Default Anyone experience this?

The other night I was slowing down and shifting into neutral, I kept rolling so I started to go again and shifted into second, all of a sudden my car lurched, I thought I may have been hit, but thankfully I wasn't. So I figured okay, I didn't give enough gas and wasn't going fast enough (2-3 mph) should have just stopped and put it into 1st. After that my car went haywire and my electronics all went. ESP turned off, wouldn't go back on, my throttle response was abnormal, it would give gas, than choke, and than give and choke, and my parking break stopped working. I pulled over ASAP and once I shut the car off it was normal again. It has been probably about 250 miles since than, but has anyone ever had this?

Never experienced that. Hopefully, it was just a hiccup. How many miles do you have?

Did you hit the rev limiter maybe, and it went into a tizzy?

Default I think it was just a hiccup, but just checking. I am at about 1150 miles. At the time I was...

probably at around 800 - 900 miles.

No, I didn't come near the rev limiter.

Default Sounds like a software crash! Get it to the dealer asap and let Audi worry about it.

I know that Audi wants to track all A5 issues closely and this also officially logs in your problem on the computer.

Default I do what you did a lot -- crawl to a near halt and while still rolling, take off

in second gear ... its never happened to me before ... i'd be freaked out if it did ... get a dealer to look into it.
