Consumer Description

THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW SEVERAL TIMES, WHEN THE CAR COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP OR JUST ABOUT A COMPLETE STOP, THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THERE IS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING AS EXPECTED. IS THE ABS SYSTEM CUTTING POWER TO THE ENGINE? THE CAR IS 'DEAD' FOR ABOUT TWO SECONDS AND THEN POWER IS RESTORED. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. REPORTEDLY, THIS IS APPARENTLY WIDELY DOCUMENTED AND ONGOING SINCE AT LEAST THE YEAR 2000, AND NOT SPECIFIC TO AUDI...WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING ABOUT THIS??? *TR
