my car start but was different. This happened to me 4 more times. Last time this happened I was on my way home from new job at around 2 am est I got lost and car stalls out on me with no indication and it does not just stall and stop it stalls and continues to roll until you loose momentum this is not safe. Thankfully this problem did not happen to me while on a high way this problem could cause serious injury or even death if ones car stalls and they can not control it. I took the car to my mechanic and confirmed bad coil pack and crank position sensors.

Transmission failed. The dealer replaced the part. However, two weeks later the part failed again. The vehicle would not go into reverse. The transmission slipped and the vehicle had run into a pole at a gas station on the right front side. This problem remained the same. The engine light had come on along with the transmission problems. Other problems were: The tire pressure had to be reset on numerous occasions, rear pads, A/C was not cooling, glove box, power windows, console, power sunroof, interior trim, steering/suspension, driveability, trim electrical, sound system, and heating/cooling. The consumer did not report any damage to vehicle when she hit the pole.
