Jetta Wolfsburg Edition 2.5L

• Manual transmission
• 9,500 miles

2007 VW Jetta 2.5L Wolfsburg Edition (I didn't know the "L" stood for Lemon)

FIVE trips to dealer service for the same engine problem spanning 9500-10200 miles between Jan. 2008 and March 2008 (continues today, resolution not reached yet):

1) 1/9/08: 9,500 miles - All of a sudden, then consistent massive loss of power exactly at 3000 RPM. No throttle response, gas pedal to the floor, no response. Followed by solid yellow check engine light (CEL) and continued loss of power right at 3000 RPM.
- Dealer gets me in and out in 1 hour. Finds knock sensor fault code. Cleans knock sensor(s), clears CEL.

2) 1/22/08: 9600 miles - While entering freeway same issue as in #1 (almost hit by an 18-wheeler). I achieved zero to 55 in about 40 seconds.
- Dealer keeps car one full day. Finds knock sensor(s) fault code. Cleans, retorqued and replaced existing knock sensor(s), clears CEL.

3) 1/28/08: 9700 miles - Same CEL issue, loss of power, no throttle response at 3000 RPM. It is like car keeps going into "limp mode" otherwise performs normally from 0-2900 RPM, but engine will not rev over 3000 RPM.
- Dealer keeps car 3 days. Calls VW Tech Line because the tell me now "it is a warranty issue". Finds knock sensor(s) fault code. Replaced with new knock sensor(s), clears CEL.

4) 2/4/08: 9800 miles - Same CEL, loss of power, no throttle response at 3000 RPM.
- Dealer keeps car for 3 days. Calls VW Tech Line. Finds knock sensor(s) fault code. Replaced knock sensor(s) AGAIN, clears CEL.

5) 3/20/08: 10200 miles - SAME ISSUE. CAR TOWED BY VW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE because I almost got into ANOTHER car accident. I'm done putting my life in danger!
- Dealer still has car (as of today 3/31/08). Tells me VW Tech Line options are exhausted. They cannot duplicate the origin of the fault, therefore they don't know why it keeps happening. Tell me a VW corporate "regional technician" is coming to town to look at the engine approx 3/31/08 (which is today, but I didn't hear anything).

I will add more detail as I live it. I'm also contacting an attorney this week. This is insanity. Car has been in service a total of 20 days already for the same issue.
