In a review study published in 2012, NHTSA summarized its past findings about the Audi unintended acceleration problems: “Once an unintended acceleration had begun, in the Audi 5000, due to a failure in the idle-stabilizer system (producing an initial acceleration of 0.3g), pedal misapplication resulting from panic, confusion, or unfamiliarity with the Audi 5000 contributed to the severity of the incident.”
This summary is consistent with the conclusions of NHTSA’s most technical analysis at the time: “Audi idle-stabilization systems were prone to defects which resulted in excessive idle speeds and brief unanticipated accelerations of up to 0.3g [which is similar in magnitude to an emergency stop in a subway car]. These accelerations could not be the sole cause of [(long-duration) sudden acceleration incidents (SAI)], but might have triggered some SAIs by startling the driver. The defective idle-stabilization system performed a type of electronic throttle control. Significantly: multiple “intermittent malfunctions of the electronic control unit were observed and recorded … and [were also observed and] reported by Transport Canada.” dodge wallpapers, audi wallpaper, volvo wallpapers, Audi wallpapers, pagani wallpapers
(Mitsubishi Evo)The 5-speed automatic gearbox had what Mitsubishi called “fuzzy logic”, which meant that the car would learn what the driver’s driving characteristics were like and would adapt the gear change timings and kick down reactions accordingly. The gears could be manually selected as with most Tiptronics via steering wheel + and ? buttons (a pair both sides) or via selecting the tiptronic gate with the gear lever. Power was down a little from the standard manual cars with 272 PS (200 kW; 268 hp). The GT-A gearbox did not appear again in the Evolution VIII but has been installed in the estate version of the Evolution IX Wagon. It was replaced by the Twin Clutch SST gearbox since the introduction of Evolution X. Mitsubishi Evo wallpapers#Pontiac #LamborghiniMiura #Bentley #bmw #AudiRS3
