I leased a 2023 Audi A4 with 0 miles. At ~10,000 miles my car automatically shut down electronically I have photo evidence of this. This happened again recently at ~45,000 miles, I almost got into a severe car accident and possibly died. This happened on the highway driving in the left lane. I tried to remedy this situation before and was ignored by Aud's service center. I am scared I can die on the road and am taking in the car for repeat service tomorrow.
The vehicle erroneously applies sudden emergency braking (Audi Pre Sense) without conditions warranting system activation. This malfunction occurs at the most dangerous of times, mostly while making left turns. Vehicles behind do not expect the vehicle ahead to suddenly stop which is going to cause an rear-end collision, and the timing for turning across lanes of traffic is leading to the potential front-end collision with opposing traffic. The sudden activation is unbelievably jarring and has caused shoulder and neck pain. This matter has been brought to the attention of the dealer on…
There currently exists a recall (24T-009) on the Continental ProContact GX AO 255/35R19 96H XL tire which was the OEM tire on some MY21+ Audi A4/A5s. The recall was the result of the compound used on the inner and outer edges improperly dissipating heat, resulting in premature wear, and belt breakage. I have a 2023 Audi A4, [XXX] which has the OE Continental ProContact GX AO 245/40R18 97H XL on it, and at 26,500 miles on the vehicle, all 4 of the tires require replacement due to significant wear on the inner and outer edges. All maintenance and service intervals were completed early or on time…
Driving on the highway and the middle of the tire flew off. The edges of the tire still remained 245/40 R 18 97 H MS
Since I bought this car in June 2023, I’ve had two instances where the presence feature malfunctioned when there was no danger of any accident. I’ve had one instance when all of the safety sensors illuminated at the same time while driving. Finally, this past Saturday, my car malfunctioned and died/ turned off while I was driving. It took a minute or so to get the car started. A malfunction notice illuminated. The area traffic is congested, so people honking at me but nobody hit me. Luckily, I was not on the freeway.
My brand new car stalled in the middle of traffic; as I proceeded to step on the gas peddle after yielding -- the car completely stoped as is I hit a wall, it jerk roughly and completely stopped. At first I thought someone rear-ended me, but that wasn't the case, the car just stalled, and the "Audi Pressure Sensor" warning flashed across the screen in Bright Big Letters for a few seconds, and once the waring went away, the car turned back on. This event happened twice, about 40 days apart. My life was at risk because if I was on the expressway, the complete stop of vehicle could have cause an…
"Locked doors make it more difficult for emergency workers to enter the vehicle, which puts lives at risk." This quote is from the warning on page 40 of the Audi owners manual. I do not wish to drive wth the doors locked for this reason, yet the Audi computer automatically locks the doors every time the car exceeds about 10 MPH. The local dealer was unable to reprogram the vehicle to turn off auto lock. After consulting with tech support, they said it is not possible to turn off auto lock. I strongly believe there needs to be a software upgrade to correct this vehicle deficiency. Owners must…

Counts are a starting point, not a verdict: popular models collect more complaints because more of them are on the road, and NHTSA does not verify individual reports. To see whether a recall is still open on your car, enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls (U.S.) or your registration at check-vehicle-recalls.service.gov.uk (UK). Had a safety problem? Report it to NHTSA; complaints are what trigger investigations and recalls.
