I bought my car certified preowned from a vw dealership in june with 20,000 miles. Within a month of purchase, accessory lights began illuminating randomly and then switching back off. It is always the same set of lights- ABS, tire pressure, airbag, traction/anti-skid, and steering wheel light all come on at the same time. Now they come on every time I drive and never turn off. I don't notice a difference in the driving, but the lights are worrisome. I also have another issue where occasionally when I accelerate the car fails to "pick up" or accelerate for like 5 seconds, and then it catches and the car continues to run smoothly from then on... But I'm unsure if they're related.

My vehicle has started to hesitate when I try to accelerate randomly. It doesn't happen every time I drive but it happens multiple times per week. I will press my gas, and my car will hesitate, I hear it revving but my rpms go nowhere. It's almost like it's not catching. This will occur for around 5 seconds, leaving me incapable of moving. It has left me stuck in the middle of intersections, taking unsafe turns out of parking lots, etc. It is a very scary issue. However, no check engine or other lights illuminate at that moment, and no codes are found when the car is scanned. I have a sprint drive device that is constantly plugged in to the oem port and it has never picked up on an issue which makes diagnosis very difficult. This leaves me in serious fear of driving my car that I just purchased certified used 3 months ago, with less than 30,000 miles on it. I also have another issue where the same set of lights come on every time I drive- ABS, tire pressure, airbag, traction/anti-skid, and steering wheel light all come on at the same time... But not sure if they're related because they don't initiate simultaneously with the delay in acceleration.

When the car gets started I have airbag light, power steering light, tire, pressure light, ABS light, and traction control light all on. The lights stay on. But the car drives okay. The lights do not go off. For a while they would turn off after a few mins. Now they stay on while driving.
