Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The auto uses the Audi MMI system which controls basic functions such as radio, navigation, etc. The MMI in our car has randomly been crashing, which most importantly shuts down navigation at VERY inopportune times! I have read about this in a number of forums, and have tried various ways of resetting the system, but the problem persists. The forums suggest this is a common issue with this generation MMI.”
NHTSA complaint #11663229, filed 2025-05“Audi mmi/infotainment reboots repeatedly while driving. It removes my attention from driving and is extremely distracting. Also fails when backing up and back up camera goes black. I have not taken to a dealer as this has been a frequent problem among other 2020 Audi owners.”
NHTSA complaint #11673855, filed 2025-07“I own a 2020 Audi and have been experiencing a persistent and widespread issue with the MMI (Multi Media Interface) system. While driving, the MMI randomly shuts down and reboots multiple times during a single trip. This happens whether or not I have any devices connected via Bluetooth, USB, or Apple CarPlay. The shutdowns are completely unpredictable and can occur at any time, causing the loss of navigation, audio, backup camera, and parking sensors. Sometimes, I receive warnings about user profiles or that the sensors have stopped working. …”
NHTSA complaint #11668502, filed 2025-06“Vehicle info system (MMI) unexpectedly and repeatedly reboots, affecting rear backup camera and parking assist radar functions at critical moments in addition to navigation and other vehicle functions. In addition to the safety issue with the rear camera and radar failing unexpectedly, the reboot creates distraction for the driver.”
NHTSA complaint #11670180, filed 2025-06“2020 A4 Allroad MMI staring to crash/restart randomly during drive every 5-10min and sometimes back to back crashes for 3-4 times. During this time, no call can be made, no navigation, and no backup camera / backup warning/ backup cross traffic alarm. The issue emerged sometime in February or March 2025.”
