I have just had the most alarming experience in just over 50 years of motoring. Having taken delivery of a 407SW last Wednesday I had become accustomed to the smooth and peaceful progress around the Cotwolds , aided by the excellent auto box. Today, for the first time I floored the accelerator and the surge of power was quite agreeable, now the problem, when I lifted my foot off the pedal, the engine stayed at full power, necessitating a very heavy and extended push on the brakes to slow it down followed by repeated stabbings on the accelerator pedal. After what seemed an eternity the wretched car returned to normal. It was better luck than judgment that nothing was in the way at the time, since stopping would have been very difficult, since if I had just turned off the engine the brake assistance would disappear.
Five minutes later I found and empty road and again floored the accelerator, with exactly the same result.
Please has anyone else had this problem, for since I have only had the car 5 days I do not wish to dump it, but I do not wish to get behind the wheel again until the local Peugeot dealer has eaxmined it, fitted new parts and road tested it under the same conditions.[/color]
