| 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. ive 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. | |||

| 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. while this was happening, a ford f-150 was heading towards the rear of my car, but swerved in time i assume after seeing my hazards on, which i did immediately. the truck barely missed clipping me. finally, i turned the car off and back on, and it got up to about 20 miles per hour, enough for me to get off the exit ramp. this car burns oil through every 1200-1500 miles. audi is aware of this problem, in addition to the ignition coil problems with this vehicle. i had 4 coils replaced, but only after i got the letter of the recall from audi. i was told the whole time the jerking of the misfired coils was 'normal'. i am not the only one who has had the same issues. this year of car is unsafe, and should be recalled to fix the oil consumption issues before the damage occurs to the engines. *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. | |||
