2019 Audi e-tron Complaints

My 2019 Audi E-tron has experienced two major issues during my ownership. At around 87k miles, I was driving into a parking lot and suddenly a “electrical malfunction” warning light appeared on my dashboard followed my many warning lights including 4wd, brake system, and battery. The vehicle was not moving properly and I had to slowly move it into a parking lot and had it towed to the dealership. The issue was that the front motor is toasted caused by coolant leaking into the motor. The second issue occurred around 109k miles. My vehicle couldn’t start in a parking lot and the same “Electrical Malfunction” warning light went on. The vehicle was towed to Audi dealership and the diagnosis was a failing SX6 battery control module, which costed me over $8000 to repair. Those two issues both make the vehicle unmovable and could be catastrophic if they occur at high speed. There are numerous complaints from Reddit and E-tron forum regarding the same two issues. Both issues involved moisture...

2019 Audi Etron that still doesn't have a resolution for the safety recall of High-Voltage Battery Module(s) AUDI ACTION CODE 93U9, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 23V867, issued Dec 20, 2023 for a potentially critical self-discharge condition exists in certain high-voltage battery modules that, in some instances, may lead to thermal overload, possibly resulting in smoke or a fire. A high-voltage battery overheating increases the risk of a fire. Putting a sticker on the dash saying not to charge to over 75% and software that reduces the mileage I can drive is not a fix.

Dear Audi Product Safety Division and NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, I am writing to formally document a safety defect in my 2019 Audi e-tron Prestige (VIN [XXX] ), which exhibits the same brake-system failure described in Audi’s brake-booster recall – Campaign 46P6 / NHTSA Recall 24V-621, despite Audi’s system not listing my VIN as covered. Vehicle Details Make/Model: 2019 Audi e-tron Prestige VIN: [XXX] Build Date: 05/19 (per manufacturer label) Mileage: [insert current mileage] Primary Location: Lynwood, Illinois Defect Summary My vehicle repeatedly displays: “Parking Brake Malfunction” and “Brake System Fault” warnings. A clicking noise or resistance when pressing/releasing the brake pedal. The brake pedal occasionally fails to return fully to its normal position. On one occasion, the vehicle rolled slightly while parked. These symptoms match those described in Audi’s recall 46P6, which involves improper assembly of the bolt connection between th...

On the very day I purchased the vehicle (07/22/2025), the high-voltage battery module pack failed, and the vehicle had to be immediately taken back for service. I did not receive it back until 08/08/2025. I was told it was fully repaired and safe. On 09/02/2025, the vehicle suffered multiple simultaneous safety-system failures, including: • “Audi Adaptive Light: Malfunction” • “High Beam Assistant: Malfunction” • “Audi Pre Sense: Currently Limited” (collision-avoidance system) • The vehicle also failed to charge that day. As of today, a new “Exit Warning Malfunction” warning has appeared. This is the third critical safety or high-voltage system failure in less than 90 days. At no point was I informed of any prior safety or recall issues before purchase. Each time, the dealership insisted repairs were complete — yet additional safety failures continue. This vehicle appears to have an ongoing electrical/safety system instability, potentially involving the high-voltage battery and cr...

My car has been under a recall since 2023. I have been at the dealership for normal maintenance and for the recall several times now but the dealership/Audi says that it's monitoring the battery remotely and doesn't replace the battery. No fix has been done until now and the recall/fix keeps being delayed.
