Jetta

  • 3,300 miles
Vehicle pauses for up to 5 seconds when attempting to accelerate across an intersection or while attempting to pass another car on the highway. This failure happens sporadically whether on a public street or highway. I never know when it will occur but have almost been hit by other vehicles several times.

Jetta

  • 3,200 miles
At any time, day or night, any time of the year, when accelerating from a stop or attempting to pass another vehicle, this car will fail to accelerate when pressing down on the gas pedal. The delay can be as long as 5 seconds and since I never know when it will happen, I feel the vehicle is very unsafe. It can fail to accelerate in the middle of an intersection with traffic coming at you from both directions and you will not be able to get out of their way. I feel I take my life in my hands every time I step into this vehicle and recommend that on one ever buy one of these death traps!!!!

Jetta

  • 1,200 miles
Jetta engine quit running with no notice in busy highway. Car had to be towed to dealer. Car was not repaired for three weeks. They cited lack of fuel system management computer module. It would take 5-7 business days to get. Fuel computer module and fuel pump were replaced. Have no confidence in car safety. VW will not replace per my request. My wife is fearful of driving car since she was traumatized.
