: the contact stated that the vehicle stalled completely while driving at 5 mph, and the starter motor would not engage when the key was turned to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer where the dealer was unable to determine the problem.
When pulling out into traffic from a stop vehicle intermitently hesitates for a few seconds. It seems as though the engine is not responding to the electronic throttle or the transmission is slipping. This is a dangerous problem when pulling inot traffic from a side street or making aleft turn into oncoming traffic. I was almost rea-ended the other day. I also feel that if I make a left turn into ongoing traffic with a normal margin of safety, the vehicle could hestitate and I could be hit head-on or broadsided. It is a dangerous problem. I have returned the vehicle to the dealer twice. The first time they said they loaded in new ecu firmware and new tcu firmware. It didn't fix the problem. I returned the vehicle to the same dealer and they indicated that the volkswagon factory engineers are working on a new firmware release and should have it out the first part of December 2004. They said they would call me to install the new firmware when available.
When trying to accelerate on occasion the car will stall and the accelerator will not produce any action. I was in an intersection trying to merge into traffic and got into the intersection and tried to accelerate and could not. Very scary. The car has done it repeatedly under less threatening circumstances.
While driving at highway speeds vehicle stalled, forcing the consumer to pull off the road. Consumer took the vehicle to the dealership to be inspected, and mechanic could not duplicate the problem.
