problem #1

A6 6-cyl

  • 84,000 miles
I have recently experience the exact same sudden acceleration with my Audi A6 quattro. The temperature outdoors was very cold and I was traveling up a hill when the car kept accelerating on its own. While applying pressure to the brakes the car continued to accelerate. Luckily I was able to pull the car off the road and shifted into park. Upon placing the car in park the tachometer red lined. After taking it to the garage the technician determined he could not find anything wrong the automobile. The following week my husband drove the car and experienced the exact same thing. Again our car is in the garage and the technicians are trying to determine a cause. To date, they have been unsuccessful in finding the problem.
