37 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2022 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 10/10/2022

The issues all relate to Audi's "pre-sense" system. On several occasions the car has either pulled hard and caused me to swerve - apparently incorrectly sensing that I am veering out of my lane - or has stopped suddenly - apparently incorrectly sensing that I was about to hit (or be hit by) something. These incidents have happened on the freeway, narrow mountain roads and side streets. All of these incidents could have caused serious serious bodily injury or death to persons and/or damage to property. I have been in touch with Audi numerous times and they have been unable to correct the issue.

I have experienced two false activation of emergency brakes on my 2021 Q5 in the past 3 months. Both have been very scary incidents for my family - Feb 2022" driving on a highway with no vehicle in front at 60mph, going through a shade under a bridge where emergency brakes false kicked in - 4/30/22 around 2pm: driving on a street with no vehicle in front at 30mph where emergency brakes falsely kicked in.

39 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 03/03/2022

The cars emergency brake system malfunctioned on our 2018 Audi Q5 premium plus, causing the brakes to lock up for no reason while traveling on a busy street at 35 mph. The force of the braking was enough to cause a bruise from the seatbelt. The risk is potential loss of control of the car, especially if this occurred at a higher speed, or being rear ended. We immediately took the car to an Audi dealer who could not id an issue from looking at fault codes. We have been experiencing other bogus warning messages: light system warning (nothing wrong), engine rpm exceeded warnings (engine rpms never close to being exceeded), phone sos errors. No warnings or symptoms regarding the brake system. Dealer says to monitor. We have been driving the car for about a week since, and have not experienced the same issue again.

40 Automatic Emergency Braking problem of the 2018 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 07/28/2021

It says driver system malfunction. Day before that it says auto start and stop malfunction failure. When you are the traffic light and slow down and take a turn then the car gives kinds of couple of pushes as if the it gearbox is not able to adjust the speed automatically . You need to accelerate to keep the balance of the car. Every passenger of the car feel the same. After 2 days I started getting driver system malfunction warning. The car is not safe to drive on highways or local road as gearbox has some issues. There is a class action lawsuit for the similar problem which Audi did not address yet. Https://margarianlaw.

Tl the contact owns a 2018 Audi Q5. The contact stated that the forward collision avoidance system engaged independently on two occasions. On February 12, 2019, while driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle sensed a potential front end collision. The brakes automatically applied and the contact lost control of the vehicle. There were no other vehicles around at the time of the failure and the contact assumed the icy road conditions contributed to the failure. The second incident occurred on March 4, 2019 while idling at a stop light. As the light changed and the preceding vehicle began to accelerate, the forward collision avoidance system engaged. The brakes did not engage; however, a false positive sensor warning was displayed. The second failure was reported to an unknown dealer the same day, but no response was received. The contact stated that the failure was a safety hazard that could result in harm to the vehicle occupants or others.
