Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR IN MY WORK PARKING LOT WHEN A LOUD BEEP OCCURRED AND MY CAR ISSUED A WARNING FOR "PARKING BREAK MALFUNCTION." TWO LIGHTS, ESC AND ABS ALSO LIT UP WHEN THE BEEP SOUNDED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED DRIVING, ENGAGED THE PARKING BRAKE (WHICH WORKED) AND DISENGAGED IT. I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THE CAR AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH FOUND THAT THE BRAKE MODULE AND MMI BOTH HAD BEEN UPGRADED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. I CONTINUED TO WITNESS THESE SYMPTOMS AND AM WAITING FOR MY DEALERSHIP TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. I HAVE READ ENOUGH CONSUMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM TO KNOW THAT AUDI SHOULD TAKE A DEEPER LOOK INTO IT.
