'If the accelerator pedal is fully pressed whilst driving and is unable to return to its resting position, the vehicle will continue to accelerate, even when the driver's foot is removed from the accelerator pedal.'

Not a bug...

European made cars are poor quality cars when you consider how much you pay for them. A $25,000 North American car is often made to a higher standard.

Not hardly.

Murder/suicide most likely.

In order to be sold in the US, do European super cars have to be modified in order to comply with US emission standards?

“The mystery of why a $300,000 Bentley crashed into the US-Canada border crossing at 100mph and exploded, killing a couple inside, may never be solved as police close the case.”

There are 3 possibilities.

He got the covid vaccine.
Climate change.
He had info on Hillary that could put her away.

a manufacturing flaw that caused accelerators to get stuck while engaged

I would think this would be an issue that would be a mandatory immediate fix, as in, we're sending a tow truck to your house today to pick up the car and fix it for you.

Seems like there isn’t much “mystery” about what happened.

‘Due to inconsistent fitment of the fuse box and the electrical harness the A-post lower trim can protrude into the cabin reducing clearance to the accelerator pedal,’ the notice warned.


The accelerator pedal is not near the “A” post trim in a left hand drive car.

Neutral, Brakes, or cause a spin. (Assuming you’re somewhere safe to do so).

One of my buds was cooking on the race track in his C6 Z06 (Corvette) when his brakes failed. He used engine braking, and a controlled spin to bleed off speed.

Seems like turning off the ignition would solve the problem in the immediate sense and prevent hitting a bridge at 100 mph. Not everyone panics well, though.
