Narrative

Re; Audi Q4 etron vin [XXX] On XXX while on my driveway, approaching the garage, a sound came from the dashboard, a written message appeared on the screen, and almost simultaneously the car suddenly accelerated, going thru the partially open garage door, hitting the left side of the car already parked on the right side of the garage, and hitting the central air conditioning unit in front of it, damaging both cars, the air conditioning unit, garage cabinets, sink, and shelving. We have asked Audi to look into the car’s computer/recorder to see what information they can extract without avail. We recognize that some cases of unexpected unintended acceleration may actually be driver error, and we thought that Audi would be more interested in investigating this issue than we would be. Audi's position was essentially that since our insurance company had paid us for the damaged cars nothing more needed to be done. We thought that before this car is taken apart, it would be important to find whether or not this was truly unintended acceleration. [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
