2002 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA Complaints

COIL HAS BROKEN TWICE IN TWO WEEKS. KNOWN ISSUE WITH VW AND THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE ALL POTENTIALY DEFECTIVE PARTS, ONLY WILL REPLACE CURRENTLY BROKEN PARTS. DT

I STARTED VEHICLE, PROCEEDED TO DRIVE, BUT VEHICLE SHUDDERED AND LOST POWER. ALSO THERE WAS A SLIGHT FOUL SMELL. MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE BY DEALERSHIP, AS IGNITION COILS FAILED. THEY SAID ONLY TWO DAMAGED AT THIS TIME AND WILL NOT REPLACE OTHER TWO UNLESS PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTED INCIDENTS ON SIMILAR VEHICLES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE IF THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE WHY ARE THEY NOT REPLACING ALL 4. THIS COULD ALSO CAUSE ME TO BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE AS I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES ON OCCASION. DT

FAILURE RESULTS IN DISABLING OF VEHICLE. VW IS ONLY REPLACING FAILED COILS EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMIT THAT THE OTHERS WILL PROBABLY FAIL EVENTUALLY. DT

ONE COIL PACK FAILURE IN MIAMI, REPAIRED BY ESSERMAN VW. ANOTHER FAILED IN NW GEORGIA MOUNTAINS, REPAIRED BY OBTAINING PART THRU LOCAL TECHICIAN. DT

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE TRAVELING ABOUT 30MPH THE PEDAL WILL GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. TS

ENGINE COILS FAIL WHILE DRIVING LOSS OF POWER DANGEROUS. VW KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM, REFUSES TO FIX ALL COILS, SAYS WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO FAIL THAT CAUSES ACCIDENTS. SAFETY RELATED RECALL OF ALL COILS REQUIRED. DT

THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH VW/AUDI 1.8T ENGINES. AFFECTS AUDI A4, VW PASSAT/BEETLE/JETTA. PARTS BACK ORDERED THROUGH DEALER, THEY SAID. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. CAR LOSES POWER WHEN MOVING, WILL NOT GO FASTER THAN 20MPH. POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS, COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENT HAPPEND MANY, MANY TIMES. ALSO, MORE THAN ONE FAILIURE HAS HAPPEND TO A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT I KNOW. DT
