Default Active handling problem

It started Sunday. (My 08 A6) I came to a stop and the brakes locked up, would not let me go. I put in reverse and finally backed up about 5 feet and and then put in foward and finally let go. It happens every time I stop and I can hear the rear brakes rubbing. My active handling flashed in the dic. I understand there is a service bulletin out. Has anyone else had this problem? My car is serious modded and I hope they fix this under warranty.

or see if 'all off' mode helps. hold the t/c button until the a/h t/c disabled message appears. (about 5 seconds).

you need to scan the ABS module for codes and check brake basics eg caliphers sticking
