Consumer Description

MY JETTA HAS BEEN BACK AT THE DEALER 5 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO MONTHS TO REPAIR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES UPON ACCELERATION AS IF IT WILL STALL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON UNTIL THEY RESET IT AND SOMETIMES IT GOES OFF. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE MASS AIR SENSOR AND CLEANED PARTS OF THE ENGINE. THEN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM IS THE IGNITION COIL AND WIRES FOR AN ADDITIONAL $700.00. THIS CAR IS JUST THREE YEARS OLD AND I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $2000 IN REPAIRS IN TWO MONTHS. I DIDN'T EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE DEALER'S PARKING LOT BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. VW NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BUT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES WON'T HELP. *LA
