Description of the problem	I was driving 65 miles an hour on i-95 in the left lane approaching the exit for i-695 north on saturday, january 4th at 5:00pm. It was raining. No one was in front of me or behind me when my car dash lit up with an audi pre sense red sign on a black background. The brakes stopped the car suddenly on their own and my seat belt slammed me tightly into my seat. Fortunately no one was behind me or this could have caused a multi car accident. There was nothing visible on the road to set this system off. Monday morning i went to the dealer to see if they could disconnect this system since i was now afraid this would happen again and i would not be so lucky with the traffic situation the next time. They lowered the sensitivity but they could not disconnect the system. I also called audi to inform them about this hazard. They noted it on their record but said it is part of the car and it could not be disconnected. When i looked on line there were many complaints about this problem; however none of the other drivers were on the open highway full speed ahead. Can this problem be looked into before someone's car causes a major pileup with serious injuries. Thank you! *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
