Description of the problem	From a stop, and at low speed, the vehicle hesitates very badly. At times, with the gas pedal to the floor, the car does not accelerate for 2-3 seconds or more--it just coasts. In other situations, the transmission does not engage at all, and the engine revs to high rpm. This has led to near accidents on multiple occasions: when crossing traffic to make a left-hand turn, merging into traffic after making a right-hand turn, or attempting to get to speed entering a freeway. Further, this is not how the vehicle behaved on the test-drive. If it had, i would never have purchased it. To date, the vehicle has spent more that 3 weeks in the service department of the local vw dealership. After this period of service, the vehicle was returned to me, and i was told that vw had determined that this is a "feature of the vehicle", and that nothing more would be done to address the problem. This is a safety hazard, and a bait-and-switch.

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.
