WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF BRAKE AND IMMEDIATELY STEPPING HARD ON THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS A SEVERE HESITATION/LAG BEFORE THE CAR TOOK OFF CROSSING TRAFFIC. ONCE IT KICKED IN IT TOOK OFF BUT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I NOW WAIT A SECOND OR MORE FOR THE BRAKE SWITCH TO COMMUNICATE TO THE DSG TRANSMISSION TO TELL THE CLUTCH TO ENGAGE. VW MUST FIX THIS AS I COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN IN A COLLISION. THIS WAS MUCH MORE THAN TYPICAL TURBO LAG WHICH IS COMMON WITH DIESELS. THIS WOULD OCCUR REGULARLY IF I DIDN'T ADJUST MY DRIVING TO ACCOUNT FOR THE LAG. *TR
