Consumer Description

THE NUMBER OF MISFIRES AND FAILED COILPACK'S ON MY '01 VW JETTA 1.8T IS RIDICULOUS. I KNOW OF SEVERAL PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY IS WAS IN THE SHOP AT LEAST 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME MISFIRE PROBLEM AND NOW THAT I'M OUT OF WARRANTY THE PROBLEM IS STILL VERY PERSISTENT. VW NEEDS TO OFFICIALLY RECALL THESE COIL PACKS WITH SOMETHING THAT WORKS PROPERLY. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO AFFECT MY ABILITY TO PASS MY STATE EMISSIONS TESTING AND SERIOUSLY EFFECTS MY DRIVEABILITY AND RELIABILITY.. VIN # [XXX]... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
