I am reaching out to raise a serious safety concern regarding the Audi pre sense feature in 2023 Audi models. This feature has caused sudden, unexpected braking on both freeways and internal roads, creating a significant hazard for drivers and passengers. There appears to be no permanent way to disable this feature, and its malfunction poses a critical risk of causing accidents rather than preventing them. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue and ensure that manufacturers provide a safe and reliable solution, including an option to disable the feature if needed.
Car was parked, no cars or objects within approx. 40 feet (to rear). Started car and placed in reverse. Backed up about 3 feet and brakes activated automatically and fully. Warning lights flashed on the dash. Car was immobilized. Shifted to drive and pulled forward. Shifted to reverse and the same thing occurred again. Repeated two additional times with same result. On the fifth time we backed up normally and without incident. Did not ever shut the ignition off. It was raining at the time.
