Sounds like the Toyotas that used to accelerate by themselves.

I thought Audi was the one known for that.

I think you mean the Audi. Interesting thing was the solution was to put the accelerator and the brake pedal further apart. I had a gunnery sergeant get a great deal on a new Audi at that time because of that scare.

I’ve got one of those, I shut off the ignition, or shift into neutral and let the engine hit the “rev limiter” when it occurs. It depends on the traffic situation which action I take.
