Description of the problem	On sunday, june 30th, 2019, @ about 6pm, @51k i was driving 25mph and car jerked, then the rpms revved really high and car slowed down, and "prnds" letters started blinking. I slowed down even more and car was still going at higher than normal rpms. I was able to drive it very slowly through residential streets to my house. When i was going to park it in my spot, i had to put it in reverse, and when i did, it did not move in reverse! During all this the "prnds" lights kept on flashing. I had to turn it off, put it in neutral, and get pushed into my parking spot. When i tested to see if car would start, it started perfectly, no flashing light or anything, no delay or trouble to start it. The check engine light never turned on either. The day before, i did have an issue with getting the car started, it needed a jump start, and when the battery was tested for its voltage, it was running on the lower side. I had not driven it all day on friday, and the starting issues were on saturday. I was told by mechanic that i must have left a light on, but nothing was left on to drain the battery. Earlier on sunday, i needed to go on one outing and the car did give me trouble to start, with a delayed slow start, and it drove fine to my destination less than 4 miles away. When i left there, the car managed to start with that delay again, and when i was driving home is when the crazy jerking, rpm revving, and car slowing down happened about a mile away from my house. Needless to say, this was very scary, and i have read many other complaints about this exact same thing! I am too scared to drive my car! I had it towed to the vw dealer, and i am waiting to hear back from them. When i was signing in at the dealer, another lady was registering her car for the same exact complaint and her car was the same exact car!!! Vw needs to address this very dangerous and scary problem and fix it!!!!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
