May 11, 2026 approx 9:35am.   I was in a flat parking area at a gas station waiting for a friend.  There were 2 other cars parked near me.   No one was in them.  Neither were moving. I backed out of my space into a large, empty, open area to turn my car around to have a better view.  Because the audi pre-sense chronically malfunctions, I always turn it off before I drive.   But I left it on this time because I was only driving about 15 feet in a parking area. I backed out, then stepped on the brake to turn the wheel.  While I was AT A FULL STOP, the seatbelt motor started up loudly and grabbed my chest with the seatbelt, slamming me back against the seat.  No one was there.  No cars were moving.  I was at a stop.  When the seatbelt let me go, I noticed a red lighted image of some sort on the screen.  I believe there was a red star-shaped image and some text indicating a collision.  Then the image disappeared.  I turned off pre-sense and backed into my parking space.   It was painful and frightening - especially as I have osteoporosis.  This car has previously slammed the brakes on an empty road while I was driving 45-50 mph.  Dealer says there are no codes or errors and I need to clean the sensors.   I bought it new.  Likewise, the rear cross-traffic, pedestrian detection etc. rarely works and sometimes fires for no reason.   If the brakes slam when there's a car behind me, I'll be rear-ended.  If the seatbelt slams while I'm on the road, I'll certainly swerve from the discomfort and being startled.  Very dangerous.  NOTE:  My previous report seems to be removed from this website.   Bad idea.

AUDI Q5 2023 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS

Component/System: Engine. The vehicle was destroyed by fire but the remains are available for inspection depending on insurance/salvage status.  Safety risk: Around [XXX] on [XXX], my 2023 Audi Q5 began smoking as I was exiting the vehicle with my [XXX]  daughter and then caught fire and was completely destroyed. This created an immediate risk of serious injury or death to me and my child. I live across from a park and there were many children and families nearby who were at risk as well.   Dealer/service confirmation: I just learned of recall 15ZK (loose cylinder head cover screws/oil leak fire risk) after the fire. I never received a recall notice despite owning an affected vehicle.  Inspections: The incident was responded to by Silver Spring/MCFRS Fire Station 19 along with local police on April 12. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by my insurance company. They are expected to send an inspector on April 13.   Prior warning symptoms: I recently noticed a fuel/burning smell originating from the front of the vehicle. The smell was detectable from outside the car after driving but was not present inside the cabin. No warning lights appeared on the dashboard. The smell persisted for several days prior to the fire without resolving, consistent with the oil leak described in recall 15ZK. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AUDI Q5 2023 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I owned the car for two weeks when I had my dog in the front and it automatic braked going down the freeway. It threw him into the screen and broke it, luckily he was ok. (He was belted in.)   This has happened three more times and been inspected but they are not able to reproduce the problem. This only happens when the dog is in the car with me.  This last time, the dog hit the dash and screen again and broke it, and I had to pay to have it replaced again. (Thankfully dog just fine.)   They keep saying no fault found because they canât get it to do it on their test drives. This is a serious safety issue and could cause an accident by someone rear ending me. The roads arenât wet, and nothing is around when it has happened each time.   They turned down the presensor this time, so i am hoping this helps.
