Consumer Description

WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THEN PLACING THE CAR INTO DRIVE. AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO PULL AWAY, THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL OUT. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO DEALER FOR SCAN AND NO CODES FOUND. CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE AND NO CODES AGAIN. LAST INCIDENCE WAS LAST WEEK AND AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR SPUTTERED SO I LEFT OFF THE GAS. UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AGAIN, CAR SHUT OFF AND THE BATTERY LIGHT ON THE CAR CAME ON. PLACED CAR IN PARK AND IT STARTED WITH NO INCIDENT FROM THERE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN NO CODES SO THEY WILL NOT REPAIR. I AM SCARED THIS CAR WILL SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC LEAVING ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. STILL WAITING ON A DECISION FROM VWOA REGARDING THE SAFETY AND DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR. *TR
