Description of the problem	Submittal to volkswagen of america 04/08/2014 4:03am i would like this email to be the beginning of documentation of a serious issue i'm experiencing with the new vw gti i purchased only two weeks ago. Said issue involves occasional zero throttle response, which has happened on four separate occasions since delivery. For your reference, this model gti is equipped with an automatic transmission. My complaint: occasionally at very slow speeds (approximately 10 to 20mph) when depressing the accelerator pedal (even to the floor) the vehicle will not respond for three full seconds, in other words, the engine speed indicator (tachometer) shows the engine sitting at idle speed for the entire three seconds. This unwanted characteristic has put me in a dangerous situation more than once out of four episodes i've experienced thus far. I'd like to point out something which may interest the volkswagen research and development team, and that is, this exact issue was experienced, documented and repaired in my 2010 volvo c-30 r-design automobile which i still own today. I mention this because i wonder if there's some common electronics, software, or other engine management techniques being used in these different manufacturers designs. To whom it may concern, i am retired electrical engineering laboratories director/supervisor at the university of texas at austin. I've had many years experience building custom show winning automobiles and nascar class engines and i will be happy to assist volkswagen in any way to help get this issue fully resolved. Lastly and needless to say, this issue is a serious safety concern which neither vw nor i would want to see complicated in a resulting automobile accident, injury, or worse. Sincerely, [xxx]

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.
