Consumer Description

THE THROTTLE STUCK ON MY '99 AUDI A6 2.8 QUATTRO AT 70 MPH ON INTERSTATE I-65 IN INDIANAPOLIS, IN. IT TOOK BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND STILL ALMOST HIT SOMEONE IN THE REAR (SCARY). I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, IT RED-LINED AND I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE THROTTLE HAD RESET. FORTUNATELY MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING. *JB
