Recent 2022 Audi E-Tron complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Seat Belts · reported Nov 6, 2026
The driver's seat belt sensor intermittently fails while driving at highway speeds, causing the Audi Pre Sense safety system to falsely deploy emergency pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners (tugging/cinching) without an actual collision threat. The vehicle forcefully tightens the seat belt around you while in motion, causing a severe driver distraction, physical discomfort, and an immediate crash risk. Since it happens so often while driving, I will sometimes take off the seat belt to keep from getting distracted and yanked on. I brought up this issue while my car was under the manufacturer…
Electrical System · reported Sep 5, 2026
While driving, the vehicle displayed three simultaneous warnings — “Drive system malfunction, safely stop vehicle,” “Electrical system malfunction, restart not possible, contact service,” and “All-wheel drive malfunction, limited stability” — and lost propulsion completely. This occurred on at least two separate occasions while driving. After each event, the vehicle would not restart for approximately 15 minutes, after which it began working again temporarily. The vehicle was taken to an authorized Audi dealer, which found no coolant in the front drive motor and diagnosed a…
Unknown or Other · reported May 6, 2026
From time to time the driver's door does not latch completely so the door is only partially closing. Dealer was able to duplicate the problem but will not replace (estimated cost for new door latch is just under $800.) at their expense. It appears that others have had the same problem. When driving the car air rushes into the vehicle as the door is not fully shut. I worry that this problem could be very serious should I be in an accident with a partially closed door rather than a fully closed door. The problem first appeared early in the winter and seems to be getting worse.
Service Brakes · reported May 4, 2026
Brakes were replaced by Audi with genuine Audi parts and within 2 months, the brake rotors became warped, requiring a resurfacing. After driving another 2 months, they once again became warped, making the entire car lurch and shake during braking.
Service Brakes · reported Mar 31, 2026
My drive motors keep failing (so far 3 times) and my emergency braking abruptly stops my vehicle when no true danger is present and I’m in complete control of my vehicle. Currently my vehicle has a constant shuddering while braking which doesn’t feel safe because it’s not braking properly. Audi regional and the dealership refuses to take ownership of the issue. Dealer has confirmed issue and replaced drive motors three times. Each time my braking system has gotten worse. The part was replaced each time under warranty but Audi has not confirmed that a fix has been found and corrected.…
