| I bought my 2003 vw beetle a few months ago from a private seller. in the past week, the shifting has gotten really difficult and it very often will not accelerate easily. my husband drove the car and reported having no problems, so he didn't believe me. yesterday, i was driving on the highway and couldn't get the car to accelerate past 50 mph. it was especially scary when i tried to cross the highway and the car didn't want to accelerate at all. that could have been a horrible accident. after crossing the highway, i was unable to accelerate past 20 mph. i parked the car at a relatives home and had her drive me home as i was afraid to drive the car again. i started doing research and was blown away by the number of people facing the same problems. this is a dangerous situation that needs to be resolved. *tr | |||
