What owners wrote
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.
Tl*the contact owns a 2010 volkswagen jetta sportwagen. The contact stated that after the vehicle came to a stop and she applied the accelerator pedal the vehicle would not move. It took her about four to five seconds before the vehicle would respond but it did not stall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who ran a diagnostic test but could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle was driven by two people within the same family and the failure occurred more than one time. The manufacturer was not contacted.
