2007 Audi A4 Speed Control & Cruise Problems

GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK ON FULL THROTTLE ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY. PEDAL WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND RPM'S WERE RACING AS I WAS PUSHING THE BRAKES AND TRYING TO GET ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY SITUATION AND I CAME CLOSE TO A COLLISION WITH MULTIPLE CARS TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE AREA. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF, BUT THE PEDAL STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION FOR OVER 2 MINUTES EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF. THIS WAS DEFINITELY NOT A FLOOR MAT ISSUE AND NOTHING WAS BLOCKING THE PEDAL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT EVERY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

I HAVE TWO AUDI A4'S, ONE A 2007 SEDAN AND ONE A 2008 STATION WAGON. BOTH EXHIBIT THE PROBLEM. BOTH HAVE DONE IT A NUMBER OF TIMES, MOSTLY THE SEDAN. WHEN YOU NEED TO SCOOT ACROSS OPPOSING TRAFFIC MAKING A LEFT, SPORADICALLY, THE CAR INITIALLY RESPONDS LIKE YOU'D EXPECT TO THE GAS PEDAL, BUT HALF A SECOND LATER BOGS OUT WITH BASICALLY NO ACCELERATION, SO YOU'RE ROLLING LEISURELY ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND THEN ABOUT A SECOND LATER IT WAKES UP AND RESUMES ACCELERATING. I'M SERIOUS. BOTH CARS DO IT, LARGELY TURNING LEFT. I'VE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE AUDIS ARE THE ONLY CARS I'VE HAD WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL OF MY 2007 AUDI A4 CONVERTIBLE HAS STUCK TWICE. BOTH TIMES, I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT RELEASED IMMEDIATELY, SO I NEVER REPORTED IT OR ASKED THE DEALER TO LOOK AT IT. NO RESULTING INJURIES, BUT OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN -- PERHAPS TOYOTA ISN'T THE ONLY MAKE WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

AUDI 2.0T 2007 (2 MOS OLD)- AFTER ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE INTERSTATE, MY CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER RELEASE OF THE GAS PEDAL AND THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE CAR JERKED BACK AND FORTH AND REQUIRED FORCEFUL BREAKING TO DECREASE THE SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE. I WAS ABLE TO BREAK SUDDENLY, WITH CONTINUED JERKING, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION. WITH THE CAR IN PARK, I TURNED ON THE IGNITION, AND ONCE AGAIN THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND I EXAMINED THE PEDALS TO SEE IF THE MAT WAS PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH IT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE. WHILE THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF, I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR MULTIPLE TIMES, ASSUMING THE PEDAL WAS STUCK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN ON THE IGNITION WITHOUT THE RPMS INCREASING. NO ONE WAS INJURED, BUT THIS WAS A VERY SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE I FELT I HAD LITTLE CONTROL OVER THE CAR.
