| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: When accelerating from a very slow speed or a "rolling" stop, the car hesitates or stalls before accelerating, then lurches forward. this problem occurs randomly, but consistently. when driving up a hill to a stop, the vehicle regularly jumps forward at the last downshift in the stopping process. this is dangerous and threatens my safety, those around me in traffic, my passengers, and other potential drivers of my vehicle. i've been told by volkswagen of america & my dealer that this is the way this suv is designed to perform. the fact that the "hesitations/stalls" occur at random only furthers my point that this is clearly a defect and not "just the way this model drives" and "you just have to get used to it" as i was told by the service manager at martens vw.*ak |
