| Description of the problem | When pulling out into traffic there can be a huge lag in time from when you depress the accelerator to when the car reacts and accelerates. It is not consistent which is where the danger arises. This started when vw "fixed" the emissions system. It is very dangerous when you have a smaller gap to get into in traffic. I was almost hit multiple times since vw retuned the car. I worry about my wife and kids getting hit by someone because of the lag/hesitation that is occurring. Vw should fix this issue. I am not the only one experiencing this. |
