THE THERMOMETER IN MY CAR REPORTED AN AMBIENT EXTERIOR TEMPERATURE OF BETWEEN 4 AND 8 F.  THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH WAS IN THE STANDBY POSITION BUT CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ACTIVATED.  I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR WAS MAINTAINING SPEED WITHOUT DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.  IN FACT, WHEN TRAVELING ON LEVEL GROUND, THE CAR ACCELERATED TO 80 MPH UNTIL I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL.  THE TACHOMETER REPORTED A CONSTANT ENGINE SPEED OF 2400 RPM WITH NO PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.  I ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE SPEED BY ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING CRUISE CONTROL, WHICH DID NOT RESPOND AT ALL.  I NEXT TAPPED THE BRAKES TO SEE IF THIS WOULD DISENGAGE A POTENTIAL CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTION, AGAIN TO NO AVAIL.  THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS FREE OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS AND MOVED FREELY UNDER MY FOOT.      AS I APPROACHED THE TOLL PLAZA, I REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT BRAKE PRESSURE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH.  WITH FULL BRAKE FORCE, THE VEHICLE WOULD SLOW TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH BUT WOULD NOT STOP.  I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND THE CAR STOPPED BUT THE ENGINE REVVED IN EXCESS OF 6,000 RPM.  I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF.  UPON RESTARTING THE CAR, THE IDLE SPEED WAS NORMAL.  THINKING THAT THE PROBLEM WAS ICING AND NOW RESOLVED, I CONTINUED INTO PHILADELPHIA WITHOUT INCIDENT.    UPON MY RETURN TO ALLENTOWN THE SAME NIGHT (APPROXIMATELY 10:30 PM), ALSO ON ROUTE 476, I EXPERIENCED ANOTHER EPISODE OF A STUCK ACCELERATOR.  I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT 65 MPH FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHEN THE PROBLEM RECURRED.  THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS 3 F AND THE ENGINE SPEED MAINTAINED 1800 ? 2000 RPM WITHOUT ANY ACCELERATOR PEDAL PRESSURE.  AGAIN, IN ORDER TO STOP THE CAR, I HAD TO PLACE THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL AND QUICKLY TURN OFF THE IGNITION KEY TO AVOID FURTHER ENGINE DAMAGE.    *NM","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"1999","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"A6","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
