| **uncontrolled acceleration** cayenne s accelerated uncontrollably while driving. while driving at approx 60 mph, i encountered traffic ahead and took my foot off the accelerator, however the car began accelerating. i tried lifting the pedal with my foot, no luck, applied the brakes and the car slowed, however, when i removed my foot from the brake, the cayenne continued to accelerate. the cruise control had not been activated and was off. i kept pressing the gas pedal and releasing it at least a dozen times and finally the cayenne stopped accelerating on its own, only to lose any control to accelerate. i coasted into a parking lot and stopped the car. turned it off and restarted - i was able to drive, however acceleration was very slow and gear indicator on the dash cluster displayed a black 'd' in an orange square. this is a symbol that does not exist in the owners manual. the car shifted through gears normally. the rapid uncontrolled acceleration repeated itself and i was able to pull into another parking lot, slowing and stopping the car thanksto massive 14 front brakes with 6 piston calipers and 13+ rear brakes with 4 piston calipers. i turned the car off for a few minutes and restarted. gear selection indicator appeared normal and i was able to drive off, however acceleration was still veryslow. drove home with the rapid acceleration repeating itself again and then stopping after a few miles. the only reason this did not cause a crash is the massive braking power of the cayenne and astute driving. i ran diagnostic software when i made it home and there was an accelerator module failure reported. the tail lights, alarm, central locking, and the ability to open the tailgate at all have also failed - rear lighting control module failure. so while driving, my tail lights failed, car accelerated uncontrollably and failed to accelerate in a safe normal manner. this is a major safety issue and should be promptly addressed! *tr | |||
