1 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 11/12/2025

Traffic stopped very quickly. The automatic breaking did not engage, resulting in a crash and a total loss of the vehicle. I bought the Audi due to quality safety features so this incident was very disappointing and costly for our family.

2 Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2023

We were driving today at around 11:30am and all of a sudden the “Audi presense” light came on at the same time the car brakes abruptly slowed down the car for about 5 seconds or so and then released. Today is a beautiful sunny day and there were no vehicles anywhere or anything in roadway on the road we were traveling on. The jerking /abrupt slowdown really surprised us. We will go to Audi dealer ASAP but now we don’t trust when it will happen again. A car could have hit us from behind.
