VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS OF ABOUT 65MPH WHEN THE SUNROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD, LUCKILY CAR WAS KEPT UNDER CONTROL. SUNROOF EXPLODED AND GLASS HIT THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME AS WELL AS MYSELF.

I HAVE A VOLKSWAGEN JETTA GLI 2.0 TURBO. IT CURRENTLY HAS 55,000. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM ON INITIAL START WHERE BY IT RUNS ROUGH, SOMETIMES STALLS AT IDLE AND SOMETIMES STALLS ON INITIAL ACCELERATION. THIS STARTED AS A 30 DAY PROGRESS OF GETTING WORSE. NOW THE YELLOW ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND AT THE SAME TIME THE CRUISE CONTROL YELLOW LIGHT APPEARS (INTERMITTENT). COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS WERE RUN. WHEN TESTS WERE RUN AS A GROUP NO FAILURES REPORTED BUT WHEN RUN INDIVIDUALLY 7 FAULTS OCCURRED INCLUDING CYLINDER MISS-FIRES AND CAMSHAFT ADJ BANK 1 INTAKE ERROR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AT 65 MPH AND IT SUDDENLY SLOWED DOWN OR DISENGAGED FOR NO REASON. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AND RETURNED TO THE SAME SPEED AND TURNED ON THE CRUISE AGAIN. THEN ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER, WHEN TRAFFIC BEGIN TO SLOW AHEAD, I TRIED HITTING THE BRAKES AND HAD ZERO BRAKING ABILITY. THE CRUISE DID NOT DISENGAGE AND I HAD TO PULL THE E BRAKE TO GET THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN CAUSING THE CAR TO FISH TAIL AND ALMOST HIT A CONCRETE BARRIER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT LOST POWER. THE CONTACT HAD TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY AND NARROWLY AVOIDED A COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SEASIDE VOLKSWAGEN (1725 AUTO CENTER PKWY, SEASIDE, CA 93955, (831) 394-6666), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED OR LOCATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE SEASIDE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,500. *AS *TR

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-75MPH ON THE HIGHWAY WITH 1/4 TO 1/2 FULL TANK OF GAS, MY CAR BEGAN TO STUTTER/HESITATE. IMMEDIATELY THE "EPC" LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE CHECK ENGINE SYMBOL, BLINKING. ALL POWER TO THE ACCELERATOR CEASED. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER ON EACH INSTANCE, TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED 2-5 MINUTES. AFTER WAITING, I SUCCESSFULLY RE-STARTED THE CAR EACH TIME, WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINING ON. AFTER THE FIRST INSTANCE, I DROVE <40MPH TO A VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND LEFT MY CAR TO BE INSPECTED. THE CONCLUSION WAS, "NOT ENOUGH GASOLINE", DESPITE THE TANK READING 1/4 FULL. AFTER THAT INSTANCE, I MADE A POINT TO NEVER LET THE GAS FALL BELOW 1/2 FULL. ON THE TWO OTHER OCCASIONS OF HESITATION/LOSS OF POWER, THE TANK FELL BETWEEN 1/4 AND 1/2 FULL. AFTER PULLING OVER, TURNING THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTING THE CAR, I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO A GAS STATION AND FILLED UP TO A FULL TANK WITHOUT BRINGING IN FOR INSPECTION. KEEPING THE GAS TANK ABOVE 1/2 FULL, I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE. WHEN THE GAS FALLS BELOW 1/2 A TANK, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUSH THE START BUTTON AND SHIFT INTO PARK TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES IN ONE MONTH AND WAS WORSENING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VOLKSWAGEN VAN NUYS (6115 VAN NUYS BLVD, VAN NUYS, CA 91401) WHERE IT WAS AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400.
