FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT 8:40 AM CST ON 11/6/2012. WHILE COMMUTING TO WORK AT 55 MPH ROAD IN THE MIDDLE OF FREEWAY. I LOST FUNCTIONALITY ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN ENGAGING THE GAS PEDAL. GAS PEDAL WAS RENDERING NON-FUNCTIONAL AND IN-EFFECTIVE. THERE WAS HEAVY SOOT/SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PRIMARILY ALMOST LIKE FIRE AND SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD, THIS IS A NEW UNDER WARRANTY VW CC 2012 4 DOOR SEDAN. DRIVING ON THE LEFT LANE WITH A SEMI BEHIND ME WHEN THIS OCCURRED. IT CREATED A VERY UNSAFE NEAR MISS INCIDENT. I AM FORTUNATE THAT A COLLISION DID NOT HAPPEN WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE WHEELS. I PULLED OFF TO AN EXIT AND WHEN I FLOORED THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS INTERMITTENT POWER STALLING THE VEHICLE TO LESS THAN 5 MPH. HOWEVER, THERE WAS HEAVY SOOT/SMOKE FROM THE EXHAUST PRIMARILY ALMOST LIKE FIRE AND SOME SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD, WITH PARKING LIGHTS ON I DROVE 2 MINUTES AND PULLED TO A PARKING LOT. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP UPON TALKING WITH VW ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE. THEY APPEAR TO BE INCONSIDERATE TO THE MAGNITUDE OF THE SITUATION I DEALT WITH AND THE IMPACT AND SEVERITY OF THE TECHNICAL FAILURE. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS SYSTEMIC IN VW CC. THIS TECHNICAL FAILURE CAN EASILY CAUSE ACCIDENTS. MY NEAR MISS IS A TESTAMENT TO IT. *TR
