1 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta

Failure Date: 07/01/2012

I have a 2010 Jetta wolfsburg 2. 0 turbo. I have had nothing but problems with it and the dealer can't seem to help me. The doors won't lock or unlock consistantly with the key fob. When I lock it, the horn beeps to let me know the alarm is on, but the doors don't lock! not even manually. If I open the door, the alarm sounds, but the doors won't lock! the touchscreen radio made a popping sound about 5 days ago and went completely black. The radio is hooked up to the car's blue tooth so that is not working either. No hands free talking for me! I also paid a lot of money to have a lifetime subscription to sirius satalite radio for that car. That sucks! the blinkers don't work properly. If I put my left blinker on, the right one goes on and vice versa. My expensive key, broke off in the ignition randomly. The car stalls while idling. The gas pedal gets stuck in the "up" position causing me to lose acceleration on the highway and barely be able to move. My check engine light is constantly going on and off for no apparent reason. It is one thing after another. The car is only 4 yrs old! these are safety issues that it seems lots of vw owners are having. Having no locking doors, or doors that won't unlock, no alarm, no radio/bluetooth, faulty blinkers, and a sticky gas pedal are all dangerous! I left my car at the dealer for a whole day and they said "hmmmm. . . . . . It's a mystery" um. . . . What! from what I can see, I should be expecting my car battery to die any day now due to the radio. Lemon!.

2 Accelerator Stuck problem of the 1997 Volkswagen Jetta

Failure Date: 10/30/2009

Accelerator sticks when in high rpm, if you hit the brake it slows the car down a little but the car continues to accelerate. This has happened 2 times when I'm going around 60pmh and have dropped into 4th gear to pass someone. I had to shut the car off to stop it from accelerating. Then when the car was shut off and in park and the emergency brake was up, I tried turning the car on and as soon as I turned it on it revved up really high. It finally turned on normally after in turned it on and off a couple times. The accelerator has also stuck when I was going around 70-75 and hit the accelerator to pass someone to get into a different lane, I did not drop into 4th gear, I was in 5th gear the whole time. This time I was in the middle of 5 lanes of traffic and didn't have the option to shut it off, I put the car in neutral and then shifted it back into 5th gear and that fixed it that time.
