“Runaway throttle. Uncommanded engagement of cruise control? Would not respond to brake or shutting cruise control off on steering column stalk switch. Very dangerous!!! Almost caused a crash, very ineffective braking with engine trying to keep car going at about 55 MPH, but I managed to pull over and shut car off. I pulled the cruise control fuse and problem has not reappeared. I am an electrical engineer.”

NHTSA complaint #10193071, filed 2007-06, 84,320 miles

“Dangerous uncommanded acceleration. I submitted a complaint earlier today that said I thought it was a cruise control problem but it isnt. It happened again today with the cc fuse pulled!!! It was preceded by a funny feeling in the brakes, like not enough vacuum boost, then radical engine acceleration even with my foot off the gas pedal. I put the car in neutral, the tach redlined and then I shut off the ignition. Started it and it did it again. I am an engineer and never believed the stories about audis and unintended acceleration... But now I know it can happen and it is super dangerous!!!!”
