2017 Audi Q5 Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1643719
Internal NHTSA #	11308697
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	Q5
Model Year	2017
File date	12/02/20
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Front brakes appear to squeak loudly after initiation with moisture; more seriously there is considerable locking/sliding of the brakes when attempting to stop on snow and ice -- at a more dangerous distance than our other 2 vehicles in similar situations. Vehicle (2017 q5) has 22k miles with the abs system/tires appearing to be in good working order. My wife and i have used multiple stopping techniques (pumping brakes, applying soft pressure, and also hard pressure) with the same result: on 2 occasions the vehicle essentially locked up and slid 1/2 way through an intersection. Fortunately no pedestrians/vehicles were nearby. I read several blogs regarding this with other owners citing the same problems. There appears to be vw/audi observances regarding issues with 2018 vehicles with the lack of either a supplier-deficient caliper spray/loose bolt in the front braking area. We are kindly asking to review this situation to determine if others have reported the same problem. We will also be asking our dealer to fully inspect the vehicle. We are aware that snow/ice represent challenges -- but this vehicle has scared my wife/i multiple times by not stopping within a reasonable distance despite the adverse conditions.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
