Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The car occasionally does not respond to pushing the pedal to accelerate. The first time it happened, I though it was user error after sitting at a light. Well within the same 30 minutes it happened again entering a carwash. Today I was sitting at a light waiting for it to turn green. Once green, I pushed the accelerator to go and the car would not accelerate. This is the second time in two weeks and approximately fifth time since I purchased the car in October 2023. No dashboard warning prior to this.”

“First time in November the sign came on that there was an electrical system failure. We took the car to the shop, in Audi Raleigh and they said that they fixed the issue. Although, we had to wait for an available appointment for over a month. This time, after 3 months, the same sign came on, electrical system failure, plus all wheel drive faiture.

“I was driving on the interstate freeway in normal conditions when my 2022 Audi E-tron suddenly showed a message Electrical system malfunction! and lost all power to the motors. Thankfully I was in the rightmost lane already and I was able to steer and coast over to the shoulder even while pressing the gas pedal had no effect. If I had been in another lane it could have led to a major accident if my car stalled in the middle of a busy freeway. I had the vehicle towed to the local Audi dealer service center, but so far they have not been able to diagnose the problem.”

Had to turn power off to vehicle and back on for vehicle to accelerate. This has happened twice almost resulting in being rear ended and being stuck in traffic.”

“With less than 32,000 miles and approximately 1.5years of ownership, this brand new 2021 Audi Etron began having major electrical malfunctions. This was first noted as sudden inability to properly accelerate on the highway and an electrical system malfunction warning light on the dashboard. It was delivered to the Audi dealership service department where it was diagnosed as needing a brand new rear motor. Within 45 days of this repair being completed I again got the same electrical system malfunction warning light. It was taken to another dealership service department. …”
