| I have been experiencing sudden, unexpected and very scary surges with my 2009 vw tiguan. it has been back to the dealer three times for recall work on this problem. the problem has not been solved. vw thinks it is a software problem. i believe it is a hardware problem. i found it interesting to read about similar problems being experienced by toyota owners. i read about this on the abc website which is where i learned about your connection to the problem. the surge in my tiguan has nothing to do with floor mats. i believe that if vw and toyota compared notes on all parts in the surging cars they may find a common denominator which is causing the problem and perhaps we can save some lives. 16 deaths so far - unacceptable. the surges are very very frightening. *tr | |||
