Engine Problems of Volkswagen Jetta - part 2

I had a coil pack burn out on my 2001 vw Jetta - it has 21000 miles. It appears to be a known problem and many people are experiencing this failure. Vw (and Audi) will only replace coils when they individually burn out. Vw/Audi should recall and replace all coils either at the time of burn out or before it becomes an issue. The number of people who have had this problem suggest that the coils are either defective or the design of the vehicle is faulty. The manufacturer should be responsible for this even if the vehicles warranty has expired. Ts.

I have been going to board walk Volkswagen dealer in richardson and rusty wallace Volkswagen in garland, texas for my repair for my car for more than 8 times. The car is still not repaired and I am very frustrated. The problem is that when I start my car, it shakes really bad I would have to warm it up for 5 minutes. Sometimes the car dies while I am driving. I wrote a complaint letter to the rusty wallace because I purchased my vehicle there and the service manager (dan turk) seems to be avoiding my phone calls. I need help!! I would like to attach my letter of complaint (that I sent to the dealer) if I could. Thank you.

My car which was purchased brand new in July 2001 has been to the repair shop 13 times. I purchased a 2001 Volkswagen Jetta. The ongoing problem is that the car is losing power while accelerating. Volkswagen doesn't want to acknowledge the defect of their own product. I was told two things which doesn't make sense to me. First, I was told my engine is not apart of the recall for those other vw cars that are losing power. Second, a vw representative told me it was my extra car mats that is probably causing the problem. I think Volkswagen is just ignoring this serious problem. If my car slows down on me whenever it wants and I die as a result of their defect product that they don't want to recognize, it is truly going to be a serious problem. The car had problems with the engine, airbags, malfunctioned sensor, clock spring, harness, and now it is losing power. Although this car has had numerous problems, this is the most serious problem that I would like o be rectified. Volkswagen service department changed the computer and told me this will definitely solve the problem. Obviously it did not solve the problem. Since the computer was changed in sept. 2002 the car lost power 3 times since then.
