| I have a 2007 volkswagen beetle convertible. when slowing down, not to a complete stop, and i try to accelerate and go again, the car totally stalls (stops). this happens even when making turns- you can press on the accelerator and nothing happens and then in a couple of minutes it races forward. i called the local service department to be told it was a bypass wire problem, that nothing could be done, they all did that and volkswagen was aware of the situation. there are so many times this has happened that i was almost in an accident because of the car stalling. it happens everytime, i slow down, but do not completely stop. to me there should be some kind of recall, that is extremely dangerous. i am surprised there have not been numerous accidents of deaths because of this. even when you are sitting there pumping the gas peddle, it just sits there, and then flies off in a hurry. *tr | |||
