My 2019 Audi e-tron will not charge. The charging indicator turns red after a few seconds and charging stops. The issue happens with both my home charger and Electrify America public chargers. The vehicle does not make the normal charging connection/clicking sound. This appears to be a charging system or high-voltage electrical issue. I am concerned about a potential safety defect because the vehicle cannot reliably charge and may leave the vehicle unusable. We have had a lot of heavy rain recently, and I am concerned that moisture or water intrusion may be related to the charging failure. The vehicle will not charge and the charging light turns red after a few seconds. The issue occurs with both my home charger and Electrify America chargers.

The car stayed for 4 weeks at the dealership and he didn’t able to do the recall

Am writing to file a formal complaint regarding my recent experience with the service department at Audi of Cherry Hill concerning my Audi e-tron. My vehicle remained at your dealership for approximately four weeks, during which time no repairs or meaningful progress were made. Instead, I was informed that I would need to approve approximately $13,000 in diagnostic fees before the vehicle would even be inspected or touched. I find this completely unreasonable and unacceptable, particularly given that my vehicle sat idle at your facility for an extended period without any justification. In addition, I am extremely dissatisfied with the customer service and conduct of an employee named Khern. He explicitly identified himself to me as a manager; however, after speaking with other staff members, I discovered he is not a member of management and works at the service intake desk. Furthermore, when I requested to speak with the actual service manager or another member of leadership to discuss my concerns, Khern actively refused to contact them or allow me to escalate the matter. As a customer, I expect honesty, transparency, and the ability to speak with management when a situation cannot be resolved at the front desk. Instead, I was misled, ignored, and left without assistance while my vehicle sat unrepaired for weeks. I request the following actions in response to this letter: A written explanation as to why my vehicle remained at the dealership for four weeks without any diagnost

Airbag detection system continues to malfunction. When driving at random times it states the detection system is currently unavailable as well as all the function buttons on the steering wheel.

“Electrical system malfunction- Please park vehicle safely”popping up on the dashboard. This is the second incident of such. Then “ a low battery charge “ warning while charging the car. Warning adds “ battery will charge while driving”. We called the dealer the first time and told to monitor but ok to drive. Then today while traveling almost 3 hours away from home, message pops up again. Dealer contacted and said ok to drive but bring the car asap in shop. Challenges - safety of travelers as issue limits ability to truly know state of charging battery , risk of crash as electrical system main part of EV car. Unsafe conditions putting lives at risk.

Component: Tires (Front Left) Continental Cross Contact LX 265/45 R21 Incident Description: Driving at highway speed, the front left tire suffered a catastrophic tread delamination. The flailing tread tore the fender and charging cover off of the vehicle. No impact or road hazard occured due to smart manuvering and proximity to the shoulder to pull over. However, this could have been deadly with a family with young children in the car and others on the road. This could have been a near fatal event. The car is currently being looked at by the autobody shop and insurance. There were no warnings or other symptoms prior that would have indicated any issue.

Vehicle experienced a sudden and total loss of propulsion while driving due to an internal failure of the rear electric motor. The dealer diagnosed it as 'coolant intrusion' into the motor unit. This is a known manufacturing defect in the 2019 e-tron (TSB 2073858/2) where internal seals fail, allowing coolant to destroy the motor. This created a high safety risk on the highway. Audi is refusing to honor the 8-year/100,000-mile High Voltage System Warranty, citing a lack of routine maintenance, even though the motor is a sealed unit with no user-serviceable internal seals

I had 93u9 criteria 04 recall done in February. As of March 6, I had a no power supply message. Without being able to charge it went to the dealer. They said it was the charge port assembly but not from the recall since that was software. Once that was fixed they charged the car and it immediately had the fault electrical malfunction. Now they say i need to replace the rear drive motor. Then thy called again and said the 12v battery needs to be replaced as well. This all happened while still at the dealer. I didn’t have those faults prior, yet they want to say none of its related. This appears all related. After I got the car back from the recall, I had two times the charging didn’t want to start, then I had ghost wiping with the rear wiper and the infotainment system rebooted several times while driving. Safety had gotten much worse and now there are cascading failures. Audi does not want to admit the recall was the cause, but the car had no issues prior and now a month later had $17000 in repairs. Audi has had the error code reports requested by me, but they have not provided them including the corporate office. I feel this recall caused a catastrophic failure of my battery and electrical system.

Brake lights become faulty due to moisture intrusion from car washes. The part is available for inspection if requested Audi has issued a technical service bulletin on this issue already. This should be handled through a recall, not a TSB.

I had the recall done about a week ago on my Audi 2019 etron. The recall was the software for the rear camera. Now I have noticed that when I am driving and water splashes on the windshield the auto wipers do a single wipe like normal, however the next time after that when I come to a complete stop, like at a light, the rear wiper then goes off once. It had happened multiple times, and that is the only thing that is consistent when it does happen. Today it happened once in the morning when I came to a stop light and then again tonight at a stop sign. It didn’t happen at any other point and I drive over an hour in each commute. Both times the wipers had auto activated to wipe the front windshield at a point between two stops. It doesn’t do it until I come to a complete stop. I wanted to report this since it never happened in the past.

