I purchased the new 2023 TAOS Volkswagen. I am experiencing sudden burst of acceleration when I-??m gently accelerating. I have had several near misses of having an accident. I have read several other reports of the same problem on online forums. What is Volkswagen going to do about this? I just paid $35,000 for this new car and I-??m afraid I-??m gonna have an accident the way it suddenly accelerates. Please contact me so I know if there-??s anything I can do to resolve this problem. This car is my only transportation and it scares me to drive it. This should not be happening.

Pulling into a parking spot, vehicle had a sudden burst of acceleration, as it was still on the road, resulting in an accident. Vehicle drove over a parking curb, hitting a small tree and a sign. Vehicle felt like there was a lag in response timing of the throttle to acceleration response. No one was injured, including myself the driver. Vehicle at this moment is at the VW dealership getting repaired. Insurance was notified at time of accident. No warning lights occurred at time of accident.
