The manufacturer informed the contact that the computer interlock between the accelerator and brake pedals were federally mandated. My Roadmaster experience so far has been exceptional and I'm very thankful for the extra effort Peter and his mechanic have put into this vehicle. The contact stated she was driving at speeds of 78 mph with the cruise control activated. I am concerned that my car and others may engage the cruise without warning and cause an accident. Since the cruise control is tied into the brake system, if it reads that the brakes are on, it will not engage. Finally, in a panic, I turned off the engine with the key, and put my blinkers on while I recovered from the shock of what had just happened.
It recovered back to normal responsiveness after hard braking for at least five seconds in the first incident and about three second in the second. She was driving at highway speed and the pedal just started pulling down. When your cruise control system is on the verge of failing, it starts to give you problems. The problem occurred intermittenly between the first occurrance and the service appointment. If some of the buttons work, but others do not, it is probably a bad switch. It has happened at speeds of 35, 45, 55 and 65 my normal commute route.
I just got in a good looking Volkswagen Jetta S. Jul 18, 2012 Brake light switch is what I'd look at. After keeping my car 2 weeks, they still couldn't come up with a plausible explanation for why this happened. We couldn't park the car in a garage and risk the gases getting into the home so we left it in front the house and had to stay up all night and watch it so no one would steal it. Ask them what relay, and post it here.
The overall build quality is impressive and the Jetta is a good value for the money. So the car continued running in front of my house from 6:45pm to 7:30am when the dealership opened. It seems to be rare when somebody actually posts that a fix was done and how it took place. They are available for the following Volkswagen Jetta years: 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 90, 89, 88, 87, 86, 85, 84, 83, 82. My wife was driving the vehicle with my son in the car and she said she is positive did not press any button on the cruise.
This vehicle has to be manufactured with a radio. The slightly firmer and lower Sport-package suspension is a bit more harsh and finds the bump stops more readily than the base setup, but it does offer slightly quicker responses and more roll resistance. I have listed the three components separately on the complaint list. Some systems will not operate over 90 m. Then lets see if it makes sense.
A diagnostic would not produce any failure codes and there were no repairs made to the vehicle. This behavior can be easily replicated and demonstrated, though it does not occur every time. If the vehicle was manufactured without a Factory radio, there is no option for cruise control. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, who advised that the cruise control switch and steering column computer chip needed to be replaced. The gentlemen who helped me was patient, courteous, and took all the time necessary to cover any questions or concerns. The Jetta S gets a more powerful engine, cruise control, a front center armrest and storage compartment, a rear seat center armrest, a trunk pass-through and premium upholstery. This can be observed by looking at the display which shows the speed at which the cruise control is set, as well as the acceleration of the car.
I immediately contacted the auto repair shop that I use and setup an appointment for service three days later. It is a laser-based system that has a front mounted laser that continuously monitors and reads the distance in front of the vehicle in order to determine whether the speed needs to be adjusted. And without warning, the car started accelerating on its own. Thank you-Kyle Berteau My last 3 cars have been purchased from Roadmaster Auto Sales. Shops often do this to girls.
System worked great once installed. The optional six-speed automatic is eager to shift into the upper gears in the interest of fuel economy, but it downshifts without hesitation. Example: cruise is set at 55 mph. If you pull out your headlight switch you will see two square boxes, a black box, for the alarm, and a silver box for the cruise control replcae it by removing the cover under the steering wheel and unplugging the silver cruise control computer Feb 25, 2009. I had some concerns about the vehicle, and he was very honest with me and helped me find any additional information we could find.
At the bottom of the lineup is the Jetta S. Our dealership wanted us to bring it in to have it fixed. The service dealer and manufacturer were not alerted. When it fails, it will produce an engine trouble code. Hey, Look At the Pretty, Shiny Metal! If you have no brake lights, you may have a switch problem. There is no light on the dash, doesnt even show when you first turn on car.
