1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 07/11/2020

My car can be turned off and does need to be in park. The electrical comes and goes but the most alarming is the Jetta accelerates on it's own and it takes a couple of minutes to get it under control. At one point I have no way of stopping the acceleration to stop. Also, I asked crestmont vw if it was normal to have car off and not in park. They acted like it was normal. The Jetta has rolled back and almost hit people. I have not received any recalls from the company. It happens all the time.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 06/04/2020

I have a 2017vw Jetta which suddenly �locks� as I am driving. My car suddenly starts reducing speed and the breaks become stiff. I see several lights flash on the dashboard, such as the epc light, tire warning lights, and motor light. After the matter, if I want to start the vehicle again, the break and shift stick become stiff and I can't start the ignition. I recall this happening to me one year after buying the vehicle but all I did was turn off the car and the lights went away. I was able to drive my car without that happening for a year or so and it happened again. Same thing, I would have to pull over, turn the vehicle off and wait for about 20-30 min for the vehicle to start. Yesterday this happened to me while driving to work. I was driving about 70mph on the freeway and I noticed my steering wheel became stiff and my car started reducing speed on its own. I no longer had control of the vehicle forcing me to pull over on the side of the freeway at a very low speed almost causing an accident. I had to wait about 15 min for my car to start and was able to get down of the freeway but it kept on happening on my way home and I had to pull over about 6 times waiting 10-15min each time for my car to start. I scheduled a service appointment with my local dealership so they can take a look at it and hopefully fix this problem. I believe this is a safety issue that needs to get addressed immediately.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 11/29/2018

Takara recall- my brakes jammed up and would not stop, which resulted in a vehicle collision on November 29, 2018. I tried pressing the brakes, however, they just would not stop. I was driving home on a city street. They had done this after I got them serviced before and I notified the dealership, however, I was told they were fine.
