Hello All,

I am new to Audi and I have come across something that has been bugging me. when my car sits for 5+ hours(in the morning and when i leave work mostly) i go to start the car and the brake pedal is stiff as a board, when the pedal is stiff like that and i go to start the car, i press the brake pedal to start the car the EPC light comes on and the rpm fluctuates in the low rpm range. is this normal? am i not pressing the brake hard enough? the only thing that fixes it is turning the car off and turning it back on then the brake pedal seems to free up and i am able to push it down all the way and start the car with no problem.

Just wondering if this is a problem or just something i will have to live with.

car is 2011 certified pre-owned with about 13k miles

Thank you,
Matt
