“Tl. Hi, this morning I was involved in an accident when my 2008 Audi a8l suddenly accelerated out of control as I was entering a parking garage. Thankfully it appears no one was injured. I am extremely disturbed by this incident. I have also contacted Audi USA. Is thus a known problem with this car? Please let me know what I should do. I don't want this to happen to anyone else and I do not know if I should escalate this issue somewhere else. I am also concerned about driving it again after it is repaired. …”
