Vehicle Speed Control · reported Feb 9, 2024
On 1/24/24, I was pulling into my garage. I pressed the âpâ button to park. The vehicle suddenly lurched forward and accelerated through my garage, knocking down my fence which damaged my neighborâs garage. No one was physically hurt. Audi engineer inspected the car and looked at the âblack boxâ data. He concluded there was no malfunction of the brakes and referred this as an insurance matter. There was no warning light or signal. I heard the engine rev up and it felt like the car took a life of its own and I had no control over it.
