2005 AUDI A6 Vehicle Speed Control Problems

CAR STUTTERING. DEPRESSES THROTTLE TO ATTEMPT TO ALLEVIATE PROBLEM. GAS PEDAL STUCK AT FULL ACCELERATION AND MAXIMUM RPM. SET CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO DECELERATE. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO DISENGAGE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT FINALLY SPRUNG BACK FROM FULL THROTTLE. *TR

I DROVE MY AUDI A6 FROM THE TRAIN STATION CARPARK ON TO THE INTERSTATE RAMP AND ACCELERATED ON TO THE HIGHWAY. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND COULD NOT BE PRISED UP WITH MY FOOT. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO REV AT FULL THROTTLE. I WAS IN BUSY TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT MOVE OVER TO THE HARD SHOULDER SO HAD TO SWERVE IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC TRYING TO AVOID COLLISION. I CONTINUED TO PICK UP SPEED, WHILE PUMPING THE BRAKES AND EVENTUALLY CUT THROUGH THE TRAFFIC TO THE HARD SHOULDER WHERE I PUMPED THE BRAKES UNTIL THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED. AT ONE POINT THE CAR WAS DOING WELL NORTH OF 100 MPH AND CARS WERE TOOTING THEIR HORNS AS I SWERVED IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. I AM LUCKY NOT TO HAVE CRASHED THE CAR AND KILLED MYSELF OR OTHER MOTORISTS.

DURING DRIVING EPC LIGHT ILLUMINATES, RPMS SOAR AND CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN 4 TIMES IN 13 MONTHS--CAR WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW 13 MONTHS AGO. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES. TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS HAVE "REPAIRED" THE CAR AND RETURNED IT TO ME--THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. THE MOST RECENT FAILURES OCCURRED WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. THE CAR HAS IN NO WAY EVER BEEN REPAIRED. COMPUTER WAS RE-SET, AND UPDATED. PHYSICAL PARTS REPLACED AS PER DEALER INVOICE THROTTLE VALVE, GASKET. VEHICLE IS DEFECTIVE AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. *NM

ON THE NIGHT IN QUESTION, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY WENT INTO 'FULL THROTTLE MODE'. THE CAR RACED AHEAD AND WAS BROUGHT TO A STOP ONLY WITH EXTREMELY HEAVY APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE STOPPED AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE PULLED STRONGLY AT NEARLY 3000 RPM. I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO PARK AND THE ENGINE INSTANTLY RACED TO REDLINE (7500 RPM). I DEPRESSED THE 'ENGINE STOP' BUTTON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THIS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, SCATTERED ANY NEARBY PEDESTRIANS---THANKFULLY. I MOVED THE SHIFTER TO 'NEUTRAL' AND THE ENGINE STILL RACED AT REDLINE. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO END THIS BY FRISKING MYSELF FOR THE PHYSICAL KEY AND INSERTING IT INTO THE IGNITION AND FINALLY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. MY NEXT STEP WAS TO CALL AUDI'S ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS NEARLY BRAND NEW AND DESCRIBE TO THEM THE...
