Electrical System · reported Jul 29, 2026
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…
Electrical System · reported Jul 8, 2026
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…

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…
Tires · reported Apr 20, 2026
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.
