Default A6 2.7t brake issues

When I engage my brakes at all, and I mean AT ALL, it slowly engages the front wheel breaks until I cant drive anymore. I then have to turn the car off and cycle the key a few times to drive again. Does anyone know what's going on or how much it might cost to fix. It doesn't feel safe to drive.

Sounds like a sticking caliper. Figure out which one and replace. Cost is dependent on whether you want new ($$$$$) or used ($$).

You're right, it is not safe to drive like that.

Your caliper slide pins may be in need of a little lubrication.
