Accelerator Stuck problems of the 2004 Audi A4

Gas pedal became stuck while driving on the freeway. I was able to pull to the shoulder by putting the vehicle in neutral and turning off the vehicle. Not sure exactly how this occurred, but it appeared that the pedal accelerated on it's own. I sent an email to Audi to see if there were any incidences similar to this. The incident occurred on November 12, 2016.

I was driving our 2004 Audi A4 on a two lane road at approximately 30 mph. Moved into the left hand lane and accelerated to 35 mph to pass a car and when releasing my foot from the gas pedal, the gas pedal continued to depress all the way to the floor on its own and the car accelerated at a high rate of speed. I could not pry the gas pedal from the floor and could only slam on the breaks to slow the car down. The car accelerated for a total of 15-20 seconds. Nothing was physically causing the gas pedal to stick to the floor such as the mat or other obstruction. Was able to avoid a collision with another vehicle. Will no longer drive my car for fear it will happen again. I have two young kids that were in the car at the time. Have read about similar issues with other peoples Audi?s on this site. Something needs to be done to fix this problem before it becomes fatal.

Accelerator stuck full open while it was pushed to the floorboard when accelerating onto a freeway. Had to stand on the brakes with one foot and stomp repeatedly on the accelerator with the other until the accelerator released.

While commuting to work, the accelerator pedal on my 2004 Audi A4 cabriolet stuck to the floor. At the time, I was driving approximately 35-40 mph. The pedal suddenly moved away from my foot, stuck to the floor, and my car started to rapidly increase in speed. Not knowing exactly what was going on, I hit the brakes, to no avail. The engine was screaming as the rpms raced into the 7000s. I tried to jiggle the gas pedal free with my foot, but it was stuck and would not budge. The brakes, which I pressed on again with all my strength, would not overpower the engine. I threw the manaul transmission into "park" but that did not stop the car either. I finally turned the ignition off and the car came to a grinding halt in the middle of the street. The car was towed to the closet Audi dealership, hoehn Audi. They had the car for two weeks but told me since they were not able to recreate the problem and did not detect any malfunctions in the car's computer, there was nothing wrong with my car nor was there anything they could do for me. In fact, they tried to tell me that the accelerator may have gotten stuck under the floor mat. I told them that was not possible and that I was looking at the accelerator as I was trying to get it unstuck and there was no floor mat in the way. I also filed a complaint with Audi's customer care advocates. My complaint was denied because the dealership did not find anything wrong with my car. I then took my car to the Audi dealership where I leased the vehicle, miramar Audi, for a second opinion. They, too, told me that they were not able to detect anything wrong with my car and that there was nothing more they could do for me. They told me that they believed Audi corporate was involved but would not provide with the name of anyone at Audi corporate with whom I could discuss the issue further. They also stated that they had three other Audis in their service dept for the same problem.
