Consumer Description

THE ENGINE STARTS TO STALL WHEN YOU ACCELERATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. EVERY TIME TAKEN TO THE DEALER, HE SAYS THE AIR FILTER IS SOAKED W/WATER. HE HAS NO EXPLAINATION. FINALLY ADMITTED THAT THERE ARE "SEVERAL" CARS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY W/THIS PROBLEM. HIS LAST SOLUTION (FROM VW) WAS TO REMOVE THE SNOW GRILL (WHICH MAKES NO SENSE & DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM). IT IS TERRIFYING TO TRY & PASS A CAR ON A 2 LANE ROAD OR IN THE MIDDLE OF A 5 LANE EXPRESSWAY & HAVE YOUR CAR START TO STALL . THE AIRBAG DEFAULT LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON TWICE. PLEASE HELP. *AK
