| Description of the problem | After turning motor on, and backing up, the car is unresponsive when shifted into drive,. On 4 occasions now i have had to restart the car and try again. The accelerator seems progressively unresponsive. Yesterday, the car stayed in gear, and on long enough for me to pull into traffic and then died. I had to restart while vehicles drove around me. Thankfully it was a residential street. I'm very worried now to drive the car as it could happen in a busier environment and result in an accident. Checking online, this seems to have occurred to other volkswagen tiguan owners over the past 3 years, but dealership service departments were unable to determine the problem or changed out the fuel pump. After gm recall i am very concerned. |
