Anytime you are at an intersection and need to accelerate quickly or on a slight incline, the car just hangs before picking up, more than normal, I may as well just give it slight accelerator pressure, that would be better, can be dangerous sometimes, dealers have had it 3 times and have found no issues.
I was given a technical service bulletin regarding this, and I believe it may fix this issue, its a firmware update to the computer and applies to all 2012-2013 Jetta, Golf, Beetle, Passat and Wagons. issues Jan. 2014 from Alldatapro.com.
I am taking it again with this info to the local dealer and see if they will update the computer before mine hits 60K miles. other than that, this car has been a good vehicle.
