There is an issue with this vehicle that seems to have been addressed by audi recall campaign 97cb (nhtsa campaign id 16v642000), however it does not apply to all affected vehicles. I bought the car used in 2020 with approx 35k miles on it. At about 55k miles, i began getting a warning on the dash that says “front (left/right) side marker light defective. See owners manual. ” it began with the left light only. I had the car inspected at an independent repair shop and there were no issues with the light. They thought maybe there was a wiring or sensor issue and suggested i check with audi for any open recalls. I called the audi dealer and explained the issue, they said there were no recalls and suggested replacing the headlight assembly for about $4k. I refused, and dealt with the warning. At about 75k miles, the right side has started coming on as well. I had it checked with the repair shop, and confirmed the light is working. My research has shown many others experience this issue, and audi is aware of it, but the recall only covered a small number of vin’s. The others have opted to get a re-programming device (obd-11) and disable the marker lights altogether. This will result in the side marker lights not being lit, meaning the car is less safe than intended. Please see if something can be done to add all affected vehicles to the audi recall so i can have this issue repaired and not compromise the safety of the vehicle. Thank you.
Often brakes abruptly. The first time the car was set at 60mph adaptive cruise control when the car abruptly braked to almost a stop on a divided four lane hwy. I reported incidents to audi cary & put my car in for service. They did not find diagnostic conclusion. After picking up my car the problem continues. While on adaptive cruise control set at 62 mph abruptly decelerates to 17, forcing driver to pull into right turn lane. Again on same afternoon car braked abruptly with another car following closely behind, the driver accelerated, there was a pause where braking stopped but car did not accelerate, then the car accelerated avoiding being hit from behind. The last two incidents i immediately call audi cary to report the problem. I now journal all episodes of malfunction.
While driving, the steering wheel suddenly locked up and could not be turned. Several warning lights simultaneously appeared on the dashboard including: "steering malfunction! Please stop vehicle", "audi adaptive light malfunction! See owners manual", "start/stop system malfunction! Function unavailable", and "audi pre sense currently limited" - no warning lights were present prior to this event. The sudden loss of steering could have caused serious injury to myself and to other drivers or pedestrians nearby. I was thankfully able to stop the vehicle, but i could not pull over because the steering wheel could not be turned. The car was towed to the audi dealership and i was told the "electronic power steering rack" would need to be replaced costing nearly $5,000. 00.
Frequent motor mounts failure, and leakage of hydraulic fluid from both left and right mounts. Motor mounts failure have occurred about three times in the last four years. After some online research and reading, found out that other newer audi owners are having a similar issues with their mount amounts at low mileage just like myself.
2017 audi q7 , issue is left marker light not working according to the dash computer, called audi , inspected and they said it works but is dimmer than the other side, so needs replaced. $6000.... Not doing that, called audi customer service and they would do a good will for less but still $4000.. I chose to just put up with it since it works and the dash light stays on all the time. Then months go by and now the right marker light not working, same thing. Works but the computer says it doesnt. This is a issue with audi and needs to be a recall. The warning light states left light out, then flashes and says the right light is out. Both lights work, but computer says it doesnt.. The dash light and the dinging noise needs to be a recall.
The audi "drive select" transmission function switches to "sports mode" in rain and snow. This makes the vehicle dangerously jumpy in slippery conditions. This has happened to me (i think) three times in the last couple of years, always in rain or snow. My knowledge of the car allowed me to slowly delve into the screen functions to reprogram the transmission while driving in these dangerous conditions, but i don't know if i could always do it again, or if others might find it too confusing in the moment.
Purchased new 2022 audi e-tron gt rs vehicle from audi on september 30, 2022. The car was shipped directly to arrived at home on october 12, 2022. Always had his vehicle serviced at audi. Almost immediately after purchase, began to have issues with the vehicle. At 237 miles the vehicle began to independently and randomly shut off or shift into neutral. The issue was fixed after installing the first of many recall updates. Since then at least 6 recalls have been issued for the vehicle, each necessitating another visit to the dealership for repairs. Additionally, in january of 2024 its interior heating system began to malfunction. The vehicle remained in the shop for 10 days while this problem was remedied. Most recently, on december 11, 2024, the vehicle became inoperative and was towed to the shop once again. The dashboard displays a warning that reads “electrical system: malfunction! Safely stop vehicle. ” recently told that the vehicle could remain at the shop for multiple months and that a battery cell needs to be replaced but the dealership cannot confirm the repair will remedy the problem(s) or if additional problems exist. The value of vehicle has been substantially impaired by all of the malfunctions it has experienced and continues to experience. Audi has failed to correct all outstanding problems.
Passenger airbags, and emergency braking have been failing, i would have to be aware in advance if my vehicle needs to be checked, my safety and my passengers safety is in danger because incase i need to brake quickly but dont have the reaction time to do so i will crash since emergency brake doesnt work, and my passengers would be at high risk because of failing airbags, im unsure if the problem has been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center, the problem has not yet been inspected there were other symptoms like my sensors going off or the car telling me some assists were malfunctioning in heavy rain or when the car is dirty
I started the car and , put it in reverse and the rear back up camera never turned on as required when backing up today. Rear camera didnt activate but the parking light on the audi was red as usual indicating it was activated. However the screen just went to its default app page (settings, carplay, etc. ) i was unable to see pedestrians as i backed out of the grocery shopping center parking spot. Yes. Audi dealership keeps telling me there is no update and that my software version 3606 is the latest software( i have told the dealer, i have a black screen without apps, only lte and clock show up occasionally) they have done a factory reset and so have i without resolution. No warning lights came on, it just said welcome (user name) and went to the regular media screen. I have a 2mb 7 second video of the incident i took with my iphone if needed
Wheel arch on the front passenger side flew off on the highway. There was no visible issues that the piece was loose as it’s been on the car securely for 45k miles.
