NHTSA Complaint #10597417 — 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

STOPPED FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE STREET, NORMAL STOP, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, STEPPED ON THE GAS AND NOTHING! CAR STALLED AND I COULD NOT MOVE. TRAFFIC WAS BACKING UP BEHIND ME AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE. PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND ON, AFTER TWO MINUTES IT FINALLY WORKED WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. DID THE SAME THING ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER...TWICE IN ONE DAY! TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SAME DAY IT HAPPENED FIRST, TOLD ME I HAD AN ENGINE SOFTWARE RECALL, SPENT TWO HOURS AT THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS "FIXED." TWO WEEKS LATER, AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN A RED LIGHT, DID THE SAME THING. BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEAL THAT NIGHT, WHO TOLD ME THERE WAS NO LOANER CARS AVAILABLE, TOOK THE CAR FOR THREE DAYS! THEY CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THEREFORE THEY WERE GIVING ME BACK THE CAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE!! HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR SINCE OCTOBER 2013, HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 8 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS.... NOW AFFECTED BY THE O-RING RECALL! *TR
