| Description of the problem | The car is having issues accelerating after a cold/hard stop. At stop signs, after stop lights, the car jerks and has a hard time gaining power. On the high way i have issues accelerating. This has become dangerous and scary, i am not in control of he acceleration of my vehicle. I have taken it to the vw dealer one tech said "try premium gas" the next tech says, "nothing is wrong with your car". I am extremely disappointed and ready to change brands after 10 years of being avw owner. This problem is putting my life in danger every day that i drive it. |
