Consumer Description

I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT , TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL TO COAST IN AND APPLIED THE BRAKE (APPROX 3 TO 4 MPH). THE ENGINE REVVED AND ACCELERATED. THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD. THE CAR MOVED APPROX 6 FEET AND OVER A 6 INCH CURB. SUDDENLY THE ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL REVS. LUCKILY THERE WAS ONLY LAWN IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE DONE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. STRANGELY THE CAR RADIO CHANGED STATIONS AT THE EXACT SAME TIME OF THE ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE TYPE IS THE VW DIESEL TDI WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR
