2001 Audi TT Acceleration problems

"Takata recall" intermittently has no power the rpm rev high with no power in accelerator this has happened on and off the highway and while merging into traffic the car becomes powerless. There have been no stalling just all of a sudden has no power and the rpm's rev high but you're going nowhere. It's not sputtering just becomes powerless there is no specific gear

This is an intermittent problem that happens when the car is driven for at least 15 minutes and is brought to a full stop. When the gas pedal is depressed, the engine remains at idle from between 1 to 3 seconds and the car does not move. During this time frame, the foot remains depressing the gas pedal and not on the brake pedal. Once the engine rpms do increase, the car will accelerate hard (jump). Several instances have occurred were the car jumped into a busy intersection, nearly causing an accident each...

This model car is widely recognized to exhibit unpredictable acceleration when equiped with the automatic transmission.(See allroad forum on audiworld.Com) when accelerating from a stop or from an almost stop the car sometimes pauses for up to 2 seconds and at other times accelerates quickly. In my experience this is an extremely dangerous behavior. Some of the car magazines actually do not recommend purchase of this car due to this characteristic. Audi does not acknowledge the problem.
