Description of the problem	After driving at approx. 70- 80 mph on highway for over 1 hour and stopping would feel off after coming to an a complete stop from traffic or exiting the freeway, and then the car had trouble revving up - couldn't accelerate and difficult to drive as it would be hard to get up to even 30 mph - seemed to go into a false neutral. First few times it would return to normal if i turned off the engine for 15 minutes. The last time it happened, it happened twice in one day and would only go back to normal if engine was off for a couple of hours. Happened about a couple of handful of times in the course of a couple of years - each time was frightening and almost got into bad accidents. First time it happened i was at about 40,000 miles. Last time it happened, i was at about 76,000 miles. Dealership was unable to replicate the issue or find any apparent problems when servicing the vehicle. Not a turbo vehicle so they told me not dsg or mechatronic issues. Basically, drive at your own risk.
