Severe brake squeeling when backing up and moving forward at low speeds. Progressively getting worse. Dealer has tried several fixes (cleaning) to no avail. My concern (other than the hurting the ears of by standers) is further brake performance degradation.

I was traveling on the interstate and had to brake. As soon as I hit the brake pedal it fell to the floor and I fortunately was able to swerve to the shoulder and after hitting the brakes a few times them came back. About a week later my wife and kids experienced the same issue, again avoiding an accident. This seems like a common problem with posts on Audi forum. They offered an extension on the vehicle warranty but that doesn't prevent someone getting killed due to malfunctioning brakes.
