I once rented a Mercury Sable wagon and experienced the unintended deceleration. As the road would start going uphill, used as I am to good old Audi 5-speeds, I slammed on the brakes with my left foot in search of a clutch pedal. My passengers (4 of them) didn't quite appreciate it, but nobody got hurt so we couldn't file the class action suit. Jakov 82 Coupe 86 5000 Turbo Quattro wagon
