My son was getting on the interstate pushing on the accelerator and the car was slowing. It slowed down to 20 mph, he turned on his caution lights while cars backed up behind him on a busy Birmingham onramp. Thankfully he had the knowledge to turn on his flashes so nobody hit him. He was able to get the car up to 40 mph and get off at the next exit. He was able to limp his car into a friend's driveway. I will be calling the local Volkswagen dealership tomorrow morning. Scary!!
