This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Passenger front brake pad sepatated from the metal backing plate while within service specification (0.25 in of pad) and resulted in long braking distances and greatly reduced pedal pressure. Pedal pressure could not be recovered under repetitive brake actuations. The car became unsafe to operate at any speed. There was no warning before the failure. Audi of America refuses to replace the defective part under Audi assured warranty stating that this is not related to a manufacturers defect.
