2010 Audi A4

DRIVING TO WORK ON A COUNTRY ROADWAY, PASSED A VEHICLE AND BEGAN TO PULL BACK INTO MY LANE, RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE AUDI 2010 A4 CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER BRAKING, SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 85-90 MPH. BRAKES FUNCTIONED, PULLED OVER, STOPPED CAR. LOOKED DOWN, NOTHING INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL. RESTARTED CAR, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE JUMPED TO 7000-8000 RPM, CAR REVVED. NEEDED TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION, PROCEEDED TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, BRAKES BEGAN SMOKING BUT MADE IT TO A MINI MART, PARKED AND STOPPED CAR. CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA, THEY REVIEWED THE RECORDS AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO HIGH RATE OF SPEED DESPITE DRIVER'S ATTEMPTS TO REDUCE SPEED. HAVE NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE SINCE THIS INCIDENT ON 7/7/11. NO PRIOR PROBLEMS, BUT SINCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED DOWN AT THE GAS PEDAL, THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE WAY WHICH WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. DEALERSHIP STATES NO CODES WERE THROWN AND NOTHING SHOWS UP. *KB

THERE IS A FOUL ODOR FROM THE HEAT/AC VENTS AFTER ONLY 4 MONTHS OF USE. THE CAR IS CLEAN FROM HEAD TO TOE SO I COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE SMELL. I TOOK IT IN TO BE SERVICED AND THEY PREFORMED A TSB TO REMOVE THE ODOR. IT THEN SMELLED LIKE A MUSKY LEMON. A MONTH LATER THE FOUL ODOR IS BACK, NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING IT BUT NOT VERY PLEASED WITH THE BRAND NEW FUNK AROMA. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK IN AGAIN. *TR
