Consumer Description

IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS MY 2002 JETTA 1.8T HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES FOR FAULTY COIL PACKS AND NOW I NEED ALL NEW FUEL INJECTORS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE HAD 2 NEW SETS OF REDESIGNED COIL PACKS AND I STILL GET AN ENGINE LIGHT CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE POWER AND RUN ROUGH, NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT HAPPENING TO YOU WHILE DRIVING 65 MILES A HOUR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. I WISH VOLKSWAGEN WOULD ISSUE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE REALLY GETS HURT. *NLM
