NHTSA Complaint #735598 — 1992 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

THIS VEHICLE FROM NEW ( WITHIN 5 DAYS OF DELIVERLY) HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. THE WARRANTY PROVIDED FOR REPLACEMANT PARTS BUT NO MECHANIC COULD EVER FIND THE ROOT OF THE CAUSE. WHILE DRIVING THE TACHOMETER WILL BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH WITH THE ENGINE SURGING AND ATTEPMTING TO DIE OUT. AND IT WILL DIE OUT . NO CERTIAN SPEED OR CIRCUMSTANCE WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THIS. VW JUST REPLACES PARTS WITHOUT EVER IDENTIFYING WHAT THE ACTUAL CAUSE IS. THE THROTTLE POSITION SWITH HAS BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES AT A COST OF 300.00 EACH. THIS MASKES THE PROBLEM BUT DUE TO ITS INTERMINATE NATURE NO ONE CAN PUT IT ON A SCOPE AND SAY THIS IT IT. IT BECOMES A SAFTY PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING AND THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKS AND QUITS WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ALL CONECTORS ARE GOLD PLATED AS THE FACTORY RECALL WAS ISSUED, FUSES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER AS THIS HAS BECOME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. SOMEONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE AN ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFORMATION. . *AK
