The contact owns a 2024 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated without a warning light being illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
I own a silver 2024 Volkswagen Jetta. My car stopped accelerating while I was driving on the freeway on 7/18/2026 which was a huge safety issue resulting in my car needing to be towed to the dealership because it was not drivable. The warning lights came on after the car stopped accelerating on the freeway. My car needs a ecm replacement which is covered by the federal emissions warranty and I received a call from my Volkswagen representative on the case at family Volkswagen of burleson. The representative with Volkswagen told me on 7/25/2026 that the ecm needs to be replaced as they did not think it was safe for them to release the vehicle until this repair has been made and they were waiting for Volkswagen to authorize the repair. The representative later stated that Volkswagen will not authorize the replacement of the ecm and this is a safety concern. The dealership has not completed a repair for this issue and this vehicle does not need to be on the road for the safety of me and others. The dealership have told me I can pick up the vehicle and just bring it back if the safety issues occurs again, I refuse to pick up this car due to the safety issues and concerns. I have contacted the corporate office of Volkswagen and they have not responded to me on why they declined the authorization for this repair.
