Hey, thanks for your reply! It seems that we have a similar problem. Could you happen to remember how much the repair cost you? And have you had any other problems with the car since then? I really want to gather all the information I can before going to a mechanic. Thanks again!

Sure, no problem! So, the repair for the broken accelerator pedal module and the defective interior electronics cost me €265. But I have to say that since the mechanics guys were on it, the throttle valve issue has also been resolved. Since then the car has been running like clockwork again, no more problems. I hope that helps you a bit. Good luck with the mechanic!

Oh, that's really helpful! 265€, that seems fair. I hope my visit to the mechanic goes as smoothly as it did for you. Glad to hear your car is running well again now. I'm off to the garage tomorrow and hope to have some peace of mind afterwards. Your information has already given me a better feeling. Thanks again!

Hey, the exact same thing happened with my 2016 Peugeot 3008 Diesel. The shaking and jerking really drove me crazy too. My suspicion was also the throttle valve, but the mechanic found a faulty accelerator pedal module or broken electronics inside. It was a pretty serious matter because the car was almost undriveable. So I preferred to have it repaired, as I didn't want to end up on the side of the road. Everything is fine now, but you really don't want to go through an experience like that again. In your case, I would recommend a check by a specialist.
