Warnings problem #1

This experience was with a rental vehicle - and I sent an email to the NHTSA address with additional details. Later, I saw this form. I am pasting the information here: request #1527353 2024 vw Jetta rental vehicle - unintended acceleration / braking the vehicle was rented from fox rent-a-car in las vegas, nv for my short trip to California and back.

Adaptive Cruise Control problem #2

Transmission control module light comes on and the light states safely pull car over and put in park. It’s tried to been fixed multiple times, they are waiting on a software update. I’ll drive the car and have to pull over because the tcm light comes on and can’t drive/ accelerate. The dealership told me to drive the car and deal with it until it gets fixed. The issue first appeared in Nov of 2025 and it’s been a recurring issue since. I can’t take it anywhere without it happening, then I have to get towed.
