Repeated A/C Failure in Extreme Heat Component: Air conditioning/cabin cooling Mileage: Approximately 49,350 miles as of XXX The vehicle repeatedly loses all A/C cooling in cabin in extreme heat (100°+F), with cooling returning in cooler weather. On XXX, traveling to [XXX], the A/C failed near [XXX]. After shutting off the vehicle for 20 minutes without success, we drove another 1.5 hours in 110–115°F heat with our two children. Audi Las Vegas serviced the refrigerant system August 10 at 47,069 miles, temporarily restoring cooling. On XXX, the A/C failed again in approximately 101°F heat during a trip to [XXX]. We drove approximately one hour of our trip home without cooling, with our children and [XXX] puppy, having to make unplanned stops along the way to attempt to stay cool. Audi Carlsbad could not reproduce the issue during its XXX inspection and recommended testing in hotter conditions. At Audi Rancho Mirage on XXX staff reportedly acknowledged frequent A/C issues with this model in hot climates. The dealership stated the system apparently prioritizes battery cooling over cabin cooling in high temperatures and offered no repair. The A/C failed again at pickup in 106°F heat and remained inoperative during our return trip. Safety Concern and Current Status Unpredictable loss of cabin cooling in extreme heat risks heat-related illness, particularly for children and other vulnerable occupants. The defect persists despite three dealership visits and refrigerant service. No warning lights, injuries, or crashes have been reported, and no permanent repair or definitive diagnosis has been provided. As of XXX the vehicle had approximately 49,350 miles, and we have limited its use to essential trips. We request that NHTSA investigate whether this recurring failure constitutes a safety defect.

I'm writing to report a serious safety issue with my 2023 Audi Q4. Today, Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at approximately 7:18 p.m. Eastern, my vehicle suddenly failed to accelerate from an intersection while I was driving, which nearly caused an accident. I was making a left turn from a T-intersection crossing a lane with opposing traffic, but my car accelerated very slowly causing the perpendicular to break (and honk). Fortunately, they were paying attention and slowed appropriately. Given the danger this poses, I want to formally report it so it can be investigated. This has not been confirmed by a dealer No warning lights were visible.

On Friday, XXX, I stopped my vehicle in a parking spot, exited, and returned to my vehicle. I put it in drive, moved from the parking spot, and before I could reach 10 mph, the vehicle began to shake/vibrate violently, and the dash lit up with electrical system malfunction warning. On Saturday, XXX, my [XXX] daughter, who was driving my [XXX] and [XXX] daughters home, called me to tell me that the vehicle failed and that she had "safely pulled into someone’s driveway". We had been out of town, and she was caring for her sisters and my vehicle has the carseats. My [XXX] daughters frequently drive my car. She was a mile away from home, so she did “the routine”. She had to do this 5 times - with me on the phone - just to get the vehicle home and her sisters to safety. After my husband and I returned home Saturday, XXX, we got in the vehicle so that we could possibly get it on video. We were able to finally get video evidence of the problem so that we can no longer be turned away from Audi with the excuse of “no evidence” of a problem. The history: XXX, I had my vehicle towed to Audi, because the electrical system malfunctioned in our driveway not in motion. I was told that the problem could not be replicated and, therefore, not resolved and that Audi “requests vehicle to be released to the customer”. On XXX, we contacted Audi once again to report two instances of the same problem, both which occurred while in motion. The vehicle then went limp and brought me to a stop on the side of the road, on a sharp bend, with, again, my two youngest children in the back seat. Then, my husband and I were in the vehicle and had stopped at a traffic light on a 55 mph road. XXX diagnosis: “Could not duplicate customer concern during several test drives, found no relevant fault codes” and “no obvious electrical or mechanical failures during hoist inspection at this time” were the notes in the report back to us.

The air conditioner warning light came on in April 2026. I took it to dealer to be checked. Dealer said no problem. That warning light went on intermittently through May, June and July. By end of July I took it back to dealer. The evaporator was indeed malfunctioning and emitting carbon dioxide into the cabin when the air conditioner was on. While repairing the evaporator system, the plastic cover over the ground stud broke and required replacement. The vehicle was out of service for 10 working days.

I am reporting a severe safety recall compliance failure and fraudulent reporting by an authorized dealership regarding a 2023 Audi electric vehicle. On May 30, 2024, under Repair Order 227719, the dealership officially certified to the NHTSA and Audi that Safety Recall 93U6 (Compact/Portable Charging System Cable) was fully completed. The dealership never actually removed or replaced the hazardous, fire-prone charging hardware. The original recalled cable (Part Number: 8V4.971.675.BB) remains in my home and is available for inspection. The dealer falsely reported a federal safety remedy as remedied while leaving a fire-hazardous component in a consumer's possession. The vehicle suffers from chronic, sporadic overnight charging failures where the vehicle indicates it is charging via a green indicator light but fails to draw power overnight. The vehicle was returned to the same dealer in July 2026 for this defect, at which point the false historical recall reporting was discovered on the printed history report
