Description of the problem	The first day i drove my new 2019 tiguan sel home, i opened the passenger driver-side door and the handle got stuck and would not go back in... Made an appointment for 2-days later to get this fixed. During the 2-day waiting period, i was stopped in a turning lane on a four-lane, lighted road to make a u-turn. When i hit the gas peddle to go the car jerked forward, and went to a standstill for about 5-seconds while my foot was firmly pressing the gas peddle. This caused the two oncoming vehicles to have to screech to a stop; and the vehicle in the middle lane had to swerve to avoid hitting me and spin out. When the tiguan started moving forward, i had to pull over because i was shaking. The same issue happened again the next day, but no oncoming cars were in sight. Went in for the door appointment, i told the service rep about engine and asked to speak to a manager. An assistant manager came out, i told him about the engine, and he respond that's a vw and gave me a hug and two free t-shirts. New door handle had to be ordered due to corrosion, had to come back 3-days later to have it fixed. During those 3-days, the passenger seat seat belt warning sound started randomly going off, along with the airbag light flashing above the hazard light when my handbag was on the seat. Reported that and the engine issue again at next appointment. Had to leave the car for two days... At pick-up was told everything was tested fine, but vw did not bother to test the seat sensor. Was instructed to not put anything on the passenger seat, as stated in the car's manual. Requested a new vehicle, or let me out of my lease due to feeling totally unsafe... Was denied by both corporate and dealer. Money should never come before safety, so i paid $3000 to break my lease today as vw corp & dealer told me to get back in that car. This is a deadly safety issue.
