Re; Audi Q4 etron vin [XXX] On XXX while on my driveway, approaching the garage, a sound came from the dashboard, a written message appeared on the screen, and almost simultaneously the car suddenly accelerated, going thru the partially open garage door, hitting the left side of the car already parked on the right side of the garage, and hitting the central air conditioning unit in front of it, damaging both cars, the air conditioning unit, garage cabinets, sink, and shelving. We have asked Audi to look into the car’s computer/recorder to see what information they can extract without avail. We…
As I was coasting into a parking space perpendicular to a curb, sidewalk, and store fronts, about a foot from the curb, the engine ROARED and rapidly accelerated. I removed my foot from the pedal and crashed into a pole supporting the canopy over the sidewalk. The impact was so great that the airbags deployed and the car bounced back onto the parking lot. Several lights on the dash illuminated while this happened and I definitely saw "Electrical Malfunction". The only way I could think to turn the engine off was to force the door open. My cat was in her hard sided carrier on the front…
The trunk power liftgate is often falsely activated by the foot-activated sensor. Even when your feet are not moving, if they are anywhere near the sensor it can set it off. This causes the hatch to close on you when you're standing under it with no way to stop it. This happens suddenly with very little warning. You have very little time to get out from under the liftgate.
I was hit by a large truck on the driver side as I was in the right lane catching up to a safe speed. The hit spun the car around at least 180 degrees. Due to the massive pain I couldn’t move. The car just shut off completely to include all functions. There were no prompts from the car’s emergency to call for help which I find as a fault. Luckily I was in a populated area and emergency was able to respond. I am seeing reports in forums with photo evidence that the SOS function is malfunctioning. The car is likely in a junk yard. I took the car in a month or so back for a charging module fault…
My wife was involved in an accident with her Audi Q4 E-Tron on Monday, August 7, 2023 at approximately noon. She was driving into Boulder to pick up our granddaughter from an art camp in Table Mesa. On her way to Boulder, she noticed that the lane departure warning indicator light was not working which was odd because she had been using that since she purchased the car. She was also in Drive B (regenerative braking) mode. She drove into the parking area and was pulling into a parking spot very slowly. When she moved her foot off of the accelerator towards the brake, the car lunged forward at…
About 50 to 65% of the time when I put the car in reverse, the rear facing camera does not work. There is only black showing where the rear image should appear.
Upon starting the car after a long (100 mile) drive many error warnings occurred and the vehicle was very difficult to drive. We only attempted to back out of the driveway so it could be towed for repair. Audi has had the car for 4 months and has been unable to diagnose the problem and fix the car.
The rearview camera does not show when the vehicle is placed in reverse gear. We found that some Audi Q4 2022 was recalled #22V823000 but our car Q4 2022 was not. Now we got this issue. We believe that we should have be recalled and should be repaired free of charge. Thank you.

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.
