“1st- having numerous sensor warning lights coming on at indiscriminate times while highway driving including telling me to put my hands on the wheel when they are on the wheel, cruise control sensor warning comes on and shuts of the cruise control and the lane guidance sensor comes on with warnings. I may get all three warnings appear on one 45 mile trip or I may not get any.sometimes it's the same one 3,4 or even 5 times.. 2nd mmi screen randomly does not come on and having issues after I hang up the phone the radio will not come back on and will continue to show phone in use. …”

“Each time I use cruise control and completely out of the blue, the car will suddenly slow down and an indicator lane light will come on. I never use the lane assist so that is not the problem - I checked that first. Hands are on the wheel, attention is fully on the road and there is no driver error.

This can be scary and very dangerous especially when a car is behind. …”

“The car now has come to an emergency stop twice on two separate occasion's here in Columbia and in Atlanta while I am attempting to cross an intersection or leaving a median lane. The cars safety features stop working at random times and throw several warning signs. Car has lost power while attempting to drive forward and rolls back with an initiates rear view camera. I have taken my vehicle to the Audi Dealership several times over the last year and the problems continue. The customer service has been poor and this car is supposed to be certified and i have had nothing but problems. …”
