Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving kid spilled water on rear seat, within 5 min all sensors started beeping, display started turning off and on, steering wheel very hard to maneuver, windows opening and closing spontaneously, car wouldn't go into park mode, engine wouldn't turn off (finally did after pressing and holding ignition multiple times for several seconds). Audi dealer states module underneath the rear seat is corroded. It's a brand new car (leased < 3 months ago). Terrified to drive it again as it appears to be a safety issue and is hazardous for my family.”
