The contact owns a 2019 Audi A7. The contact stated the engine had been overheating, and the contact had to pull over to add coolant to the coolant reservoir before continuing to drive. The failure became more persistent within the last 2 months. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and it was determined that there was coolant leaking into the engine from the water pump, vacuum lines, and the cooling system was inoperable. The part was ordered to repair the vehicle. The contact researched online and discovered that there was a Class Action Lawsuit associated with the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.

I am reaching out to update complaint number 11503265. Back in October of 2022, my vehicle turned off on me one time at the gas station and would not start until I waited 5 minutes. The vehicle did the same thing about 15 minutes later after I arrived at a friends' house. Following that incident later on that night it happened again. I have also had some issues with the vehicle not accelerating.

Received an electrical malfunction - please call service warning icon on dash display. In less than one mile, I received cascading sequential warnings - including transmission and steering warnings - please pull over now. I attempted to exit the freeway on the next ramp, on the I10 Freeway in Claremont, CA on the Monte Vista Exit - but the car completely lost all power and electric (dash and all screens were dark) blocking a traffic lane. Was stranded there for over 45 Minutes until AAA/Highway Patrol were able to obtain a tow truck. Car was towed to dealer and found out it is a known issue with the 48V Alternator System in 2019 Model Year Audis. Found out alternator is unavailable due to supply chain issues and car will be out of service for at least 4 weeks! Per research on Audi Forms, this is a known issue and Audi should be recalling these vehicles and performing the KNOWN software update (TSB Software Update 27-22-45 - Version 527) on all 2019-2020 Audi vehicles with this system. I was in fear of being rear-ended and injured - and to find out this should not have happened is very disappointing. Please require Audi to recall these vehicles and update the software so others are NOT put in this same life threatening situation - and then forced to wait until the vehicle can be fixed - currently at least 4 weeks! It has happened to MANY others - just check the Audi Owner Forums on the internet. Thank you for your consideration.

2019 AUDI A7: AT A STOPLIGHT, OR STOP SIGN, WHERE THERE IS EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INCLINE, AFTER MY 2019 AUDI A7 HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF, WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO ENGAGE THE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE DOES NOT ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY AND THE CAR SHOOTS/ROLLS BACKWARDS. THE ROLLBACK IS SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH THAT THE REAR CAMERA TURNS ON. BECAUSE OF THE LAPSE IN TIME BEFORE THE ENGINE ENGAGES AGAIN, I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND AM UNABLE TO KEEP IT FROM SHOOTING BACKWARDS I'VE SPOKEN TO MY SALES REPRESENTATIVE AND AUDI'S CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY TECHNICIANS AT BOTH THE FAIRFIELD AND DANBURY CONNECTICUT AUDI LOCATIONS, AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. IN FACT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND HAVE SAVED VOICEMAILS FROM AUDI SERVICE, THAT ALL THEIR VEHICLES ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE OF THE DOUBLE-CLUTCH, THAT IT IS "COMPLETELY NORMAL," AND THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO ADJUST MY DRIVING. BECAUSE I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE CAR WHEN IT DOES THIS, AND AUDI IS NOT RESOLVING THE ISSUE FOR ME, THIS IS GOING TO LEAVE ME OPEN TO LIABILITY SHOULD THE CAR ROLL/SHOOT BACK INTO ANY VEHICLE STOPPED BEHIND ME, OR PERSON WHO MAY WALK BEHIND MY CAR WHEN I AM STOPPED. I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE THIS CAR FOR FEAR OF INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE, AND HAVEN'T DRIVEN THE CAR IN OVER A MONTH.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
