Consumer Description

VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR ON OCASSIONS, NO RESPONSE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FRON STOP. HAVE COMPLAINED TO VW DEALER @ 5,000,10,000, & 15,000 MILES. THEY SAY THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A DANGERIOUS SITUATION AS IT STALLS, THEN ACCELERATES VERY FAST . I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AS THERE IS NO SET PATTERN. I FEEL LIKE THE DEALER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE AS THEY SAY IT MIGHT GET WORSE THEN THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE SCANNER,AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON.
