Description of the problem	I parked my vehicle in the ymca parking . I turned off the push button keyless entry. I exited the vehicle and locked the keyless entry system and entered the ymca. I completed my business and exited the y approximately 3 minutes later. My vehicle had rolled left striking the rear corner of a parked vehicle,then exited the parking lot and striking another vehicle parked on the street. If we assume i left my vehicle in drive position,there is no alarm,bell,whistle or safety system in place on a 2016 volkswagen tiguan to prevent drivers from a similar accident. Volkswagen has a recall on 679,000 vehicles with what appears to be the same problem. The 2016 tiguan should be ,but is not on this recall list. A person from vw informed me that recall was fairly new and the tiguan could end up under recall yet . Should they wait until more tiguans have accidents? My research shows that many makes and model vehicles have lights or alarms in place,including some when the vehicle door is opened.
