Description of the problem	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. It was as though the car suddenly wanted to peal out in a manner that was totally out of sync with the amount of pressure on the gas pedal. It just started speeding toward the fence/box. Looking back on it, i believe that this happened a couple of days before as i started to accelerate after stopping at a stop sign. Though the reaction of the car was similar, it was not nearly so pronounced. It felt as though the car was tripping over itself. I had the insurance tow the car to the mechanic but so far he has not been able to replicate the problem. I spoke with both the local vw serviceman and vw north america but they denied ever hearing about such a problem. I have had this car for over 6 years and have never had this happen before the other day.
