| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Please refer to my previous complaint submitted 9/17/2005 regarding my '02 vw jetta. the crash was a result of sudden acceleration and extended braking distance. the reason i am writing again is to address the fact that my local news (denver channel 7 news) did an undercover feature in regards to the volvo's sudden acceleration and deceleration. the mechanic used in the piece determined the problem was the electronic throttle. thus, volvo is announcing a major recall on all 1999-2002 volvo's. this issue is rampant among the auto industry including vwoa. please extend your investigation to include vw and hopefully vwoa will do a major recall on all cars equipped with electronic throttles. please note that i was required to attend dmv court since i was issued a ticket. the judge ruling over my case ended up dismissing my case because of the evidence i had brought to court. more over, the judge was a former mechanic for 8 years and he has worked extensively on vw's. he was very familiar with my situation. i don't have my vin # handy, but it was listed in my complaint odi id #: 10136890. please refer to my case number for further details. *jb |
