I just bought my jetta a week ago and as i driving i'm noticing the car takes at least a good 5 seconds to accelerate and when it does accelerate it takes off also when i hit the brakes they don't work i don't believe a car with 34,000 miles should be having these unsafe problems i'm almost scared to drive the car

Jetta engine quit running with no notice in busy highway. Car had to be towed to dealer. Car was not repaired for three weeks. They cited lack of fuel system management computer module. It would take 5-7 business days to get. Fuel computer module and fuel pump were replaced. Have no confidence in car safety. Vw will not replace per my request. My wife is fearful of driving car since she was traumatized.
