“After vw emission repair the car stalls in shifting gears at low speed. I took at the dealership repair shop 3 times everytime the kept the car for about 2-3 weeks and couldn't resolve the issue. It appears like there is no fuel coming to the engine or the car computer do not allow the car to shift to the next gear until it hits 3000 RPM in speeds lower the 35mph. From what I understand with speaking with vw dealer advisors that this as a result of the emission repair and they can't fix it. …”
