My car while parked and the engine going will stop. Also when I'm on the freeway the epc light will turn on and feel like I have a loss of power and it feels like it is accelerating. My mechanic has no idea what is going on with my car.
My airbag light is on and it never goes off when I first start it it has a warning noise and says airbag fault then the light stays on the car also when driving it sometimes gets stuck in the rpm window between the 2 and the 3 and it wont want to get unstuck you have to take your foot completely off then place back on the pedal and then it jerks away.
Fuse box on the top of the battery caught fire and melted the fusible link from the alternator to the battery connect. Going at 40 miles per hour and car shuts off, no brakes no power all electrical systems off dash lit up like christmas tree. Thank god for the ditch and that we weren't on interstate otherwise someone could have been killed or injured such as my pregnant wife.
2005. 5 Jetta--vehicle has rough shifting between 2nd and 3rd gears. As well as downshifting. While driving on a mountainside, going 65 mph, the car suddenly downshifted to 3rd gear and would not accelerate. I had to pull over on the side of a mountain, with cars flying by me. The car would not shift gears until turned off and on again. This is now happening during regular acceleration at low speeds. This is a huge safety concern, as I could have been rear ended by another vehicle due to loss of power/speed.
As I try to accelerate the gears jump erradically.
: the contact stated when the accelerator pedal is depressed, after being stopped at a red light, the vehicle will move for a split second then stop. If the vehicle is turned off for 15 minutes, it will go for 10 miles. This is an intermittent problem. The vehicle has been towed to the dealership four times. The dealership is unable to determine a problem, but has replaced multiple components. The dealership has reset the codes, replaced the throttle body control valve module, the throttle position sensor, the wires connecting the ecm, the accelerator pedal, 18 connectors, the wires to the pedal, bolts, and installed a harness. These efforts have not repaired the problem and the vehicle is currently at the dealership.
The contact stated when accelerating between 25-30 mph the vehicle hesitated and lurched forward. This problem was intermittent in nature. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer numerous times. However , the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. No repairs have been made.
The contact owns a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta. He is having problems with the accelerator pedal. The vehicle will not accelerate when he needs it to. When he turns the car off and lets the computer reset then start the vehicle it will accelerate. He took car to a dealer, and since the problem was intermittent they could not figure out the cause of the problem. Dealer could not duplicate the problem while having the car for eight days.
