On Thursday March 16th approx around 6 pm, I was driving back home from work. When I tried to stop the car at a stop light (driving approx 40-45 miles/hr speed on a straight road) by pushing the break pedal the vehicle slowed down, but failed to stop completely and continued to roll autonomously at a slower speed. As I continued to push the brake, engine revved up twice spontaneously. I immediately shifted the gear to park and the vehicle stopped. Approx a minute later I shifted back to drive and drove the car home. Next morning I drove the car to Audi dealership and they ran the vehicle diagnostic and identified a faulty abs control module which has since been replaced. Since it involved brake failure and spontaneous acceleration I am submitting the compliant to to NHTSA. I have also sent an email to Audi USA today regarding this. I just took the car back from service today and I will continue to observe for any issues and update NHTSA and Audi USA. Please feel free to contact me should you need any additional information.
