2022 Audi e-tron Sportback problems, recalls and owner complaints

While driving, the vehicle displayed three simultaneous warnings — “Drive system malfunction, safely stop vehicle,” “Electrical system malfunction, restart not possible, contact service,” and “All-wheel drive malfunction, limited stability” — and lost propulsion completely. This occurred on at least two separate occasions while driving. After each event, the vehicle would not restart for approximately 15 minutes, after which it began working again temporarily. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Audi dealer, which found no coolant in the front drive motor and diagnosed a fault in the SX6…

The vehicle is experiencing an intermittent but active 'Electrical system: malfunction!' safety alert on the dashboard and myAudi app, caused by an internal high-voltage battery cell circuit fault (Diagnostic Trouble Code P0DB400 / U04A300) and a failure in the battery thermal runaway detection system. When the fault occurs, the vehicle suffers a complete loss of regenerative braking, severely affecting stopping predictability and vehicle handling. An authorized Audi dealership (Audi West Chester) confirmed the internal module failure under TAC Case NF-1675032 and directed a full battery…

Brakes were replaced by Audi with genuine Audi parts and within 2 months, the brake rotors became warped, requiring a resurfacing. After driving another 2 months, they once again became warped, making the entire car lurch and shake during braking.

My drive motors keep failing (so far 3 times) and my emergency braking abruptly stops my vehicle when no true danger is present and I’m in complete control of my vehicle. Currently my vehicle has a constant shuddering while braking which doesn’t feel safe because it’s not braking properly. Audi regional and the dealership refuses to take ownership of the issue. Dealer has confirmed issue and replaced drive motors three times. Each time my braking system has gotten worse. The part was replaced each time under warranty but Audi has not confirmed that a fix has been found and corrected. This…

The contact owns a 2022 Audi E-Tron. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle independently switched to SAFE Mode and failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. Additionally, the mileage range was reduced, and the battery recharging time increased. The failure started after the vehicle was repaired under the NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V867000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, but no failure was found with the vehicle. The vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic who reported that the amperage of the…

The vehicles software system regularly crashes and/or does not load leaving all camera functionality and safety alerts inoperable. I have had the vehicle in to address these concerns 5 times with no resolve from the manufacturer. Even with video evidence they claim the vehicle is functioning as intended. This is in direct violation of FMVSS 111 as the rearview camera is regularly not available. Sometimes the system reboots within seconds and sometimes it takes 10 minutes or more.

The car occasionally does not respond to pushing the pedal to accelerate. The first time it happened, I though it was user error after sitting at a light. Well within the same 30 minutes it happened again entering a carwash. Today I was sitting at a light waiting for it to turn green. Once green, I pushed the accelerator to go and the car would not accelerate. This is the second time in two weeks and approximately fifth time since I purchased the car in October 2023. No dashboard warning prior to this.

I was driving on the interstate freeway in normal conditions when my 2022 Audi E-tron suddenly showed a message "Electrical system malfunction!" and lost all power to the motors. Thankfully I was in the rightmost lane already and I was able to steer and coast over to the shoulder even while pressing the gas pedal had no effect. If I had been in another lane it could have led to a major accident if my car stalled in the middle of a busy freeway. I had the vehicle towed to the local Audi dealer service center, but so far they have not been able to diagnose the problem.

On 1/18/23, I was driving my 2022 E-tron on a roadway that had no center lane markings. I had my seatbelt and cruise control on. I was traveling at 34mph straight on the right side of the roadway. Suddenly, and without warning, my car took control, drove off the road to the right, and crashed into a tree. I suffered severe injuries, including but not limited to, loss of consciousness, concussion with vertigo, vision problems, neck, back, left arm/hand, and left leg injuries. I continue to suffer from my injuries to this day.

First time in November the sign came on that there was an electrical system failure. We took the car to the shop, in Audi Raleigh and they said that they fixed the issue. Although, we had to wait for an available appointment for over a month. This time, after 3 months, the same sign came on, electrical system failure, plus all wheel drive faiture. While driving to the dealership the car stopped abbraptlly on the highway and we had to call a tow truck. This was scary because the car stopped and just would not move,. Audi knows that all 2022 -tron models have this issue and disregards the safety…

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…

Reverse lights do not meet minimum required illumination under J593c. Consequently, when dark, it is impossible to see objects or curbs behind the vehicle in the backup camera screen even on maximum brightness creating a safety hazard.
