The only thing that consistently annoys me about my new A6 is the brake pedal. The pedal rubber is sticky enough to catch my shoe soles and so when I want to brake to a stop, movement of the pedal is jerky and hence the car jerks to a stop. As I depress the pedal more, in other cars I have driven, the pedal will slide under my foot, gradually easing the pedal to the floor. In my A6, as the I apply more pressure to the pedal, it will grab my shoe sole, then let go, creating a sudden downward pressure on the pedal, resulting in a sudden increase in braking force.

Has anyone else noticed this? Has anyone arrived at a fix? One pair of shoes I own works well with the brake pedal (that pair of shoes has a soft rubber sole) while the rest of them don't. I'm powerless to brake smoothly with 90% of my shoes - that's really annoying!!!

I had the same problem but it happens less and less. I have 5,000 miles on the car. A dirty pedal works better, I guess...
