| 2004 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 AUDI A4 (1.8, CONVERTIBLE) ON A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROX 30MPH, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM UNDER MY FOOT AND THE CAR ACCELERATED VERY RAPIDLY. IT FELT LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD COME ON BY ITSELF (THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS COMPLETELY OFF AT THE TIME). I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, THE GAS PEDAL POPPED UP AND FELT NORMAL. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES, IT CONTINUED TO IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE ALL THE WAY WITH THE GAS PEDAL DROPPING TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HAD I BEEN IN A TIGHTER SITUATION AT THE TIME, IT COULD'VE BEEN UGLY. *TR |
