Hm.. sorry then. Did a search via Google, scoped down to Pistonheads, for that YouTube URL and repeat instances of "brake" without any luck.

Apologies!

Maybe he needs an auto so he doesn't confuse the brake/clutch!

And in a very short video, we have a demonstration of an issue that cost Audi $millions in the US, except there it was "unintended acceleration" - owners who would swear blind that they had their foot on the brake (when in fact they had their foot on the accelerator) and sued Audi for having a fault on their cars.

No, it was indeed Audi, many years ago.

The Toyota issue was more recent and a different problem.

Audi suffered a similar issue back in the late Eighties/early Nineties, its not a new thing!
