Consumer Description

DURING WET WEATHER, THE BRAKES TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO CATCH AFTER THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY NEAR ACCIDENTS SINCE THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOT NORMAL NOR EXPECTED. DRY WEATHER BRAKING IS JUST FINE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND MY DEALER. THEY DO NOT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM YET. I NEED HELP!!
