Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While the car is in motion my car will sometime stop and say breaking engaged while the car is moving. This has happened to me three times. The car will stop in traffic, the windows will roll completely up, the sunroof will close and the radio will turn completely down. No one is walking near my car at the time. This will happen in the process of me driving in the middle of the road. I'm checking to see if there's any recalls or has anyone else experiencing the same issues with their Audi A7”
NHTSA complaint #11151290, filed 2018-11, 75 miles“While rolling to a stop at a left hand turn signal automatic gas saver feature turned vehicle off or defaulted prior to the vehicle coming to a complete halt. Automatic gas saver feature turns engine off at a stop to save idling emissions and fuel consumption. Vehicle froze, brakes were hard, steering locked and car very slowly rolled into vehicle in front. Air bags did not deploy possibly because vehicle was completely off. This happened three times in 22,000 miles only when the automatic gas saver feature is on. The first time no fault message/code was noted due to panic. …”
