2006 Volkswagen Jetta Cruise Control Problems

THROTTLE LAG EITHER IN START OR MOVING FROM 1ST TO 2ND TO 3RD TO 4TH TO 5TH TO 6TH. FELT MORE STRONG WHEN USING THE TIPTRONIC TRANSMISSION IN AUTOMATIC. ALSO FELT IN MANUAL BUT NOT AS STRONGLY, VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE WHEN PEDAL DEPRESSED UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 20 SECONDS AFTER APPLYING PRESSURE. CREATES A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TURNING INTO OR ONTO A STREET OR HIGHWAY. THE EXPECTATION IS THE CAR WILL MOVE, BUT RESPONSE IS SLOW. THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE AS THE WEATHER GETS WARMER.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS DRIVING ON A SPEED LIMIT OF 35MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE SHIFTED DOWN TO FIRST GEAR AND MY PRNDS INDICATORS STARTED BLINKING, IT WOULD SHIFT TO SECOND GEAR AFTER THAT. LATER ON CALLED MY FRIEND AND HE DOSE NOT KNOW THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT HE SAID IT IS A LIMP MODE CAR, WHAT EVER THAT MEANS. GOOD THING I JUST GOT OFF A HIGHWAY AND COUPLE MINS IT HAPPENED. THANK YOU JESUS! THE CAR IS 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA TDI 1.9L. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO INTERMITTENTLY HESITATE TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,000.

MY JETTA WOULD STALL AND WE WERE ALMOST INVOLVED IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WE BROUGHT IT TO DEALER AND THEY TOLD US IT WAS FIXED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I ASKED FOR A REPLACEMENT AND THEY REFUSED. PROBLEM HAS NOT OCCURRED RECENTLY, HOWEVER WE WERE ALMOST KILLED. UNSURE OF DATES, HOWEVER DEALER HAS RECORDS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 JETTA TDI AND MY MILES ARE OFF....IT SEEMS AS THOUGH EVERYONE I TALK TO WITH THIS CAR HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM GOING 3-5 MILES SLOWER THEN WHAT IT IS SHOWING. I WAS THINKING OVER TIME WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN 55,000 MILES THAT I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 50,000. I THINK THIS IS WRONG FOR A COMPANY TO DO AND VW WILL NOT DO A THING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO DECELERATE. SHE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 14,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

SPEEDOMETER READS 10 TO 15 PERCENT HIGH. AT 65 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER READS 73 MPH. DEALER STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH JETTA'S AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO CORRECT. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2006 VW JETTA (DIESEL) THAT HAS A 3-5 MPH SPEEDOMETER ERROR IN THE DRIVER'S ANALOG DISPLAY. THE DISPLAYED SPEED IS LOWER THAN ACTUAL. THIS HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS CARS TO PASS ME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THIS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I INSTALLED A SCAN TOOL ON THE CAR AND IT READS THE CORRECT SPEED, WHILE THE ANALOG DISPLAY IS READING 3-5 MPH SLOWER THAN ACTUAL. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THAT THE ANALOG DISPLAY IS SET FOR DIFFERING TIRE SIZES. *JB

SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS 3-5 MPH SLOWER SPEED THAN ACTUAL. TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM MANUFACTURER TT-06-19 SAYS ITS BY DESIGN. PROBLEMS CAUSES CARS TO PASS CREATING SAFETY CONCERN. *JB

UNABLE TO DETERMINE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED. SPEEDOMETER OFF BY AT LEAST 5 MPH. FACTORY CONSIDERS THIS NORMAL. TRAFFIC FLOW MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCORDING TO SAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS AND WITHOUT ACCURATE INSTRUMENT DRIVER UNABLE TO MAKE A SAFE SPEED JUDGMENT. *JB
