What owners wrote
Vehicle experienced sudden acceleration while attempting to maneuver into a parking space, crashing into a wooden structure.
My volkswagen touareg has a "hesitation" when accelerating affectionately known in VW circles as "death lag". Many times when attempting to accellerate the vehicle will just sit there for 3-10 seconds even if the accellerator pedal is depressed all the way. This has nearly caused numerous accidents with some avoided only by oncoming traffic swerving and skidding to a stop while my vehicle sits still in traffic.
