Description of the problem	During driving conditions the vehicle stalls then speeds up almost causing a crash into the car ahead of me. Sometimes when braking, the vehicle surges while my foot is on the brake. The vw dealer diagnosed it as corrosion of the control module within the gearbox. This was the exact problem the car was recalled for under vw recall number 34f6/4v in november 2013. The car was brought in in dec. 2013 per the recall to change the gearbox oil but only had a 12 month warranty. Now, the corrosion caused the same problem that the recall tried to prevent. The recall did not correct the problem. The cost to fix is $8500! Since it outside the warranty period, vw will not pay. This is a clear safety issue that vw needs to correct. The recall fix of changing the type of gearbox oil did not stop the corrosion which damaged the control module.
