Audi A8 Acceleration problems by year

I was driving on the highway, the vehicle epc light came on. Vehicle began to run rough, and shortly after died out completely. Luckily there was no one behind me when the car died, and that I was in the right lane and was able to limp onto the shoulder. Waited for tow truck. Had car towed to dealer where a faulty turbocharger was diagnosed as the reason for vehicle breaking down

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 audi a8. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and the brake pedal failed to respond when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not notified. The vin and failure mileage were not available.

After starting the car it will travel or idle for 3-6 minutes (2-3 miles) then start to sputter and stall. During this time the yellow epc light and engine light are on. After sitting for 3-8 minutes it most often starts but will not idle or travel unless the epc light goes out. This restart may not be successful the first or second time. Running other software, air conditioning, and cruise control has no influence. Preliminary computer check suggests 14 faults. Further examination will be done after may 30, 2016.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 audi a8. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 mph, the vehicle speed decreased and suddenly failed to go over 40 mph. In addition, when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle stalled. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,427.

The brake and gas pedals are too close. I consistently hit the brake while accelerating. They need to be spaced farther apart, and the brake pedal moved to the left. There are comments all over the internet about this problem and audi service says there is no fix. I have large feet and have never had this problem with any other car manufacturer. I need the nhtsa to get involved before someone gets hurt. This is a very big defect that needs to be fixed.

Adaptive module j428 failed and brakes seized while vehicle was in motion.. Audi customer service said that since they could not find a recall and the vehicle was nine years old they thought it was not their problem. I think the problem could have e resulted in a serious accident at high speeds and could have killed me. I paid for the repair but told them they should check into the problem because of the safety issue but did not receive a positive response. I feel the problem should be researched and I would like feed back on any information that would result from the research. *Tr

While accelerating to get on the parkway my car locked at 7000 rpm's and continued to accelerate with my foot off the accelerator. I was forced to put the car in neutral to avoid an accident, if I were not an experienced driver this could have caused a fatality in the car was at 80 mph and quickly rising. The tachometer continued at 7000 rpm for roughly 20 seconds, only after continually tapping the accelerator it finally began to decline. Please look into this life threatening situation. Additionally my tire pressure light remains on even when all tires are at the factory recommended settings. *Tr

Tl. Hi, this morning I was involved in an accident when my 2008 audi a8l suddenly accelerated out of control as I was entering a parking garage. Thankfully it appears no one was injured. I am extremely disturbed by this incident. I have also contacted audi usa. Is thus a known problem with this car? Please let me know what I should do. I don't want this to happen to anyone else and I do not know if I should escalate this issue somewhere else. I am also concerned about driving it again after it is repaired. I always...

Car suddenly accelerated without warning and propelled us across am intersection into traffic. This is 2nd time this has happened, the first time it happened was on a freeway devoid of other traffic. I reported the first event to the local dealer that I purchased the vehicle from but never received any feedback. After researching the issue I was able to determine that the problem is caused by the drivers factory floor mat coming loose from its retaining clips, sliding forward and causing interference with the...

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 audi a8 l. While driving approximately 25 mph, the contact approached another vehicle and attempted to apply the brakes, but the vehicle would not stop.

Out of control experience due to unwanted acceleration of vehicle. The vehicle accelerated when the gas pedal was released, the engine revved past the redline, and the vehicle did not slow down when the brakes were engaged and we almost did not make the turn into our neighborhood. Even when we put the vehicle in neutral,the engine did not stop revving. We checked to make sure the cruise control was not on and tried the engine again, only to have the engine rev through the redline when only the brake pedal (and...
