sudden acceleration while using brakes sudden acceleration while using brakes sudden acceleration while using brakes sudden acceleration while using brakes sudden acceleration while using brakes sudden acceleration while using brakes

On August 27th 2025 when pulling into a parking spot in B Mode and applying the brake my car suddenly lunged forward with rapid acceleration and ran over a bollard, across a sidewalk and into a brick wall. The entire time I had my foot on the brake and could not stop my car. A brick wall ultimately stopped it. Shockingly, my airbag didn't deploy nor did any of the braking safety overrides engage. I contacted VW corporate and they took my verbal report. VW then sent me an email requesting permission to access my car's event data recorder (EDR). It is a new lease and I am demanding to be made financially whole by VW. I've indicated that I want my $2000 deposit back and all lease payments paid thus far. Importantly, I filed a report with NHTSA. If this has also happened to you, please file a report here https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem. It's easy to complete.

Per my insurance, it appears to be a total loss. The car is brand new (2025 VW ID.4 PRO S) and has less than 300 miles on it. There is pending litigation that you can join via a class action lawsuit: https://truthinadvertising.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Beecher-v-Volkswagen-complaint.pdf

The lawsuit is shocking to read through as it describes precisely what happened to me and others. I've contacted the law firm below who is a party to the class action. From what I understand, the EDR has not yielded compelling information, according to other VW owners.
