I just completed my TDI emissions fix. Besides the car behaving horribly after the repair, this recent incident really made me think the car is flat out dangerous.
This incident happened on the highway, I had to accelerate and merge at a higher than normal rate of speed to change lanes. What i found after changing lanes and then subsequently taking my foot off the gas pedal was that the car continued to accelerate! I had to apply the brakes quite heavily to offset the increasing speed of the car(without my foot on the gas pedal the entire time) however the car was fighting the braking and was still trying to accelerate. The braking did offset the acceleration and maintained a level speed but didn't slow down. After awhile the car finally began to slow just the through sheer heavy breaking. After that I continued to drive slowly on the highway without applying hardly any acceleration.
On my return trip, on an empty stretch of highway, I did try heavy acceleration again. The gas pedal did stick again and didn't immediately release back up. This never happened previously pre-fix, where the acceleration was smooth and responsive. Completely un-satisfied.
