Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2004 AUDI A4 ON A TWO LANE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. MOVED INTO THE LEFT HAND LANE AND ACCELERATED TO 35 MPH TO PASS A CAR AND WHEN RELEASING MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL, THE GAS PEDAL CONTINUED TO DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ON ITS OWN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I COULD NOT PRY THE GAS PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR AND COULD ONLY SLAM ON THE BREAKS TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN. THE CAR ACCELERATED FOR A TOTAL OF 15-20 SECONDS. NOTHING WAS PHYSICALLY CAUSING THE GAS PEDAL TO STICK TO THE FLOOR SUCH AS THE MAT OR OTHER OBSTRUCTION. WAS ABLE TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. WILL NO LONGER DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE TWO YOUNG KIDS THAT WERE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. HAVE READ ABOUT SIMILAR ISSUES WITH OTHER PEOPLES AUDI?S ON THIS SITE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES FATAL. *TR
