“Our 2005 Volkswagen jetta broke down due to the computer needing reprogramming. It did not give warning it just had no power and wouldn't go in the middle of an interstate. This was a service bulletin with Volkswagen I believe this is a safety issue because there is no warning and the brakes don't work and the car doesn't go and could potentially cause an accident.”
NHTSA complaint #10210311, filed 2007-11, 58,600 miles“Overall life of car have had to replace the majority of the hoses in the engine, the fuel line, the emergency brake release leavor-3 times, the horn on the passenger and drivers side. And with the recall the gas flange - cracking. The product vw uses in this vehicle is inferior- plastic expands when hot and contracts when cold= cracking. Please recall this vehicle due to the potential of the gas flange or whatever else is related to the gas before anyone in my family or others die. Or my cas goes up into flames causing severe trauma- especially because you already know there is a problem. …”
