NHTSA Complaint #11218757 — 2014 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

MY CAR HAS HAD MANY PROBLEMS AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE FIXED THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. ALL PROBLEMS OCCURRED AFTER 50,000 MILES. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO RUN AND START HARD. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN DRIVING. IT WOULD REV UP BUT NO MOTION UNTIL SOMETHING EVENTUALLY SWITCHED INTO GEAR, WHILE IN MOTION ON STREETS AND HIGHWAY. IT WILL ACT LIKE THIS FOR AWHILE WITHOUT TRIGGERING A CODE. I WOULD BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WOULD BE TOLD IT WAS NOTHING. EVENTUALLY IT WILL TRIGGER THE EPC CODE, BUT THE CODE WILL DISAPPEAR THE NEXT TIME THE CAR IS TURNED ON. ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP HAS "FIXED" THIS ISSUE ONCE BEFORE STATING THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. THEY COVERED THE COST, BUT SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEY STATE THAT NOW I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE REPAIR, WHEN IT WASN'T FIXED CORRECTLY OR DIAGNOSED CORRECTLY IN THE FIRST PLACE. I HAVE MISSED NUMEROUS DAYS OF WORK, AND HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A CAR DO TO DIAGNOSIS/ REPAIRS FOR OVER 2 MONTHS IN THIS PAST YEAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON A CAR.
