Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My dashboard VIN plate was destroyed when the windshield was being replaced. I’ve been trying to get Audi to send me a new VIN since October 23, almost 6 months ago. They assigned an executive case manager 2 months ago but that’s accomplished nothing. The vehicle is out of compliance with federal law without a VIN plate and I cannot trade or sale the car. Please help me.”
NHTSA complaint #11731416, filed 2026-04“I am not sure of what happened and I am not seeing any remedy also in the finding. My car has been idle since May 7th and hence please help me in resolving it as the recall status says that remedy not available.”
NHTSA complaint #11662699, filed 2025-05“When the hatchback on this car has been open on at least 8 ocassions it has automatically peeped and began to close on me while, for example I was leaning into the back putting in or taking out groceries. This car has rear bumper sensor to allow one to open the hatch with your foot. This sensor is on the left end of the bumper. My feet have never been near the sensor when this has happened, this hatch has also closed on my husband so I dont feel it something unique that I am doing.”
NHTSA complaint #11574403, filed 2024-02“My wife was pulling into a parking spot when all of a sudden the cars engine accelerated causing the car to jump one curb, hit a step and striking a pole before finally the brakes stopped the car from going through a storefront. None of the safety crash features stopped the vehicle. My wifes foot was on the brake, not the accelerator. Previously we had the vehicle in for service to reset the computer that kept freezing. Unfortunately we did not research Audi in detail before we bought. …”
