Consumer Description

THE THROTTLE FAILED TO RESPOND IN MY NEW 2003 VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE. IT DIDN'T RESPOND WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS IS SPORADIC AND UNPREDICTABLE IN NATURE. VEHICLE REMAINS AT IDLE EVEN WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY. SOMETIMES IT RESPONDS BY REVVING UP THE ENGINE TOO HIGH AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. I HAD IT REPAIRED THREE TIMES AND AS OF THIS DATE THE PROBLEM REMAINS. *LA
