Description of the problem	There is an unsafe prolonged hesitation when depressing the accelerator pedal on the 2007 volkswagen passat 3. 6 liter 4 motion. When depressing the accelerator pedal, nothing happens until you've depressed the pedal approximately 3/4 to an inch of pedal travel, then all of a sudden, the car lurches and accelerates at what feels like half to full throttle. It is a random hesitation, yet occurs at probably 30% of the time. It is most noticeable when starting from a stop, yet will happen on the highway, if accelerating to pass. This is a very dangerous malfunction. If this abrupt acceleration occurs in snowy or icy conditions, it could cause a loss of control. I have experienced several times, when i expected my car to move forward when i depressed the gas pedal, only to have it hesitate and nearly cause an accident. This car has a drive by wire accelerator, which i believe is a fairly recent design change. We have another car with the same type of system which does not do this. nm ak
