  RECALL 37M2 - MY 2013 VW JETTA SPORTWAGON/AUTOMATIC, W/KEY - IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. HOWEVER - THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR - ONLY 4 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT IT! (CERTIFIED, FROM A VW DEALER) MY VW WAS PARKED AT THE TOP OF A DRIVEWAY (THE HOUSE AND DRIVEWAY IS ON A HILL - BUT THE TOP OF THE DRIVEWAY IS FLAT - WHERE THE CAR WAS PARKED) 15 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS, WENT DOWN A HILL, AND CRASHED INTO A TREE AND WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED. THE CAR WAS IN PARK - THE KEY CAME OUT AND THE CAR MADE NO BEEPING NOISE. THE GARAGE WHO EXAMINED THE VW, SAID THAT IT MUST NOT HAVE BEEN ALL THE WAY IN PARK - NOTHING ELSE COULD BE FOUND AS TO THE REASON. (NO SHEARED GEARS, ETC) A CAR BEING "TOTALED" INCREASES MY INSURANCE - I HAD TO COPAY, AND BUY A NEW CAR. I HAVE THE CLAIM PAPERS AT HOME IN A FILE - IF THOSE ARE NEEDED.
