Audi V8

The vehicle exhibits multiple, unresolved safety-critical defects across software and mechanical systems that create an unpredictable and dangerous driving environment. Despite multiple repair attempts, the manufacturer has failed to certify the vehicle as safe for operation.  1. Critical ADAS Failures (Forward Collision/Lane Keeping): Automatic Emergency Braking (Pre-Sense): The vehicle suffers from unprompted alerts and phantom braking incidents, creating an immediate risk of rear-end collisions.  Lane Keeping Assistance: The system has experienced unexpected steering pull, which could lead to an unprompted lane departure.  Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): The system consistently fails to detect lead vehicles in 40% to 50% of instances. The most recent failure was documented via timestamped screenshot on May 12, 2026, around 4:07 PM PT. This defect is reproducible and renders the automated safety suite unreliable.  2. Powertrain & Mechanical Defects: Pneumatic Air Leaks: The vehicle exhibits 100% pneumatic air leaks during acceleration. The service center has dismissively characterized a total pneumatic system failure as "normal," which I find technically unacceptable and a sign of neglected mechanical integrity.  3. Electrical & Starting System: Recurring Ignition Failures: The vehicle has experienced multiple failures to start, most recently leaving my child and me stranded for 10 minutes.  Safety & Use Impairment: These intermittent failures compromise the vehicle's utility and the safety of my family.  Incident History: The first time this occurred, I called Audi Roadside Assistance, but the engine started approximately 30 minutes later; as a result, I do not call roadside assistance now when it happens and instead attempt to restart it repeatedly.  Current Status: I am forced to drive the car in a constant dilemma, knowing it might fail at any time and leave me stranded.

AUDI Q5 2024 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

21 Dec 2025 11,743 miles Audi Pre-sense slammed on the brakes while waiting to make a left. Pointing downhill slightly. No cars in the way. Turned it off completely. Was on the the Late setting. Will not stay off.

AUDI Q5 2024 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Audi has a pre-sense mechanism that cannot be permanently turned off. I have almost been hit three times when the Audi brakes FOR NO REASON at all; people almost rear-end me because the Audi comes to an immediate halt.  And there is no reason for the pre-sense to engage when it does go off.  They are flukes.  I am going to get seriously injured.

The following problem happened 3 times.  I was making a right hand turn with plenty of clearance when the car seized.  Engine shut down, lights on dash said MALFUNCTION and many other lights lit.  Oncoming traffic approached and nearly smashed into my car.  This also happened making a left turn at a traffic light after a stop at a red light.  The other incident was in bumper to bumper traffic in a rain storm.
