I may get all three warnings appear on one 45 mile trip or I may not get any.sometimes it's the same one 3,4 or even 5 times.. 2nd mmi screen randomly does not come on and having issues after I hang up the phone the radio will not come back on and will continue to show phone in use. …”

NHTSA complaint #11278751, filed 2019-11, 600 miles

Engine: “2019 Audi A7: at a stoplight, or stop sign, where there is even the slightest incline, after my 2019 Audi A7 has come to a complete stop, and the engine shuts off, when I remove my foot from the brake to engage the gas pedal, the engine does not engage immediately and the car shoots/rolls backwards. The rollback is significant enough that the rear camera turns on. …”

NHTSA complaint #11190060, filed 2019-03, 100 miles

Transmission and drivetrain: “2019 Audi A7 has throttle lag and at times severe throttle lag causing a multi second delay that put me in in the path of oncoming traffic with a near hit. At the time of this incident, the throttle lag had never been that severe but has resulted in a vehicle that I have no confidence in with respect to performance. Details: I was slowing down (1mph) and as the lane next to me cleared, I attempted to change lanes but there was like a 3 second delay. I'd thought the car had stalled and then it lunged into the adjacent lane and I almost was hit. …”

NHTSA complaint #11280040, filed 2019-11, 2,500 miles

Other or unknown: “Yesterday morning, while driving north on I-35 to work, there was a loud pop from directly above my windshield. This scared me to death! The sound was so frightening that I ducked and for a moment, I thought I had been involved in a wreck but quickly noticed nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. Typically, traffic is very heavy, only moving about 20mph. However, on this particular morning, traffic was somewhat lighter and moving about 40mph. I had clear visibility across the front window and could tell that nothing had flown in my direction. …”
