| Description of the problem | The vehicle has heavy hesitattion on the highway and within city limits. It is as iff the car will stop. I took the car to the certified vw dealership due to the engine light being on. It was found that there are metal pieces from the engine or spark plug in the oil and has messed the engine up. With regular oil changes, how would these pieces of metal be in the engine. I performed some research and saw that a lot of others have had the same issues. This should be something that should be reviewed and looked into further by the nhtsa. |
