36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2012

Vehicle began stalling at stops at about 55000 miles. Vehicle at complete stop, take foot of brake and it either (1) rolls then moves forward, (2) lurches/shutters and moves forward or (3) stalls before putting foot on gas. The stalling has become more frequent in the last month and on may 31 2013, the vehicle stalled multiple times and on one occasion did not restart after approximately half dozen attempts but finally managed to restart. The vehicle is going in for service to hopefully identify and fix this issue on June 3 2013. The lurching forward can be drastic and the potential for "jumping" forward into another car and cuasing an accident is now a real concern.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/02/2012

The door locks on my 2009 Jetta will not lock/unlock. This can cause an issue where the door remains locked randomly, prohibiting an occupant from exiting the car in case of an emergency. This also allows the door to remain unlocked when assuming it has been locked, leading the car to be more accessible to unwanted patrons!.
