My car suffers unintended acceleration.

[Tee-Tom]

I have a low mileage 2008 M3 DCT.
I have a peculiar problem. The car accelerates on its own, sometimes to the red line. when this happens I have to stomp on the brakes to stop it but when it revs very high, the driveline seems to disconnect itself from the engine so car now coasts with a screaming engine.

Now, here is the twist. The car sometimes goes into "Brake and Drive Control Systems Malfunction" mode. With this, it behave better and infact almost normal.

Anybody have any idea what could be wrong? I prefer to have an idea before I take the car in.

I don't know what could be wrong, but this is pretty dangerous. I suggest you'd bring it to a stealership asap to get this sorted out. Be careful!

Mine does the same thing. I think its that damn VF650 under the hood. On a serious note, get that checked asap.

Thanks.
