“I was taking a u-turn under a freeway in my 10 month old Audi Q7. As I was finishing the u-turn a stabilization error message appeared and my brakes went out. I was finishing my uturn and couldn't slow down soi ended up running into the cement barrier with my right back wheel and went onto the feeder. Luckily it was at 5am so no other cars were on the road. Hitting the barrier slowed by car down to 5 MPH. As I straightened out my car, the brakes started working again. I had the car towed to the dealership. The dealership said Audi of america had to look at it. …”
