This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When I put the car into drive it doesn't always accelerate as soon as I hit the gas pedal. I never know when it's going to happen and it's very nerve racking. It's most difficult in a parking lot.
Car intermittently fails to respond to the accelerator pedal - acceleration is delayed for several seconds - possibly by computer. I have had many close calls when pulling into traffic- car accelerates only when it is ready. I have requested repair every time the car is in for service. They say that they reset something and problem temporarily goes away. VW doesn't seem acknowledge this as a safety issue/concern. They didn't put the request in my last maintenance/computer write-up. I also head another customer, while at the dealer, ask about the same problem. VW should address this problem.
