Consumer Description

MY 2003 AUDI A4 ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAS STARTED TO ACCELERATE TO HIGH SPEEDS ON IT'S OWN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS PULLING OUT AND I PUSHED THE GAS AND IT JUST STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED I PULLED OVER AND THEN TRIED TO PULL OUT AGAIN AND IT STARTED AGAIN TO PICK UP SPEED I NOTICED THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON AND SO I TURNED IT OFF AND THEN IT WAS FINE. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING OUT AND PUSHED THE GAS TO SPEED UP AND AGAIN IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE VERY FAST AND SO I PULLED OVER AGAIN AND THOUGHT I MUST OF HIT IT INTO SPEED CONTROL AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME WITH CRUISE CONTROL OFF IT STILL CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND IT WAS HARDER TO GET THE CAR TO STOP I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL REALLY HARD AND I THOUGHT IT WASN'T GOING TO STOP. THEN WHEN I DID GET IT TO A COMPLETE STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV, AS IF I WERE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. THIS COULD HAVE EASILY RESULTED IN A CRASH. IF IT WERE IN THE WINTER MONTHS I WOULD HAVE CRASHED, AND I HAD MY ONE YEAR OLD BOY WITH ME THIS WAS VERY FRIGHTENING FOR BOTH OF US. *TR
