Starter Generator failure of the 48v Mild hybrid system. This issue is very common, and has a recall on the 2019+ audi a6 (however its because of a risk of electrical fire). Car sends errors to driver as many electrical components begin to fail and fault one by one, steering wheel dynamics shifted while in motion (as steering module failed), air suspension faults occurred. The car inevitably died during operation. Was stuck inside of vehicle, the internal door handles are powered by the 48v system, they are not mechanical latches. Car stalls out when the 48v battery fails. I have had this part replaced on my car, dealership says there are 8 just like it in the past 2 months. Very common issue for Audi's. As more of these find their way on the road, each car magnifies the risks to vehicle owners and other drivers as these issues are becoming more in more common in 3 year old Audi models.

The electrical malfunction light came on while driving. Then my spoiler malfunction light came on. After that my dash board lit up like a Christmas tree. All kinds of lights came on. My car stopped in the middle of traffic. Had Audi care tow it to a Audi dealership. The SA says it's an alternator issue and there is no eta when the part will be in. They have over 30 cars at each Audi dealership around the city with no recall, or loaners. I may be without a car for a month or more.

"Electrical System Malfunction!" warning popped up, along with "Start/Stop Malfunction!". Car seemed to drive fine. Called dealership to make appointment to drop off car. Drove car another 8 miles, was on the way to the dealership when all components of the vehicle shut down, many warning lights then the vehicle went into limp mode and completely died. I was on a 50mph stretch of the highway and had to pull into the center median/divider for safety because there was no shoulder. Vehicle had to be towed. This appears to be an issue on many 2019+ Audis right now and turns out it is an alternator failure. I'm wondering if it's software related as it is happening on many Audi's right now.

The contact owns a 2019 Audi A7. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated.

The vehicle was not repaired because the part was on backorder. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 27,000.

My vehicle had a complete electrical failure, when caused everything to shut down. The engine, door locks, hazards, power steering, e brake, etc. were all inoperable. On Sunday, Nov 20th, I received a yellow warning light that said, "electrical system malfunction, please contact service." I parked the car and called the dealer the following morning to ask how sever this warning was (could I drive the car or does this require a tow?). They advised me to bring the car in. While heading to the dealership, I received several other warning lights in rapid succession: electrical system malfunction, safely stop vehicle; parking aid malfunction, transmission malfunction, rear spoiler malfunction, and others. The vehicle died about 30 seconds after these warning lights appeared. I was on the highway in morning rush hour traffic at the time, but I was in the right lane and was able to coast to an off-ramp and park on the side of the road. With little to no control over the car, I could have easily been in accident. The dealer has confirmed that the cause was the start-stop generator, which caused a fault in the Mild Hybrid system and 48V battery. The car is still "bricked" and located at Audi New Orleans. It is available for inspection if needed (parts are not expected anytime soon).

I had just purchased a used 2019 A7 Prestige and the next day (April 1st) while coming back from an appointment 7 miles away I had five electrically related failures in a very short time frame. The last error message was ominous so I was glad I was in my driveway when it happened. When the spoiler failure happened it automatically popped up. In addition to all these failures the AC was not working. So it seems to be an electrical system wide issue. Alas, this is a known issue with the 2019 A6, A7, and A8 models. I've posted the error messages in an online Audi owners site to spread the word and found many, many more people that have had this same issue. NOTE: The vehicle in/out mileage on the service report is incorrect. The correct numbers are 37702/37705. The car sat at the dealership for days before the repair parts arrived. There we NO loaner cars available which caused additional inconvenience.

I received a warning and multiple dash lights indicating electrical malfunction. Upon coming to a red stoplight, the car died and would not restart. After the light turned green, I was nearly rear-ended by a large truck traveling at ~50 mph but luckily it was able to swerve out of the way. After about 10 minutes, the car restarted but the warning messages persisted. I drove immediately to the dealership for service where they diagnosed an issue with the mild hybrid 48v battery system and starter/generator/alternator. There are no parts available and it is sitting at the dealership along with at least 12 similar vehicles with the same issue. This needs to be recalled immediately as it is a major safety issue as I was nearly in a major accident due to the issue.
