2007 Audi A4 Vehicle speed control Problems

“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.”

“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.”

“I have an Audi A4 2007. Friday, march 5 I was driving to work and the car starting revving by itself, but slowing down at the same time. I was forced to put it in neutral and coast to the side of the road. Took it to the dealer, they said it was the fuel pump, replaced it. Saturday, I was the last car on an exit ramp preparing for light to change, but when I pushed the gas, the engine revved to 5, but would not move. Car was in drive position. …”

“Traveling on the freeway at 60mph. The esp(stability control) and epc lights came on. 5 seconds later the engine shuts off and I keep rolling at 60mph but decreasing speed. Luckily I was on a straight away and there was no need to turn but once the engine turned off the steering wheel was hard to turn and I could not pull over. There was an exit and I was able to stop on the off ramp. After putting the vehicle in park. I took the key out then, put it back on the ignition and tried to turn the vehicle on. The vehicle would not turn back on. …”

“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. …”
