While you were slowly driving toward a stop sign, your Passat suddenly accelerated on its own, causing it to move forward into another vehicle that hit your driver's side. The vehicle was destroyed in the crash, though no one was injured. This unintended acceleration occurred at around 83,000 miles. The issue may involve the throttle control system or electronic accelerator components that need diagnostic testing and possible replacement.
