SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

On XXX, I experienced a sudden, potentially catastrophic failure of multiple critical safety systems in my Audi Q8 e-tron while traveling southbound on [XXX] near [XXX], at approximately 70 mph in heavy traffic. Without warning, the vehicle began beeping and displayed malfunction warnings for both the braking system and emergency braking system. I immediately pressed the brake pedal, but **the brakes did not respond and I was unable to slow or stop the vehicle using the brake pedal.** At approximately the same time, the vehicle experienced multiple additional system malfunctions: - The power steering assistance failed, making the vehicle significantly more difficult to steer. - The digital instrument display malfunctioned. - The vehicle would not shut down despite my attempts to turn it off. - The emergency braking system displayed a malfunction warning, leaving me without confidence that the vehicle's emergency braking capabilities were operational. **I was traveling at approximately 70 mph on a crowded interstate with no functioning braking response and severely impaired vehicle control.** I feared for my life and for the safety of surrounding motorists. I managed to exit [XXX], but the dangerous condition persisted. As I approached the traffic light at the end of the exit ramp, I nearly collided with multiple vehicles because the brakes would not respond. I subsequently encountered two additional traffic lights while attempting to reach the Audi dealership, with the braking problem continuing throughout the drive. This was not a momentary warning or isolated malfunction. I experienced an extended loss of essential vehicle control functions, creating repeated risks of serious or fatal collisions involving myself and other motorists. I ultimately reached Audi Hilton Head in [XXX], where the vehicle was left for evaluation. The vehicle should be available for inspection through the deale INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Electrical vehicle started displaying electrical malfunction issue since December 2025, at the time Audi San Juan said there was not fix available at the time. Finally I was told that an issue fix was available, took it back in May and they said it was fixed but it wasn't. Waited for another appointment available for them to have a loner vehicle available. Took it back on June 3rd and finally on June 22nd they said that the issue detected was one of the cells in the battery ha gone bad. Unfortunately the part was on back order and Germany could not confirm when it could be sent. Part was finally received on September 3rd, today I received a call that the part did not fix the issue and they need to check with Germany how to proceed next. So short story this issue started since Dec 2025, From Dec 50 June I was driving a vehicle that was not deemed safe. It's been in the shop for 3 months and I still do not know when I am getting my vehicle back. My car is a lease and all extended warranties were purchased. Currently is has about 32K miles

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY

While traveling on a major freeway between 65mph and 70mph, vehicle alarms started sounding and numerous alarm / warning messages appeared on the dashboard display, while at the same time, the automatic door opening mechanism (e-latch system) unlatched and partially opened the driver’s side door. The partial opening of the door at high speed is hazardous, and could also cause a major distraction, resulting in a crash and/or danger to others in the vehicle and/or on the highway. The vehicle is currently being inspected at a dealership. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The warning lamps, messages or other symptoms as described appeared during the incident as described.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

On [XXX] about [XXX], I was driving my 2024 Audi Q8 e-tron Premium Plus (VIN [XXX]) in a private parking garage while on the clock for work. I had just left a work meeting and was traveling back to my office. I was backing out of a parking space next to a concrete column when my passenger-side mirror contacted the column. The vehicle’s proximity sensors beeped, which appeared normal. I then pulled forward slowly to straighten the vehicle and assess the mirror. My foot was initially on the accelerator because I was attempting to move forward slowly. The vehicle suddenly jerked and accelerated extremely rapidly and unexpectedly. I immediately moved my foot completely from the accelerator to the brake. I am certain I was not touching the accelerator. The brake pedal felt normal, but the vehicle continued accelerating and would not stop. The vehicle struck a second concrete column approximately one parking space away with substantial force. The impact stopped the vehicle. The vehicle remained powered on after the collision. There was no apparent collision-assistance intervention. I did not observe a brake-system or collision-assistance warning immediately before the event. I was not yet wearing my seatbelt because I was still maneuvering out of the parking space. My head struck the rearview mirror during the collision, causing an avulsion wound to my forehead requiring stitches. I was treated in the ER, underwent CT imaging, and was kept overnight for observation. After the crash, I discovered that my exact VIN has an unrepaired NHTSA safety recall 26V240 / Audi 46P7, issued April 15, 2026. The recall concerns the brake pedal input rod/brake booster actuator rod connection, which may disconnect and result in loss of normal braking. I received the recall letter in April but had not yet had an opportunity to take the vehicle to Audi before the crash. letter did not instruct me not to drive the vehicle. I’m concerned the defect caused the acciden INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA),
