My husband test drove a 2015 Audi A7 Prestige at National City Auto Center, 1800 National City Blvd, National City, CA 91950. The brakes are unsafe: the pedal goes all of the way to the floor and the car does not stop immediately when pushed. Front brakes are new, rear brakes are extremely worn, and brake fluid is extremely full. The dealership provided an inspection check list from an undisclosed shop, but the issue persists. The general manager, Karl Albright, refused to acknowledge our concerns. The car has been on the lot for 60+ days, and selling it in this condition is dangerous. The general manager tried to hide the fact that the car had been on the lot so long. I request that authorities review this vehicle before it is sold.
