Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Rear window on driver's side of vehicle lowers itself 6-inches after vehicle has been parked and locked with fob remote. Has occurred at least once a month since ownership. No dealerships have been able to replicate the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11297986, filed 2020-01, 1,000 miles“There is a recall on some Audi for the trim on the bang & olufsen speakers. Mine are coming off as well and are very sharp and can injure/cut you very easily.”
NHTSA complaint #11397233, filed 2021-02, 18,500 miles“Sos light turned on and has been on for a year. I contacted the dealership and it costs $1300 to repair as the car is out of warranty. Doesn't affect the car safety, but this issue appears to be happening to a lot of Audi A4 cars and I think a recall should be issued to fix this as this does not appear to be a one-off issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11415279, filed 2021-05“The Audi Drive Select transmission function switches to Sports Mode in rain and snow. This makes the vehicle dangerously jumpy in slippery conditions. This has happened to me (I think) three times in the last couple of years, always in rain or snow. My knowledge of the car allowed me to slowly delve into the screen functions to reprogram the transmission while driving in these dangerous conditions, but I don't know if I could always do it again, or if others might find it too confusing in the moment.”
NHTSA complaint #11631789, filed 2024-12“Bang & olufsen trim on front driver's door is peeling off and has cut me a couple of times. I try and push it back onto the door, but it keeps popping off. It is very sharp. Eventually, it broke off and I just stuck it back on the door.”
