| I believe this may be a repeat complaint, but ms. demeter says it is not on file. 2005 audi a4 cabriolet, 6 cylinder (normally aspirated). sudden persistent accelration. i was rapidly accelerating from about 25 mph going up a hill trying to make a green light about .2 mile away. when i approached the intersection, i released the pedal but the car kept accelerating. firm brake pressure slowed the car, but it reaccelerated until i brought it to a stop. i made sure the cruise control was in the off position, even though i had not used it. i drove about 2 miles otthe next major intersection, where i stopped for alight. while i was sitting there with my foot on the brake, the engine began to rev. i put the vehicle in neutral, and it redlined. i turned the car off, and reached down to see if the floor mat was out of place. i gave it a pull but did not feel it over the gas pedal. i started the car again, and slowly accerated away form the intersection. the problem has not reoccurred, even when i tried to reproduce it. | |||
