Steering · reported Nov 4, 2026
I am reporting a recurring safety concern with my Audi Q5 55 TFSI e plug-in hybrid involving Active Lane Assist malfunction warnings and unexpected steering movement. Soon after purchasing the vehicle, I took it to an authorized Audi dealership multiple times for the same driver-assistance malfunction. The issue was not permanently resolved and has recently returned. On October 11, 2026, at approximately 20,702 miles, the dashboard displayed âAudi active lane assist: malfunction! See ownerâs manualâ while I was driving at about 13 mph. I recorded the warning on video. Active Lane Assist…
Service Brakes · reported Aug 20, 2026
I purchased the car in October, 2023. The problem first happened in October, 2025 and not happened just once. The vehicle breaks unnecessarily and violently without any warning. Additionally the pre-sense collision indicator light displays when there is no apparent person, vehicle or object in the vicinity of the vehicle. The abrupt breaking is the most concerning since it has happened multiple times and at one point, I was in the middle of an intersection making a left turn into a shopping center on a busy street. There were cars coming in the distance but far enough away that it should not…
Electrical System · reported Apr 29, 2026
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
Lane Departure · reported Apr 18, 2026
The system continues to sound an alarm and flash a warning that lane departure and collision is malfunctioning. We took it to the dealership, they told us two things: it may be a software glitch but they couldnât recreate it and all systems are normal currently. We live 2.5 hours from the dealership and had to take the day off, rent a vehicle during the repair because no loaner was available. We started our return trip, the vehicle sounded the warning an additional three times yesterday and then again today 3 more times by lunch.
Engine · reported Mar 28, 2026
My 2024 Audi Q5 plug-in hybrid (VIN [XXX] ) has twice lost accelerator response when transitioning from battery power to gasoline power. In both events, the warning message displayed was: âDrive system: malfunction! Please contact Service.â In both events, the accelerator stopped responding and normal operation was restored only after the vehicle was stopped and restarted. First incident: On 1/20/2025 at 4:12 PM. The battery level reached zero and the vehicle switched from battery power to gas. The warning message appeared and the accelerator stopped working. We had to leave the highway…
