I have a Jetta A 4 2002 and, when driving, it suddenly jerks, EPC and oil indicators turn on and it loses power until it stalls. I try to speed it up but it won't answer properly. Only after 20-30 minutes the engine will start again. The car has been tuned, the battery, oil pump and air sensor changed but it keeps doing the same thing. Can anyone help me? It really worries me when I'm driving and it suddenly stalls.

Under heavy acceleration, when the RPM reaches 5,000, the car loses power and goes into limp mode. The EPC and Traction Control lights turn on. When this happens, the transmission stops shifting and jerks or stutters a few times. Note: The car originally had a 1.6L engine, but it has been swapped with a 2.0L engine. However, the original 1.6L ECU (Computer) and wiring harness have not been changed. "

For the last 5 years the EPC light on my jetta will randomly come on. At first it would happen most when it got hotter outside, but if I turned the car off the light would turn off. I have taken it to 4 different mechanics including the dealership. They run the test and tell me what codes come up and what they mean. They fix what they say is the problem, but 3-4 months later the light would come back on. So now 5 years later it's to the point that if it's really hot outside my car will jerk and will cut off if I'm stopped. If my foot is on the gas when this happens the EPC light will come on along with the traction light and tire pressure light. Can anyone tell me what needs to be fix because none of the shop have figure it out.

You turn the car over and it idles really high then low repeatedly

Car starts normally. During driving when I stop at roundabout and start drive again there is little jerk sometimes. Tell me what to do

I have a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta 1.4 TSI with an 8-speed automatic transmission. I have been experiencing a jerking/bumping issue when shifting gears. The main symptoms are: 1. A noticeable jerk when shifting from N to D. 2. A jerk when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. 3. A jerk when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. 4. A jerk when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd gear. 5. Sometimes there is also a jerk when downshifting from 4th gear. 6. The problem has been present for about one year. 7. The transmission fluid has been changed several times, but the problem is still present. 8. Different mechanics ha… Read complete

My car is a 2.0 tdi, manual transmission. When i shift into 3rd gear, get to 1800 rpm the engine starts to jerk/hesitate. Dealer says its normal for my type of car. I call BS!!

When i accelerate the whole car jerks, and I am not sure of the problem, it doesnt do it when i get up to 40+

The mass airflow dies after 20 minutes of replacement. It dies and stop working and the car loses power, until I kill the engine and start it again and it gains power again, then after 3 minutes drive it loses power again

Check engine light flashing, when accelerating it hesitates, uses more fuel. I recently put a new radiator fan on and now it keeps throwing this code P2185

My Jetta 3 CLI 2.0 it revs up and down between 10 and 20 and over revs when changing gears. I have changed, idle valve, distributor, Coil pack, clutch kit, cleaned throttle body, changed oil, but the idling is not stable

My car is a push to start. When it starts it is very loud and I am consistently putting oil in my car every 2 weeks. It shakes when accelerating especially when going 40-60 mph and I can’t really accelerate much past 65. It also shakes when going up hill and the RPM will run high

The car can lose power easily because of this wires who are not connected properly to the 4 pin sensor

Vehicle jerks when I slows down like someone rear ended me and jerks when I pull off. Didn't start doing this until I changed the transmission pan and filter.

Whilst driving my 2009 1.9 TDi Jetta suddenly lost power and then died. It starts but dies almost immediately. There is smoke coming from behind the turbo. There is no exhaust gasses coming out of the back at the exhaust. If I disconnect the airflow hose to the intercooler the engine runs.
If i disconnect the air to the intercooler the engine still runs.
Whilst doing either one of the above and i disconnect the air intake from the air filter their is exhaust smoke coming from out ( so it is blowing air instead of sucking.
