UNEXPECTED BRAKING. I AT ONCE PULLED OFF THE ROAD INTO A DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK BUT WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE. I EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO STOP THE ENGINE WITH THE SHIFTER STILL IN DRIVE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER 3 DAYS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THAT DIAGNOSTIC TESTS DID NOT REVEAL ANY PROBLEM AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ME AND I AM AWAITING FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM AUDI AND/OR RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN THE SECOND PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST PROBLEM OCCURRED ON THE WAY HOME AFTER PURCHASE.. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS ASKED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER UNDERGOING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE AIR INTAKE MANIFOLD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

ENGINE
ENTERING MY GARAGE, ABOUT HALFWAY IN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD; I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHILE ENTERING AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHED DOWN HARD, THE CAR SKIDDED AND STOPPED; I IMMEDIATELY PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP TO BETWEEN 4000 AND 5000 RPMS, AND THEN QUICKLY DROPPED BACK TO NORMAL IDLE. JUST BEFORE REACHING THE HOUSE AND THE GARAGE INCIDENT, THE CAR MOMENTARILY SPEEDED UP AND THEN CAME BACK TO NORMAL SPEED. I WAS GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND IT ALL HAPPENED SO SUDDENLY I DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE GARAGE INCIDENT THAT I REALIZED WHAT HAD HAPPENED OUT ON THE STREET. *TR
