| Frequent near stalls of my 2007 rabbit 2.5 automatic. this is my 2nd report to you and advised by the orlando sentiinel reporter steven smith. the car's rpm drops about 1000 rpm on normal acceleration for about 4-6 seconds, never shutting off but just sitting there. this has occurred since taking the lease car in 08, but the dealership refuses to acknowledge the defect. numerour similar complaints have been filed with edmunds and no action has been taken. this is a very dangerous condition if turning in front of an oncoming line of traffic, and i want it fixed, but also acknowledged by vw. an orlando vw technician told me it also happened in one of their new c model deluxe vws a month ago. this drop off of power happens almost every time the car is driven. i will adivse the orlando sentinel's reporter i have contacted you again. thank you. | |||
