Consumer Description

CAR STARTED HESITATING DURING ACCELERATION AND STALLED A COUPLE OF TIMES UPON STOPPING. EPC LIGHT FLASHED ON BRIEFLY ONCE, THEN NOT AGAIN. TODAY, THE CAR STARTED DECELERATING ON THE FREEWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THEN RAPIDLY ACCELERATED AGAIN, WHICH SEEMED LIKE AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. MECHANIC REPLACED THE AIR FLOW METER AND TOLD ME THAT HE REGULARLY REPLACES THEM ON VOLKSWAGENS AND IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. I READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME BEHAVIOR ON THIS SITE, THOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED. IF THIS IS A PART WITH KNOWN PROBLEMS, WHY HAS VOLKSWAGEN NOT RECALLED IT?*AK
