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.
