Consumer Description

ISSUES WITH HESITATION WHEN A ROLLING STOP, AND WHEN COMPLETELY STOPPED. THERE IS A 2-3 SECOND DELAY BEFORE THE CAR RESPONDS TO THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT 3 TIMES NOW WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THAT 2-3 DELAY IN ACCELERATION COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS AN ISSUE KNOWN TO VW, THEY SAY THEY ARE WORKIG ON A FIX. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR, SOMEONE TO GET KILLED! NUMEROUS V6 OWNERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUES! ALSO SEOND ISSUE IS, WHEN I AM STOPPED IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND EXTREME HEAT MY CAR IDLES AT 1000RPMS. THIS IS CORRECTED BY ME PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, STEPPING ON THE GAS TILL 3000 RPM AND IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IN READY TO LUNGE FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. AGAIN WELL KNOWN ISSUE TO VW, SEVERAL INTERNET FORUMS DISCUSS THIS VW HAS DON'T NOTHING. *TR
