I was pulling into a parking space with a new 2010 wolfsburg Jetta I had my foot on the brake when it accelerated unexpectedly over a decorative divider. The car did not respond to repeated attempts to stop it. I used two feet and was literally off my seat trying to control the car. It finally stopped. I was lucky no pedestrians or myself and passenger was injured. Vw supposedly checked the car and said it is operational; however at the first they said many codes came up but no one would tell me what the codes were. This car had 345 miles and I think it is unsafe to drive the computer over rode what I was wanting the car to do. Updated ivoq 09/08/10.

Please refer to my previous complaint submitted 9/17/2005 regarding my '02 vw Jetta. The crash was a result of sudden acceleration and extended braking distance. The reason I am writing again is to address the fact that my local news (denver channel 7 news) did an undercover feature in regards to the Volvo's sudden acceleration and deceleration. The mechanic used in the piece determined the problem was the electronic throttle. Thus, Volvo is announcing a major recall on all 1999-2002 Volvo's. This issue is rampant among the auto industry including vwoa. Please extend your investigation to include vw and hopefully vwoa will do a major recall on all cars equipped with electronic throttles. Please note that I was required to attend dmv court since I was issued a ticket. The judge ruling over my case ended up dismissing my case because of the evidence I had brought to court. More over, the judge was a former mechanic for 8 years and he has worked extensively on vw's. He was very familiar with my situation. I don't have my VIN # handy, but it was listed in my complaint odi id #: 10136890. Please refer to my case number for further details.

While the brake was applied the vehicle suddenly accelerated. The consumer attempted to put the vehicle in neutral but it kept racing forward.
