Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The trunk lid has opened on its own while I was driving on the highway in the night time, some small cargo (made of plastic) fell out of the trunk and was destroyed by the traffic behind me and in adjacent lane while creating some minor road hazard. Instantly pulled over on a soft shoulder, put the hazard lights on and got out to check out what happened. The trunk was wide open but hazards were not visible as they are attached to the trunk lid which was open and facing upwards, effectively making the hazard lights invisible to the traffic in the night time behind me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11300531, filed 2020-01, 2,900 miles“Cars dash board go will go out while driving. Completely disabling all gauges until it resets. Bluegrass Audi can't seem to figure it. I asked several months ago to be contacted by Audi but I was never contacted. Audi bluegrass has had the car2-3 times now with no solution. This also includes one time where they drove over 400 miles on it. Picture I included is a just a guess. This has happened 3 or 4 times.”
