| My fiancee and i purchased this beetle in november of 2010 and have had nothing but problems with it. it has been in the shop a number of time (5-7) and we have spent hundreds in trying to fix it. yet no luck. it is a danger to my fiancee and new born baby. on day it will run fine but then after driving for ten minutes the epc light come on and the brakes barely work if at all, and it wont speed up even if she has her foot to the floor. so now we have a $6000 dollar car that not even the vw dealership can fix. it sits on our road. i have seen so many complaints about people having the same problem and i believe its only a matter of time before some one gets seriously injured or even worse. please do something about this monstrosity that vw refuses to admit. | |||

| Consumer states that the vehicle will intermittenly lose power at a certain speed and stay there for about 30 seconds the consumer has tried to step on the gas pedal but the vehicle will still drive at the same speed. contacted dealer and the dealer is not willing to do anything.*jb *yh | |||

| The epc light comes on the dash. i was told this is due to a brake light switch that will go out. this causes cruise control to go out, brake lights to not work, and difficulty getting your gearshift out of park or neutral.*ak | |||