The high-voltage charging flap assembly (Part 4KE810001) has failed, preventing the charge door from latching. Notably, this failure (DTC P31D000) occurred within 7 days of the vehicle being serviced at Audi Burlingame for a high-voltage battery software recall. This presents three safety hazards: 1. Driver Distraction: Triggers a continuous auditory chime and 'Warning! Please check the charging unit cover' message every 10 seconds. It cannot be silenced, creating a severe, persistent distraction. 2. Unintended Deployment: At highway speeds, the unlatched flap opens/flaps due to aerodynamics, creating a visual obstruction and distraction for the driver and traffic. 3. Moisture Ingress: Failure to seal the port exposes the high-voltage interface to pressurized rain/road spray. Per NHTSA 19V434 (Recall 93E8) regarding moisture ingress in this system, this failure represents a recurrence of a known safety risk. Evidence of Defect: Audi has iterated through three versions of this part (4KE810001, B, and C), confirming an inherent design flaw. This component is specifically identified in Service Campaign 93H6 for proactive replacement. Despite this, and the failure occurring immediately after recall service 93V2 on October 1st 2025, Audi Burlingame denied a 'goodwill' repair and quoted $1,100+ for a part already internally flagged as defective. Repair declined due to cost; safety hazard remains active. I am requesting that the NHTSA open an investigation into this component failur

The contact owns a 2019 Audi E-Tron. The contact stated that during rainy weather, there was water entering the vehicle through the roof, and water was leaking onto the infotainment system, the shifter, and other electronics. Additionally, the contact stated that there was water accumulating in the footwell. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was determined that water was leaking through the fully closed sunroof. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: AWA-23-09 (Sunroof Limited Warranty Extension) that stated that the dealer would address a condition of leakage and water ingress into the interior of the vehicle from the sunroof while in the fully closed position and would address consequential damages as a direct result of the water ingress. However, the dealer informed the contact that there was another TSB with the same TSB Number that overrode the bulletin information. The contact was informed that only 60 percent of the cost of the sunroof repair would be covered, and the contact would be responsible for the cost of the repair of the water damage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that only the TSB that fully covered the cost of the repairs was found, and no other TSB was found. A case was filed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

INCIDENT SUMMARY: On [XXX], I brought my 2019 Audi e-tron (VIN: [XXX] , 70k miles) to Audi Salt Lake City for Safety Recall 93U9 (High Voltage Battery Module). Vehicle was functioning normally with no warning lights or electrical issues. IMPROPER RECALL COMPLETION: The dealership's technician (Chris Miller, [XXX] ) documented in the service notes: "I FOUND THE GROUNDING STRAP FOR THE REAR MOTOR WAS NOT INSTALLED AND WAS TUCKED UP BETWEEN THE MOTOR AND THE COVERS." This proves the technician failed to properly reinstall the critical grounding strap during recall service, leaving it disconnected in the high voltage system. IMMEDIATE FAILURES AFTER RECALL: Following the recall service, multiple critical failures occurred: Voltage converter failure (part #4KE-907-171-C) Battery charging malfunction (limited to 100 miles range vs normal 200+ miles) Multiple stored fault codes and dashboard warning lights Rear drive motor faults Parking brake system failures All failures are consistent with loss of proper grounding in a high voltage EV system. SAFETY CONCERNS: The technician drove my vehicle 55 miles during service (odometer: 70,651 IN to 70,706 OUT). Why didn't they notice the warning lights during this excessive test drive? Operating a high voltage EV with improper grounding creates risk of electrical fire, shock hazard, and component damage. How many other vehicles at this dealership had recall 93U9 improperly completed? DEALER RESPONSE: Dealership attempted to charge me $2,089

Batery is giving electrical malfunction alert. Dealer diagnosed SX6 failed, replaced at 52,991 miles on Dec 22, 2022 (they agreed to replaced free of charge), at 104,741 miles on Jan 6 2025, dealer diagnosed sx6 failed again, needed to be replaced.thry refused to replace at no charge. During the research online I found that many audi EV cars owners reported the same problem which SX6 failure could potentially causes the car could completelystop while operating.

I am reporting a serious safety concern with the rear backup camera on my 2019 Audi e tron. The camera provides extremely poor visibility at night and in low light conditions, to the point that it is effectively unusable. The image is very dark and grainy, making it difficult or impossible to see pedestrians, vehicles, curbs, or other obstacles while reversing. This creates a significant safety hazard, especially in residential areas, parking lots, and garages where pedestrians may be present. The issue occurs under normal operating conditions and is not related to dirt or obstruction on the camera lens. The problem has been consistent since ownership and does not appear to be an isolated incident. Given that backup cameras are federally mandated safety equipment, this level of nighttime performance undermines their intended purpose and increases the risk of accidents, injuries, or property damage. I believe this may represent a design or hardware defect that warrants investigation.

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 getting into critical electrical components and could put the safety of passengers and other vehicles on the road in danger. The Audi USA has extended the warranty for the motor issue but hasn’t done anything regarding the SX6 modules. The vehicle’s electrical motors and HV battery should be closely inspected since those issues are prevalent and could be related to serious design flaws from factory. Audi USA hasn’t addressed those issues properly and it didn’t have a proper fix for its self disc

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 the brake-pedal input rod and brake-booster actuator rod. Interaction with Audi Corporate On [insert date], I contacted Audi of America Customer Experience (1-800-253-2834) to report this as a safety issue. During multiple calls, including one with a supervisor, I: Requested that Audi open a Safety Concern / Product Technical Case for review by Product Safety Engineering. Explained that my vehicle’s May 2019 build date places it within the recall’s production range. Was informed that no process exists to document or escalate

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 critical driver-assistance systems. I am filing this complaint to ensure it is formally investigated before a serious incident occurs.

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.
