Interesting that not only Audi customers had problems with UI. It seems 
that 90% of service bulletins for Acura legends of 88-90 era and same age 
Toyota Cressidas have to do with unintended acceleration as well. They had 
some real problems with shift locks and sport mode switch electronics 
which caused that. 
I wonder why they were never publically disgraced???!!
