ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL COMPNENTS HAVE FAILED AND BEEN REPLACED. THE MISFIRING ON ACCELERATION CAUSES CAR TO THRUST FORWARD AFTER APPLYING THE THROTTLE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD, AS I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ON-COMING TRAFIC IN AN INTERSECTION.

#747692July 2, 2001
VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS PREMATURELLY CAUSING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO DOOR. PROBLEM OCCURS WITH EITHER DOOR ON BOTH THE TWO DOOR AND FOUE DOOR JETTA AND GOLF. THERE IS A LONG LIST OF OWNERS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE RECIEVED VERY LITTLE ASSISTANCE FROM DEALER OR VW ABOUT ISSUE. MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS CAN BE VIEWED ON THE INTERNET AT, "WWW.VWVORTEX.COM." LOOK FOR THE FOROUM SECTION, THEN PROCEED TO JETTA AND GOLF IV. DO A SEARCH FOR WINDOW REGULATORS AND VOLLA YOU WILL FIND A LONG LIST OF OWNERS HOW HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS TO THE DEALERS AND TO VWOA ABOUT ISSUE. VWOA STANCE HAS NOT BEEN SET AS A WHOLE AS OF YET, IT SEEMS THAT THEY WILL STRADDLE THE GATE ON THIS ISSUE UNTIL SOMEONE MAKES THEM ACCOUNTABLE. AND WITHOUT VWOA ADDMITTING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE DEALERSHIPS WILL CONTINUE TO DENY THAT THERE IS A DEFECT AND MAKE THE OWNER LIABLE. PLEASE, CAN YOU INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND GIVE THE MAJORITY OF UUS VW OWNERS SOME RELIEF. THANK YOU
