“When using the lane-departure and 'steering correction' system this vehicle will attempt to suddenly, sharply, and dangerously change lanes. This morning (8/26/20), while traveling on a four lane divided highway with cruise control and lane departure active, the vehicle jerked left into a turn-only lane, overriding my manual steering of the car in the straight travel lane. Had another car been in the turning lane we would have nearly certainly collided, as my car was at least 30% into the lane before I could react and bring it back into the center lane.”
NHTSA complaint #11351294, filed 2020-08, 12,000 miles“My 2020 Audi SQ5 (3.0L turbo V6, EA839 engine) experienced premature water pump failure at 64,361 miles.

Safety Risk: Loss of coolant circulation causes rapid overheating and risk of sudden engine failure at highway speeds, creating a collision hazard. Coolant intrusion into the vacuum system can also impair brake booster function, compromising stopping ability. Confirmed by Dealer: Diagnosed and confirmed by Audi Reno Tahoe (Reno, NV) on April 9, 2026. …”
