What owners wrote

I purchased my brand new VW jetta from the dealership lot. Less than 4 weeks later when the car was in the driveway I started it, and as I pressed the gas down the car began to move (in a sputtering/jerking type of movemen)t but it was not able to go more than 7 feet before it stalled out,, and the rpm's were high and the car just moved like it was not able to properly accelerate, it stalled out before the end of my drive way.
