Consumer Description
The vehicle erroneously applies sudden emergency braking (Audi Pre Sense) without conditions warranting system activation. This malfunction occurs at the most dangerous of times, mostly while making left turns. Vehicles behind do not expect the vehicle ahead to suddenly stop which is going to cause an rear-end collision, and the timing for turning across lanes of traffic is leading to the potential front-end collision with opposing traffic. The sudden activation is unbelievably jarring and has caused shoulder and neck pain. This matter has been brought to the attention of the dealer on multiple occasions but codes are not produced for activation and I was told there is no "black box" to look at data history. This issue has been brought to the dealer's attention on 6/1/24, 12/21/24, & 1/2/25. The most recent incident occurred on 4/30/25 at approximately 2:00 P.M. during the same condition of making a left turn.
