Re: unintended acceleration sources

R&T did an excellent article on this topic some years ago. Every major auto
maker , including MB has had these suits. They simply paid people off out of
court. Audi chose to fight. Government's final report called it "pedal
misapplication." My closest experience with the phenomenon came when my bomb
was bad and the brake pedal would first not move then drop quickly. In a
sudden stop, as the pedal dropped my foot hit the gas. If it had been an
automatic car I would have hit the car ahead of me. How could I blame Audi
for my maintenance problem? Some would have tried!
