ON AUGUST 10, 2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 1:30 PM IN BOUNTIFUL UTAH, I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A BUSINESS. I STOPPED ON A STEEP HILL AND ALLOWED THE ON COMING TRAFFIC TO PASS. IT THEN BECAME SAFE FOR ME TO COMPLETE MY TURN. THAT IS UNTIL THE CAR HESITATED YET AGAIN. THIS HESITATION PROBLEM IS SEVERE POST REPAIR OF VW DUE TO EMISSIONS RECALL. FORTUNATELY THE ONCOMING DRIVER SLOWED DOWN ALLOWING ME TO ENTER THE BUSINESS; HOWEVER, THIS HESITATION IS BEYOND DANGEROUS. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THE REGIONAL OFFICE BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL!

VW 3.0 LITER DEISEL ENGINE WITH RECALL ISSUE DUE TO FRAUD BY VW. VW APPLIED THE FIX TO THE ENGINE AS APPROVED BY THE COURT. THIS FIX HAS CREATED A SITUATION WHERE THE CAR HAS SIGNIFICANT HESITATION ON TAKE OFF AND IN TRAFFIC MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SAFELY ENTER THE STREAM OF TRAFFIC OR CROSS TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS. THIS IS A REPETITIVE SITUATION OCCURRING BOTH AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND AT INTERCITY SPEEDS. VW ACKNOWLEDGES THE SITUATION BUT REFUSES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGAN IMMEDIATELY AFTER RECALL COMPLETION TO MAKE VEHICLE COMPLIANT WITH FEDERAL LAW. CAR WAS RETURNED WITHIN THE WEEK TO VW AND HAS BEEN RETURNED ADDITIONAL TIMES TO RESOLVE ISSUE. VW SERVICE REPORTS NO WAY TO SOLVE THE ISSUE.

WHEN TURNING ON THE AIR CONDITIONING OF THE CAR IT COMES A VERY STRONG SMELL OF ENGINE FUMES IN THE CABIN. IT DOES GIVE US HEADACHE EVERY TIME WE BREATH IT IN. I DO HAVE A SMALL CHILD IN THE CAR SO THAT MAKES IT WORSE. EVERY TIME I GIVE IT FOR INSPECTION IN THE VW DEALERSHIP THEY REFUSE TO SMELL IT AND DENY THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM.
