Acceleration problems
Asked by Connor Apr 08, 2018 at 05:23 PM about the 2002 Volkswagen Jetta GL
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
When I attempt to accelerate my car past 45 miles
an hour I put my foot down on the gas pedal and
the car sputters for a little bit and then accelerates.
Sometimes the car will sputter for a little bit and
then won't accelerate over 45 miles an hour. Also
sometimes the car hesitates a little bit and doesn't
completely turn over when it starts. Does anybody
know what's wrong with my car?

I also have a 2015 jetta s has a same problem because it has only 115 hp and 125 torque.Most professional don't recommend this car due to poor acceleration especiallly passing a higher horse power car and it non turbo.
