Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2006 volkswagen passat 3.6l hesitated from a slow rolling. when slowing but not stopping the car completely, the car hesitated when the throttle was applied. when throttle input was realized the car may lurched forward unexpectedly. this appeared to be a combination engine / transmission issue, but may be more related to the transmission not being in the correct gear. volkswagen issued a programming update for the ecu in october 2006 , which reduced, but did not eliminate the problem. the incident date really did not n apply as this was a constant problem. *ak
