| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The computer program controlling the accelerator applications to the engine is flawed. he existing program anticipates the drivers intentions in slowing to a stop in that it cannot accept a sudden request for acceleration from the driver before completing the previous action. this causes an excessive "delay" in applying throttle in an emergency situation and when it finally does, it could result in death in certain conditions. the computer should be programmed to accept an emergency command of this type under the conditions described above. this has also been reported as a past condition in audi automobiles that has been transferred into the taurag in 2004.*ak |
