The contact owned a 2009 Volkswagen Tiguan. The contact stated that while at a complete stop with the brake pedal depressed, the vehicle erroneously accelerated. The contact also mentioned that the failure occurred while reversing. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The failure mileage was not available. . . Updated 03/18/14 the consumer stated during the past 2 years, she experienced 5-6 episodes, in which the engine revved up and lurched forward while she was stopped with her foot on the brake, in traffic or at a stop sign. She avoided an accident, by shifting to park. The most recent incident was on 11/09/13 which occurred while backing into a parking space and the engine revved and the vehicle lurched backwards. The local vw dealer examined the vehicle twice in the last week and found no problems. Updated 03/31/14.

Unintended acceleration continues despite recall fix in may 2008. I was never informed of this recall by vw corporate or the dealer. I bought the car in Aug. 2008 - 3 months after the recall repair was done. When I complained about unexpected surges numerous times to the dealer, vw corporate and NHTSA not one person mentioned the 2008 recall which exactly described the problem I was experiencing. I had three serious near collisions because of this unintended surging before I myself discovered the problem. I did this by keeping a 2-year log of when the surges occurred and under what circumstances. I found that the only common denominator in the incidents was the use of air conditioning. It only surged when the a/c was on 3 or 4. Today - after visiting your new safercar. Gov I learned about the 2008 recall for the first time. It describes exactly what I have been experiencing with this car and it cites the a/c as the direct cause. After driving in danger for six years - I want this fixed now and I want to know why I was not informed of this recall after my numerous complaints to both vw and NHTSA.
