	Vehicle does not respond to accelerator on ocassions, no response when trying to accelerate fron stop. have complained to vw dealer @ 5,000,10,000, & 15,000 miles. they say they cannot find the problem. this is a dangerious situation as it stalls, then accelerates very fast . i never know when it will happen as there is no set pattern. i feel like the dealer is not responsible as they say it might get worse then they can find the problem. it does not show up on the scanner,and the check engine light does not come on.

	The engine loss power not only when you stop but when running too. it happens in a intermitent time. if you need more power in a specific time and push for more gasoline the engine goes down for a period of 4 to 6 seconds. it has a noise in the rear like when the exhaust pipe are loose. all this issues had been reported at the service department at euroclass volkswagen dealer in puerto rico and they dont finf anithing. regarding the noise in the rear they changed a few parts of the suspension and sock adsorvers but the noise is there. *tr
