Unintended Acceleration
To the esteemed Audiphiles: I have had 2 experiences of unintended
acceleration with my '90 V8Q. Both happened while driving at highway
speeds. Basically driving along with cruise off and the throttle pedal
went to the floor. Very disconcerting. Tried playing with the cruise
switch but no change. Also in fairly heavy traffic so I needed to use
the brake to keep from climbing into the back seat of the car in front of
me. It is true that brakes will overcome the motor, but not as easy at
speed as at rest. Anyway, manuevered (sp?) to the shoulder and cut the
ignition, pulled to a stop. Regained professional demeaner, restarted
motor and took off. No further occurances in the last 12 months. ??
