| Description of the problem | On monday 3/9/2020 around 6:45pm edt, i was driving in a residential zone approx. 25-30 mph. I approached a stop sign and pressed the brake to stop the car. The car slowed slightly but did not stop, despite my intense pressure on the brake pedal. Instead, the engine revved spontaneously several times and i proceeded half-way through the (thankfully empty) intersection. I confirmed i was in regular drive gear (not the semi-manual mode), then quickly put the car in park to stop the vehicle, but the engine continued to rev. I turned the ignition off and back on, then continued driving without further incident. That night, i searched online and found another customer reported a nearly identical experience with a 2017 audi q5 on march 16 2017 (brakes failed problem). That customer's dealer found a fault with the abs brake module, which was repaired. I took my car to an audi dealer (zip code 48301) the following day but they were unable to find any "faults" and therefore make any repairs. The vehicle is 2017 with approx. 17k miles, still under oem warranty. |
