Audi issued a recall notice in December 2023 regarding the high voltage battery possibly causing a fire.

No incident occurred. However, Audi recalled my EV (2022 Audi E-tron) months ago, stating there exists a fire hazard associated with these vehicles. Audi has not provided any effective remedy. The sole advice offered was to refrain from charging the battery beyond 80%. However, Audi has not substan
... tiated the claim that this measure is protective, and it also restricts the performance and intended range of the affected vehicles. I contacted Audi of America and my local Audi dealer, but both entities have been unhelpful and unable to offer any reassurance or scientific data. Battery monitoring software is allegedly scheduled to be released this quarter (originally promised in the final quarter of 2024). This proposed solution appears insufficient. Thermal runaway could potentially lead to a fire without sufficient warning to protect consumers, even with software in place. Clearly, Audi should be compelled to replace the batteries before a consumer sustains an injury or fatalities occur due to thermal runaway and fire. Several incidents of fires involving these vehicles have been reported in the United States and other jurisdictions. Audi has since discontinued using these specific batteries and has access to safer and more efficient alternatives. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to compel Audi to provide a genuine remedy to this issue as soon as possible to safeguard consumers.Read more

I'm deeply concerned about the safety risks my family faces due to unresolved Audi recalls.

... cable, which can overheat home wiring, posing a serious fire hazard. On September 19, 2024, I took my car to Niello Audi to address these recalls, but they advised me to take the car home despite the significant safety risks. The service representative told me I couldn't receive a replacement charging cable because I did not have the original one; as the second owner, I never received it from the previous owner. He also mentioned that there was no remedy available for the battery issue and to come pick up my car the next day. I'm using an aftermarket charging cable, which the representative warned could increase the risk of fire. But I cannot get the cable required because I do not have the original. I transport my two young children in this car, and the thought of driving an unsafe vehicle is terrifying. On September 20, 2024, I contacted Audi America to file a claim and initiate the buyback process, as there is no safe solution available. I expressed my urgent concerns and requested a loaner car while the buyback is processed, but my request was denied despite stating it clearly was a safety issue. The Audi America representative told me to pick up my car and drive it, even after acknowledging the safety risks. Niello Audi provided a loaner for only one week, which is not long enough to navigate this complex process. This situation has left me feeling incredibly unsafe. My home is at risk of fire due to the unresolved charging cable issue, and I continue to worry about driving a vehicle with these serious problems. The ongoing recalls create an alarming risk for me and my family.Read more

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 w

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. They claimed it was a coolant issue and that the car was fixed. However, the very next day the same "electrical system malfunction" warning light was again alarming. The car was taken to yet another dealership service department where it was diagnosed as needing yet ANOTHER motor. This are major electrical problem in an electric vehicle and could've cause my car to completely die while driving. The vehicle now has a safety recall regarding the home charging cord component. As of now, there is no repair and Audi does not anticipate one available until mid 2024. As such, customers are being told it is only safe to charge your car to 50% volume.Read more

I purchased an Audi eTron 2022 in November 0f 2021. My wife has always loved the brand. Indeed, if you look at your sales records, you’ll find that we’ve purchased a Q5, two Q7s, and most recently an eTron from Audi North Austin. We’ve also always used your store for all the maintenance of our
... Audis. Approximately 5 months after buying the eTron we started experiencing glitches: -Screen randomly powering off -Random warnings, indicating something or another was not functioning. -The alarm would go off while the car in parked in our home garage. The key FOB was unable to disengage the alarm even if we get into the car and start it. The main issue I want to address is the most disturbing. On approximately 6 occasions, the car would come to an abrupt stop while traveling at about 35-45mph. I contacted Audi North Austin to have these issues looked at. I was given an appointment that was about two months out. In any case, this lea to the first visit to your service department for diagnostic and to address the issues. A couple of the minor issues listed above were fixed. However, we were informed that the abrupt stopping issue was escalated to Audi HQ but no fix was currently available. The service department rep did say, the did a software update and that might address the issue. About two weeks after the car was returned to us. We once again experienced the abrupt stopping again. (FYI, the impact of those stops is equivalent to getting rear-ended) This led to visit two. On this visit I was more reassured than the first visit. I spoke to Edwin and he was very sympathetic to our plight. He even suggested what he thought the problem might be. He mentioned that there is a sensor that runs down the side of the driver’s side and that that sensor may need to be replaced. Unfortunately, Edwin was wrong. Because a few weeks later while traveling about 45-50mph merging onto [XXX] . This particular incident put us closer to death that the previous ones.

On 3 separate occasions brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the vehicle. Pumping the brake pedal did not help as brake pedal went to the floor each time. After a few panic pumps all of sudden brakes worked as if nothing had happen. This was not a gradual regain of pe
... dal force but full force as if nothing had happen. Did not see any indications on dashboard at the time and none were present after any of the events listed below. Note - Each event was after car sat in parking lot for at least 4 hours. First time was Jan 23, 2023 at ~ 12,300 miles leaving parking in the morning onto main road. Fortunately no traffic. Second event Feb 8 ~12,900 miles leaving parking lot onto main road in the morning. Fortunately no traffic. Third event Feb 9 ~ 12,940 miles leaving business parking lot in the afternoon and was approaching the exiting gate which rose out of the way in time for car not to hit the barrier. Car was taken to Audi Service on Feb 13, 2023 to be evaluated. Audi Service could not duplicate issue and kept the car for 11 days. Audi technical team advised replacing the brake booster module (PN 4KE-614-100-AG-BEF) which was done by Audi Service in South Burlington, VT.

1. The brakes all of a sudden failed. We were at an elementary school in carpool line - near children- the brake pedal did not work at all, nothing. Warning message to stop driving brake failure. The Audi-Sense alert did at least put on the emergency parking brake before hitting a car ahead of us. T
... urned off and on, checking if computer vs actual brake issue (see below, computer issues as well). The car lurched forward, then warning, got out of line onto side of parking lot. After turning off and on again, it worked to drive again. Unclear right now if brakes actually gone but European recall Sept 2021 suggests this is really a brake issue and recall exactly as described here (I bought this car three months later, which suggests gross negligence on part of Audi here). 2. Tire sensors do not work, wrong readings on pressure. Safety issue. Similar e-tron recalled, but not mine - again, Audi negligence not properly recalling all impacted vehicles. 3. Additional computer errors. The screen goes black when in use and cannot be accessed while driving. Not a safety issue, but controls and visibility are lost. As I can only list 3 problems here will open a second issue for remaining failures on this 9 month old vehicle. Thank you, this model should not be sold in US. Unsafe.Read more
