1 Service Brakes problem of the 2018 Audi S4

Failure Date: 04/08/2018

The vehicle's pre sense auto-braking and braking alert jolt has been activating erroneously and have almost caused accidents at speed. The system cannot be permanently disabled, it deactivates upon ignition restart. The system has erroneously and aggressively jolted the breaks on several occasions on curves, especially when cresting a hill with vehicles parked on the downward sloap. Clearly, it is mistaken the parked vehicles for a potential impact, either aggressively jolting the breakers and/or breaking. This is not only very frightening but on a slippery surface, would have caused an accident. This feature also activated on the highway at 65+ mph while safely changing lanes, and almost led to my vehicle being rear-ended. There should be a way for a driver to permanently disable or customize this feature to better adapt to environmental and/or unique driver conditions. As is, this feature has been dangerous!.
