I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT MY FUEL PUMP WAS BEING RECALLED FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE FOR THE DEALERSHIPS TO REPAIR. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR NOT GOING WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOES FROM 5 MPH-55 MPH WITHOUT ME INITIATING IT. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO TRANSPORT MY PRECIOUS CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND WORK EVERYDAY IN THIS DEFECTED VEHICLE.
