2018 Audi Q5 Vehicle speed control Problems

“My vehicle was in motion after starting from a complete stop. I took my foot off the accelerator and the vehicle continued to accelerate without my foot on the gas pedal. It seemed liked the gas pedal was stuck. I then put my foot on the brake and slammed on the break to get the vehicle to stop.”

“Audi pre-sense braking fault; recall needed! 1- while moving forward on an empty, flat, 2-lane, suburban road at approximately 35mph, the brakes suddenly activated, bring my vehicle to a near stop, with a loud, grinding sound.

“I was pulling slowly into a parking space at a grocery store, with my right foot on the brake, nearly stopped. Then the car rapidly and suddenly accelerated unintentionally. The car jumped over a bush, a median, rammed into a parked car, pushing it across the next parking lane into a third car. The third car, in turn, bumped a fourth car. Safety: The air bags did not deploy. The potential for significant injury to me, nearby pedestrians and people in cars was extremely high. Luckily, I was able to brace myself sufficiently, there were no pedestrians nearby and no one was in any of the cars. …”
