Description of the problem	I was turning left at a fairly busy intersection & had waited for 2 cars to go that were in front of me. When my turn came & a gap appeared in incoming traffic, i removed my left foot from the brake, depressed the accelerator with my right foot & turned. However, the car did not accelerate. It moved into the lane of oncoming traffic, but just idled & i could not get the car to move for 2 - 3 seconds. I pushed the throttle all the way to the floor with no effect. A serious accident did not occur only because the oncoming traffic slammed on their brakes in time. After what seemed like forever, the car began to move & i was able to get out of the way. The same thing has happened 19 times since & the car has been returned to the dealer 4 times to fix this problem. Each time they 'could not duplicate' the problem. Niether could i until 3 days ago when i was told by a vw rep that this behavior is designed in as a 'safety feature'. He said it occurs when a driver depresses the throttle slightly, then (using left foot) the brake slightly, then the throttle some more, then the car will not accelerate for 2-3 seconds. What that contributes to safety is beyond me. It's a serious defect that will cost someone their life & must be changed as soon as possible.
