Default Q3 Braking Issue

Hi, I just picked up a new 2015 Audi Q3 Prestige loaded with Sports Seats and 19" Wheels loaded! I bought the car for my wife and have been noticing that the brake pedal gets hard at full stops then I have to let go of the brake and I press the brake again and hard pedal goes away. This doesn't happen all the time. But its happening occasionally. Any thoughts? I am bringing it to Audi tomorrow for serivce. It has 1,100 miles.

Just found out that the hard brake pedal happens on full stop when the car is elevated on hill or down hill as part of the Hill assist feature......

Interesting. So a feature, not a bug. Thanks for posting the update. Going to take a look at the manual.

I do notice that ABS is pretty sensitive. Hard braking, not to the point where you feel wheels would lock up, you can feel the ABS system get into action. Annoying.
