2000 Volkswagen Jetta acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine mounts failed.
Numerous electrical compnents have failed and been replaced. The misfiring on acceleration causes car to thrust forward after applying the throttle. I consider this to be a safety hazard, as I was almost struck by on-coming trafic in an intersection.
Vehicle would accelerate on its own, without touching gas pedal.
When coming to a stop light applied brakes vehicle accelerated forward. Problem occurred due to close proximity of the brake pedal and the gas pedal. It is possible to depress the brake pedal and gas pedal simultaneously and accelerate while try to stop.
From stop depressing accelerator, engine RPM runs to 3,000 transmission does not engage then jumps into gear causing uncontrolled jack-rabbit start.
While approaching a traffic stop applied brake pedal, and all of a sudden vehicle commenced to accelerate and rear ended vehicle in front dealer/ manufacturer notified and received a case number. Please feel free to provide any further details.
