Unintended acceleration continues despite recall fix in may 2008. I was never informed of this recall by vw corporate or the dealer. I bought the car in aug. 2008 - 3 months after the recall repair was done. When I complained about unexpected surges numerous times to the dealer, vw corporate and the federal safety agency not one person mentioned the 2008 recall which exactly described the problem I was experiencing. I had three serious near collisions because of this unintended surging before I myself discovered the problem. I did this by keeping a 2-year log of when the surges occurred and under what circumstances. I found that the only common denominator in the incidents was the use of air conditioning. It only surged when the A/C was on 3 or 4. Today - after visiting your new I learned about the 2008 recall for the first time. It describes exactly what I have been experiencing with this car and it cites the A/C as the direct cause. After driving in danger for six years - I want this fixed now and I want to know why I was not informed of this recall after my numerous complaints to both vw and the federal safety agency.

Car just turned a year old with 10,477 going down the highway 65miles per hour when I thought my tire was going flat because I felt a jerk in the acceleration I pulled over to check the tires I saw all blue smoke coming from exhaust. It was not until I go to the side of the road to noticed a problem.no sign of engine light or codes came on until I was in park checking my tires. The problem was rectified,broken fuel lines...after discussing this with other they informed me I was pretty darn lucky due to the fact the engine could have ignited...
1 of 2 fuel line "quick connect" fittings in the engine compartment (passenger side fire wall area) disconnected while driving. The engine compartment was covered with fuel and the engine would not run. The vehicle had 114 miles.
