1978 Audi 5000 Recalls

The 1978 Audi 5000 has 3 recalls, all involving unintended acceleration risks that can cause loss of vehicle control. The most direct concern is a tendency for the car to surge forward or backward without warning when shifting from Park into Drive or Reverse. A second issue affects the floor mat on automatic transmission models: the mat can slide under the accelerator pedal and catch on the pedal's vibration damper, holding the throttle partially open even when the driver lifts their foot. The third recall, also limited to automatic transmission models, involves the gas and brake pedals sitting too close in height to each other, making it possible to press both at once and leave the driver unable to properly control speed or braking.
