I love my bug when it's running, it's fast and love driving it.. it gets up and goes... then all of a sudden, it dies when I turn a corner, waiting in a drive thru line that seems to take forever, backing out of a parking space... Sometimes before it dies, it sputters.. When it dies, it starts right back up again and it runs fine, sometimes it dies multiple times and can't wait to get the POS home..lol.. The dealership changed the ground battery cable and it seemed to fix it for a while, but it went back to acting up again soon after.. An abs sensor light (little yellow triangle) comes on when it happens sometimes, changed a sensor and still codes out.. The dealership has given up on the car and I am about to also :(
