I HAVE A 2007 PASSAT 2.0 TURBO. I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR STALLING. IT HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AND THEN GO TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR CUTS OFF BUT DOESNT. IT HAS HESITATION AND SOMETIMES THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND DOESNT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE VW DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND OF COURSE IT DOESNT HAPPEN WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. I NEED SOME HELP PLEASE, ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY. I AM SCARED I WILL PULL OUT AND TRY TO ACCELERATE AND GET IN A ACCIDENT. THANKS EMAIL ANY SOLUTIONS TO JLB1422@COX.NET

Get the throttle position/vehicle speed sensor/MAP/MAF sensor checked and to inlude the fuel pressure then comeback with the results to continue.
