While normal driving the screen infotainment system or MMI turns off and takes a few minutes to come back up. When it comes back up it does not remember the user and asks for a PIN code. This is very disruptive as it happens while driving and is not safe to drive while it is rebooting It also happens randomly and there is no pattern to it , can happen once or twice or not happen for a given drive period

In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same local dealer for an unknown warning message and an unknown warning light; however, the failure codes were cleared due to no failures being identified. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
In July 2025, I received Recall 93AA (24V988 / 25V080) regarding a defect in the high-voltage battery of my 2024 Audi Q5 Hybrid. The recall states there is a risk of thermal overload and possible fire. I brought the car to the authorized dealer on August 13, 2025, where my service advisor confirmed there was no available repair. I called again on October 14, 2025, and was told there is still no remedy. Audi’s instructions prohibit charging the vehicle until the recall is resolved, which completely disables the hybrid system. This has made the car partially unusable and unsafe to operate as intended. It has been over three months since the recall notice, and no timeline for a fix has been provided by either Audi Corporate or the dealer. The defect has been acknowledged by Audi but remains unresolved, representing an unreasonable delay in remedy for a safety-related issue.
Recall for battery potentially causing fires issued in July 2025 (25V080) and September 2025 (24V898 / 25V080) have not been resolved. No fix is currently available and no availability estimate has been provided. This delay and lack of fix availability are unacceptable. Furthermore, ability to use battery charger in July 2025 per manufacturer's recall letter has now been changed in the September 2025 recall letter to instruct owners not to charge the vehicle from external sources.

Recall for battery potentially causing fires issued in November 2024 has not been resolved.
There is an active recall. I went to the dealer to have it resolved. I was told there is no fix and not sure when there will be a resolution. That is unacceptable in my opinion. Especially when it pertains to the battery and there is a heightened risk for fire. I am reliant on having a vehicle to get to work. This concerns me deeply and should be fixed or considered a lemon based on no resolution.
I want to report a very serious problem I had yesterday with my Audi Q5e 2024 with 5,000 miles as I’m coming home on the freeway during rush hour my car started slowing down and then came to a dead stop in the middle of the freeway not to mention the car was frozen and would not move I’m scared to drive this car at this point and lucky I was not hit from behind and killed, the vehicle had to be flat bed towed to Fletcher Jones Audi Costa Mesa after sitting on the freeway scared to death waiting for a tow truck. This must to corrected by Audi as I have never had a vehicle lock up and will not move all by its self.
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.
