I will begin with the A310-325 approaching CDG years ago.
Capturing G/P from above the plane overspeeded the flaps placard, obviously, THE SMART COMPUTER decided it is a go-around so throttles up, and nose-up trim!
The dummy in the L/H site pressed the yoke, and pressed the yoke and...
---> THE SMART COMPUTER trimmed further nose up, and trimmed...
What a load of nonsense.... The computer didn't decide to go-around, it reverted to LVL CHG as advertised. Nothing to do with landing or going around. The computer didn't trim; according to the incident report the A/C was trimmed by one of the yoke switches.

Don't blame Airbus computers for everything. They do not decide to go around, and they do not simply trim full nose up 'cause they feel like it.
