Consumer Description

WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN A LARGE PARKING LOT, AS SOON AS I STARTED THE TURN, MY CAR ACCELERATED DRAMATICALLY CAUSING THE CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND HIT THE CONCRETE BASE OF A LIGHT POLE HEAD ON. AIRBAGS WERE NOT DEPLOYED. INSURANCE DECLARED THE VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. I DID CONTACT VW CUSTOMER CARE WHO HAS TOLD ME MY ISSUE HAS BEEN WELL DOCUMENTED, HOWEVER, NEITHER VW OR MY INSURANCE COMPANY LOOKED ANY FURTHER AT THE VEHICLE FOR ISSUES.
