it was about 20 years earlier, not the 90/100 models, but the Audi Fox
in the 70s; i could be off since i'm not looking it up; i remember my
high school math teacher had one
Did a Google search and it appears to be 82 - 87 Audi 5000.
According to the Wikipedia article I found, at the time NHTSA was
"investigating 50 car models from 20 manufacturers for sudden surges of
power."
If it was "driver error", it was error attributable to poor design of
gas & brake pedals and automatic transmissions.
Audi took the brunt of criticism for what was an industry standard of
poor design.
