| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Within the first month of owning my vw jetta 1.8l turbo, the check engine light has been on and off. each time that i take it in to have the problem diagnosed something is repaired, but in a few days the light is back on and there is a new problem. i have already had thousands of dollars of work done on the car and nothing seems to help the problem. recently, the check engine light has been on and the car will shake violently for about 2 minutes until the car is warmed up. if i try to drive the car before the shaking stops, it barely moves even if completely depressing the accelerator, and the brakes seem to lock up, nearly hitting other cars when parked in a parking lot. when the car does warm up it lurches forward but then seems to run just fine. i have had the recalled problems fixed as well as numerous other repairs, but i am concerned that this same problem keeps happening, and that i have seen this problem on several other websites. *nm |
