2024 Volkswagen Taos

Truck stutters when accelerating, as if it is going to cut off. There were 2 warning signs illuminated on the dashboard. According to the service center it was the road sign display that was malfunctioning. About 3 days later, the service tech said it could be the front camera or sensor. A week after that, it was believed to be a software issue. Almost a month later, there is still not an answer to what has caused the warning lights to come on. Still no word on the stuttering while accelerating.
