5 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.

21V825000 · Back Over Prevention: Sensing System: Camera

Reported: 2021-10-20 (October 20, 2021)

Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Audi) is recalling certain 2021 Audi A8 and S8, 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, A4 Sedan, E-Tron GT, Q3, Q5, RS6 Avant, A3 Sedan, S5 Sportback, Q5 Sportback, Q7, Q8, RSQ8, SQ7, SQ8, and S3 Sedan vehicles. A software error may prevent the rear-view image from initially displaying when the vehicle begins to reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

Consequence: A rear-view camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will update the infotainment unit parameters, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 9, 2021. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-253-2834. Audi's number for this recall is 91CR.

When vehicle is in drive or reverse, it rolls forward and backwards when no throttle is applied (as if in neutral), vehicle hit a structure because it rolled back at a rapid pace due to an incline. Audi needs to implement a feature to prevent the vehicle from rolling when at a near stop and the vehicle is in drive or reverse.

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 substantiated 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 r…

Audi issued a recall notice in December 2023 regarding the high voltage battery possibly causing a fire. In the past 15 months since the recall I have not received any correspondence from Audi on a fix. I have checked with my Audi service manager several times and he stated Audi is monitoring the vehicle high voltage modules. I feel 15 months is excessive time for the manufacturer to provide a fix/repair to close the recall. This also affects the ability to trade or sell the car with a unrepaired recall.

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.

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.

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 -tro…

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 abl…

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 …

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.

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 was delivered to the Audi dealership service department where it was diagnosed as needing a brand new rear motor. Within 45 days of this repair being completed I again got the same "electrical system malfunction" warning light. It was taken to anoth…

The contact owns a 2022 Audi E-Tron. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rotors were pulsating and shaking. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, unknown sensors engaged without an object or vehicle nearby. The contact had set the system to the lowest sensitivity. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the front rotors were worn. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle…

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.

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. Turned 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 righ…

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 pedal 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. …

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.

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.
