DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR STARTS SMOKING AND CATCHS ON FIRE

STOPPED ON A HILL AT A STOP LIGHT, WENT TO GO AND CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND DIED. HAD TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY BRAKES, CAR STARTED AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WE ARE SECOND OWNER, HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR AND FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FOR THIS VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPLACED AT 49,000 MILES - UNDER WARRANTY TO OTHER OWNER. NOW, AT 130K MILES WE ARE BEING TOLD IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IT IS A DANGER TO DRIVE AS THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION COULD FAIL OR EVEN THE GEARS COULD SLIP CAUSING DANGER TO THE PASSENGERS. THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF AUDI TRANSMISSION, KNOWN AS "MULTITRONIC" OR "CVT" HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND FAILURES. WE PAID 12K FOR THIS CAR USED AND HAVE A MAJOR MALFUNCTION WITHIN A YEAR. *TR

SHIFTING FROM SECOND TO THIRD GEAR AND THE GAS PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND ENGINE REDLINED RPMS. I HAD TO MANUALLY PULL THE PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR WHERE THE ENGINE AND PEDAL FUNCTIONED AS NORMAL AFTERWARDS. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS SECURE AND AWAY FROM IMPEDING THE PEDAL. *TR

CAN'T STAR AND EPC LIGHT ON. *TR
