FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Vehicle performs a complete stop in the middle of a drive on the freeway. I loose sight of where I am going due to this sudden break, without knowing the UNKNOWN OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN. The vehicle has been inspected by Audi dealership over four times for this issue, in which they are not resolving this problem and stating nothing has been discovered by the scanner. The only message followed by the immediate breaking is ,"Emergency Assist: Cancelled". I have been denied a buyback two times because it's not considered a "repair". They are not taking my situation and safety concern seriously and I am hopeless.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

The MMI infotainment head unit reboots spontaneously and repeatedly while the vehicle is in operation. The screen freezes, goes black, and restarts, reliably within 7-8 minutes of completing the previous boot. This repeats continuously for the duration of any drive. I have verified this is not related to a connected phone. I tested with three different phones on three different operating systems, and with no phone connected and powered off entirely. The reboot cycle occurs identically in all cases, whenever the vehicle is running. The critical safety failure: if the vehicle is placed in reverse near the time of a reboot, the crash disables all Parking Assist functions. The rear backup camera becomes fully inoperable while the vehicle is actively backing up, and the side cameras are sometimes lost as well. The Parking Assist system, including the backup camera, remains offline until the vehicle is shut off and left sitting for 15 to 30 minutes. There is no warning before this occurs. This means the federally mandated rear visibility system can and does fail without warning during the exact maneuver it exists to make safe. I have video documenting the backup camera being disabled while reversing. The vehicle has been to the dealer for these concerns. A software update was performed per Audi TSB on 3/27/2026 (RO 356075) and did not resolve the issue. The vehicle was diagnosed again 7/1/2026 through 7/9/2026 (RO 361320) and the dealer was unable to duplicate the concerns at that time. The reboot behavior has since become continuous and reproducible.

POWER TRAIN

The contact owns a 2024 Audi A5. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power with an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and the parking brake actuator was replaced; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the brake pedal was loose while depressed. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer, where the parking lock solenoid (N486) was replaced; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the loose brake pedal failure. No additional repair was performed. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer a third time and the Selector Lever Sensor System Control Module (J587) was replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle had not been driven since the third repair, and that the contact was fearful of driving the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and the case went to arbitration. The manufacturer's lawyer informed the contact that the failure was due to normal transmission wear and tear. The failure mileage was 22,916.
