From owner reports, verbatim
While traveling at 45mph in traffic engine shuts off causing bike to decelerate rapidly almost getting rear ended. I have read many post of this same thing happening with others.
Bike will Stall occasional from a stop while trying to accelerate under light throttle. Just had a stall in heavy traffic waiting on a light to turn left off The Las Vegas Strip.. not cool, don't think its a DTC issue I think its the engine mapping, funny thing is when I had started the bike while I suited up it stalled while idling just 5 min before. I always ride S3/Urban in the city. Had a stall a few weeks back after a long highway ride in S3/Tour, same deal, waiting for a light to turn left. Just over 3200 Miles on it. Have had 4 stalls total.

Electrical
Reports naming the electrical system — wiring, battery, charging, control modules, infotainment and electrical accessories.
From owner reports, verbatim
TFT/MID (Multi Instrument Display) fails to show any information, including speed, RPMs, gear selection, fuel gauge, etc. Can be inspected upon request. Safety compromised as vital information on the vehicle is not available. Problem is ongoing. Vehicle will be taken to dealership for further diagnostics. Due to nature or failure, no messages (or any other vehicle information) can be displayed. Failure occurred randomly while vehicle in motion, and will not resolve after many troubleshooting steps.

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.
