general problems of the 2007 Audi A4

My vehicle will disengage forward or drive at times (transmission) unknowingly and as you apply the gas it sometimes will engage and go forward or reverse in a high speed. Stopped at a light or stop sign becomes dangerous as you are not in control of your speed. Or you may be moved into traffic and lose forward or reverse power.

The contact owns a 2007 Audi A4. The contact was driving 70 mph when the accelerator pedal was released and the vehicle accelerated without warning. The contact also stated that every warning light illuminated intermittently during the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired and the VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 72,000 and the current mileage was 81,000.

I have two Audi A4's, one a 2007 sedan and one a 2008 station wagon. Both exhibit the problem. Both have done it a number of times, mostly the sedan. When you need to scoot across opposing traffic making a left, sporadically, the car initially responds like you'd expect to the gas pedal, but half a second later bogs out with basically no acceleration, so you're rolling leisurely across oncoming traffic, and then about a second later it wakes up and resumes accelerating. I'm serious. Both cars do it, largely turning left. I've told the dealership about it several times and they always say they checked the computer and couldn't find anything wrong. The Audis are the only cars I've had with this problem.

The accelerator pedal of my 2007 Audi A4 convertible has stuck twice. Both times, I stepped on the brake and it released immediately, so I never reported it or asked the dealer to look at it. No resulting injuries, but obviously a concern -- perhaps Toyota isn't the only make with this problem.
