Despite calling the dealership and Audi USA, the vehicle has not yet to my knowledge even been inspected. I was very concerned about this issue and so contacted both the dealership and Audi USA to request that it be investigated without delay given this issue could endanger lives or cause serious injury. The vehicle was not driveable and was towed to the Audi dealership (south coast Audi, santa ana, CA) the same day. A message came on to the effect that the electric system had failed.

On June 1 2022, driving at a speed of approx 20 mph, the car brakes came on suddenly, 4 windows came down and the vehicle came to an abrupt halt in the middle of the road. Issue noted at dealership in August, but not replicated and the issue still occurs infrequently.

The driver has also experienced an intermittent hard brake pedal issue with this model. The driver will request an inspection by another Audi dealership service center. After four more days with the car, the dealership maintained that there were no codes to use for a diagnosis (reported only sporadic codes and not hard codes were found) and the car was ready for pickup. Without a diagnosis, the dealership cannot state that a similar incident would not occur in the future. On the same day, the dealership said that the check engine light cleared itself and they did not find any codes to diagnose an issue. The driver drove it less than 5 miles to the dealership after contacting the dealership to provide advance notice of the car’s arrival. After restarting the car several times, the malfunction messages disappeared and the check engine light stayed on. Had the car abruptly stopped on a highway, a serious accident may have occurred. Who is to say this won't happen to someone in a year? my car has 9,000 miles and there was no evidence of the metal shavings at 8,000.Ī 2022 Audi Q5 phev abruptly stopped and displayed three warning lights on the dashboard (electrical system malfunction, drive system malfunction, and check engine light). All the engines should be replaced unless they can develop a repair for the problem that guarantees this will not happen in the future. You cannot just look to see if there are metal shavings, and if not, assume the car will not have them in the future. Audi roadside was "not available", and I had to walk to a safe area for a tow truck that took 5 hours. I had to push the vehicle off the highway, which is also extremely dangerous. This is extremely dangerous as someone could have run into me from behind. Approximately 1,000 miles later my car stopped working suddenly on the highway while driving 65 miles an hour with no warning, except 30 seconds before when some warnings flashed and back smoke started coming out the back. I had recall 22v573 performed in November 2022 (see attached service record), and they found no evidence of metal in the engine.
