The car randomly does not accelerate at low speeds when changing lanes in traffic, has a screeching noise upon acceleration that vw says is a normal loud noise because its too expensive to repair all the vehicles (that's the exact words from the vw mechanic). I have a video that shows the problem with exceleareation yet vw tells me they're nothing wrong with the car. The sway bars have been replaced two times in 6 months and the problem still isn't repaired. The auto collision randomly works.

Transmission/motor is making a whispping sound when you accelorate on the gas. Have reported multiple times and I am not the only one who has experienced this. It is a terrible sound. Car is less than 20,000 miles.
