What owners wrote
I was parking the vehicle in a tight parking lot and maneuvering around a tree in order to pull further up into the space. As I gently pushed down on the accelerator to inch into the spot, the car lurched forward at a very high rate of speed crashing into a wooden garbage box. I jammed on the brakes before going through the fence. I was incredibly lucky that I was no longer aiming at the tree.
One morning in june 2017 my husband stopped for gas. After getting gas he started to turn out of the gas station when our car (2004 volkswagen touareg) stopped moving and shut down. My husband tried several times to start and move the car, but to no avail.the car had to be towed (at our expense) to our local gas station.the gas station performed $1,164.16 worth of work. They did an excellent job of locating the problem and fixing it for a reasonable price.
