Passat 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Throttle lag. When turning into traffic, sometimes the car lurches forward instead of easing forward. The throttle should be adjusted so that softly pressing the pedal moves the car instead of having to press the pedal hard (which leads to the dangerous lurching).
