2019 Audi Q7 Forward collision avoidance Problems

“Forward collision engaged on a highway with no other vehicles or obstacles near. Brakes slammed on, and vehicle came to a complete stop in the roadway.”

“Faulty radar sensors and automatic emergency breaking system issues transmission problems (e.g. Hesitation on acceleration, failure to accelerate, jerking, shuddering, revving, surging, slipping, etc.) engine problems (e.g. Leaks, illumination of the check engine light, whining noise from the engine area, loss of power, stalling, rough running, etc.) electrical problems (e.g. Failure to start, door locks malfunction, illumination of the airbag warning light, steering system malfunctions, bluetooth, screen malfunction etc.) suspension problems excessive oil consumption steering system problems”

“The problem occurs when making a left-hand turn. I'm in the left-hand turn lane waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. When it is clear, I proceed with my left-hand turn. After a short distance, the Forward Collision Warning indicator flashes, the brakes are applied very hard, and the car stalls. I am often left in the oncoming lane, with a stalled car. I have to put it in park, start it then put it into drive to move forward again. This takes a bit of time. …”

“The auto brake suddenly braked hard and it was scary. The car reported a collision warning red light for a few seconds. Luckily, there was no car close behind me. While I was driving at about 70 miles per hour on the highway, there was no car in front of me to worry about. There was probably a car driving in the next lane. After the sudden brake, everything seemed to be back to normal. This type of sudden auto brake happened once in late 2019, on a local drive, I thought it was a falling leaf or something. But this time on the highway, there was nothing in front the car.”

“My car has experienced unintended automatic emergency braking while driving in active traffic with no obstruction present. This created a serious risk of a rear-end collision from vehicles behind. Prior to this, the car had ongoing alignment and steering issues beginning shortly after purchase. The car consistently pulls while driving and has required multiple repair attempts, including alignments and inspections of steering and suspension components. These repairs have not resolved the issue. The problem appears to be worsening. …”
