I wonder if this applies to me… I had a 2018 A5, driving about 40 mph, a car turned right before I crossed the crosswalk, the automatic break system never fired up to stop me from hitting to other car, or at least not hitting it as hard. Would this count as an example of the system failing? Or just me failing at driving?

Just read it a couple of times and I think the settlement basically reimburses any money spent prior to May 15, 2024 which means no new repairs. However, folks with expired warranty within 12 months get an additional 6 month warranty on behalf of VW

[QUOTE=mikesvwservice;25908449]Today, I received an Audi AEB Settlement "reimbursement claim form".
AEB is "Automatic Emergency Braking" system.I've not had any problems with my braking, but I don't drive my Audi very much either...
There is a website to see if your VIN is within the class action settlement (mine was):AEBSettlement.com Hope this helps out![/QUOTE]

My vehicle also was verfied: "Your VIN has been identified as a Settlement Class Vehicle."

My A4 has had some weird braking actions, ie: a warning message coming on in the virtual cockpit and the car stopping and seatbelts tightening when I was 30 feet behind the car in front of me. This used to happen in my early ownership years, but not lately. I never had any repairs done, and had no out-of-pocket expense.

Now what?

I have a 2019 RS5 and about 3 weeks ago I started to get a tone and message with a big yellow (!) on my dash. This happens every time I start the car. It says the system has malfunctioned. The parking button on my dash also blinks red. I have to press the park button to turn the blinking off, then manually turn it back on to get the front view when parking.

I got the same AEB notice and my VIN is included.

[QUOTE=A4Driver;25909338]Same. The pre-sense is random and will slam the brakes on me when the on-coming car is like miles away from me or the seatbelt will choke me back randomly when a car drives pass me too close. It's kind of scary when this happens in the middle of an intersection, but it's more annoying and embarrassing than anything. What I wish this letter was about was the faulty water pump that I had to spend 2k to replace and fix. For some dumb reason, my 2018 S5 was not included in that class action settlement which I'll forever be pissed off over.

I just opened mine, I thought the letter was regarding a bankruptcy settlement for an investment I made... i.e. "you get nothing", so I didn't open it until just a second ago. My pre-sense has periodically been acting up for a while, going off in random stop and go traffic. I'd been considering taking the car into the dealer to get it recalibrated along with the sensors which are way too sensitive, but I'd seen some quote estimates on how much a calibration ran and figured it wasn't that big of a deal.

According to the letter, they will reimburse you up to 75%, for repairs related to AEB. If your warranty has expired you have 6 months after the notice to get your AEB repaired in order to get that 75% and if you warranty is current and you already paid for the repairs, they will reimburse you. It's odd they have a reimbursement form and final approval of the case won't be ratified until June 17th. It's odd that Audi isn't directly reimbursing the dealer/service shop, but making the consumer front the bill and get reimbursed.

First of all, what do they do to diagnose it? And what do they do to “fix” it? Is it a firmware update? Camera/sensor replacement? Recalibration? What are the updated part numbers, if any?

Like many others, I have had occasional false positives. Maybe a coincidence, but it seems to dislike approaching Teslas from behind. I have also had the “pre-sense disabled” message a couple times, temporarily, which I am guessing means t detected an internal fault.

This is how the problem appears on my car:
