My JVC VP710U stopped rewinding years ago. I use it as the player when copying tapes.
I hardly ever use it at this point but it has so many bells and whistles compared to getting a new cheapie.
Now it eats the tapes.
Tape doesn't want to come out when you hit eject. Tape is stuck inside.

The rewind motor or mechanism is used when ejecting to pull the tape back into the cassette. You said it didn't rewind before it started to eat tapes. That could be due to a bad motor or belt that finally failed altogether.
Try fast-forwarding the tape to the end and hitting stop/eject before it goes into auto-rewind. Pop it out and stick it in the other deck to rewind.
Best bet, though, is to capture it to a computer, make a DVD, and toss the tape.

Much easier to get a DVD recorder, many come with vhs tape drives!!!!!!
