Jetta flawed acceleration

2023 Jetta with manual transmission - ECU programming gives exaggerated acceleration delay to response from pedal input. During normal driving, after depressing the pedal and expecting the vehicle to accelerate accordingly, there is a delay of about two seconds before the vehicle suddenly and rapidly begins to accelerate. This presents two related safety concerns : The vehicle will not accelerate when needed to avoid an accident - the vehicle accelerates too rapidly after the delay, which has the potential to cause an accident if the vehicle cannot be slowed in time. Additionally, this repeated sudden and rapid acceleration and deceleration is likely to cause premature engine and drivetrain component wear/failure, as well as decrease fuel efficiency. Volkswagen told me the vehicle operates as intended. I'll pursue aftermarket ECU tuning software to correct this problem - which will cost several hundred dollars - and if that endeavor fails, I'll trade the Jetta for another Toyota. Either way, because of Volkswagen's response to my concern, this was the first and last Volkswagen I'll ever purchase.
I LOVE this car!!!

I shopped for months for a new car. My top priorities were safety, gas mileage and reliability. Hit the jackpot on all 3 with my new Jetta! I've had 2 VWs before and I've always loved them. I was picking between a K5 and the Jetta. I loved the technology with the K5 but when I opened the door on the Jetta I could tell the difference immediately in quality. The doors were heavier on Jetta and just overall a better made car. Great warranty, love how it handles, sunroof, heated seats, it's a great car! Only thing I would wish for is wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay.

Previous Mercedes benz owner, my first volkswagen jetta. Very good gas mileage and is pretty fast car. 90 + on highway smoth drive, in city drive is even better. Inside is roomy with enough trunk space, touch screen unit and digital display are easy to navigate and fancy looking. I have base model so it comes with standard safety features blind spot, collision and backup camera. I wish they put leather heated seats and sunroof in base model.

We bought 2 brand new 2023 Jettas. Both of them have mechanical/electrical issues that the dealership could not fix. I don't recommend buying any VW model because besides the horrible poor quality they now have you will also be dealing with bad customer service. So Hondas and Toyotas are the best for sure when it comes to quality and service.
