2024 Audi Q5 E

I purchased the car in October, 2023. The problem first happened in October, 2025 and not happened just once. The vehicle breaks unnecessarily and violently without any warning. Additionally the pre-sense collision indicator light displays when there is no apparent person, vehicle or object in the vicinity of the vehicle. The abrupt breaking is the most concerning since it has happened multiple times and at one point, I was in the middle of an intersection making a left turn into a shopping center on a busy street. There were cars coming in the distance but far enough away that it should not have stopped. Luckily they were far enough away that they could see me stopped because I could not get the car to move until I put the car in park and then back into drive. Additionally, there were cars behind me which could have easily rear ended me due to the unexplained abrupt stop. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer for the issue and they were not able to recreate the problem. They told me they changed some settings on the sensors and to keep the outside sensors clean. I keep my car very clean and do not live in an area where debris would accumulated on the sensors to create a problem. The adjustments they made did not help and I still experience the problems. I will be taking it back to the dealer again to report it again to them. At this point I do not feel safe driving the car and will express that to the dealer when I take it in.

I want to report a very serious problem I had yesterday with my Audi Q5e 2024 with 5,000 miles as I’m coming home on the freeway during rush hour my car started slowing down and then came to a dead stop in the middle of the freeway not to mention the car was frozen and would not move I’m scared to drive this car at this point and lucky I was not hit from behind and killed, the vehicle had to be flat bed towed to Fletcher Jones Audi Costa Mesa after sitting on the freeway scared to death waiting for a tow truck. This must to corrected by Audi as I have never had a vehicle lock up and will not move all by its self.
