Looks like we might have our first major problem with fly-by-wire.

Thsi is old news, i did a post about this problem months ago.

I got my car in Februrary and with the first few weeks had this problem. Went back to dealer 4 times any they couldn't fix it. Eventually it gave up whilst i was driving on the freeway leaving me stranded, dealer had the car towed, after a few days they found it to be a faulty sensor on the pedal.
