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. In addition to the unintended braking, the vehicle intermittently displays safety system warnings related to driver assistance features.  The failure involves both mechanical and electronic systems, including steering alignment and automatic emergency braking. It's believed that incorrect alignment or suspension issues may be affecting sensor calibration and causing false collision detection.  The car has been inspected multiple times by the dealership, but the issue has not been diagnosed or permanently repaired.  The car's unsafe to operate due to unpredictable braking behavior. The warning signs that the car gives are \u201cTraffic jam assist unavailable\u201d and \u201cSafety system malfunction\u201d while driving.These warning messages and system malfunctions have been occurring intermittently since shortly after purchase in early 2025 and were previously reported to the dealership.  The warnings continued after the incident and are documented with photos taken the following day. The safety systems appear to be unreliable and malfunctioning in real-time operation.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2019","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q7","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]},{"odiNumber":11724609,"manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"03/16/2025","dateComplaintFiled":"03/16/2026","vin":"WA1VAAF79KD","components":"BACK OVER PREVENTION","summary":"The contact owns a 2019 Audi Q7.
