Narrative

I described this prior in a complaint from 7/31/26 - 11407511 This was an unassisted rollaway from parking. Car was in park and started drifting I tried to get back in the car and car pinned my leg. On top of this car has had multiple ignition failures. First only one or two at a time prior to accident which would make one believe maybe they were not pressing hard enough on the start button or breaks then up to 15 failed attempts to start. Complained to dealership and then corporate. Provided video to corporate with failed ignition. Corporate technician inspected the car and said it drives fine we cannot replicate the issue. I asked for black box data and was only handled edr data which falsely claims the seat belt was buckled when I was outside the car. This car is hallucinating and the electronic system is failing to recognize the gear the car is in and if a driver is in the seat or not. This is a safety issue and I want NHTSA to Investigate this and audi to buyback the car.
