2022 AUDI Q3 Complaints

According to the owner’s manual, “Lane guidance provides corrective steering to assist the driver with keeping the vehicle in the center of the lane.” On delivery of the vehicle, I noticed that in highway conditions the system consistently steered the vehicle to hug the right side of the lane. I had to “fight” to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Also, the Advanced Driver Assist Lane Guidance feature randomly shut itself off. I could switch it back on in the touch screen menu. Subsequently the Advanced Driver Assist Lane Guidance option completely disappeared from the menu. The only way to get the option to re-appear in the menu is to either reboot the Multi Media Interface or shut off and restart the vehicle. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Absolutely no warning when the Lane Guidance stops functioning and disappears from the menu. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? 1)The Lane Guidance does’t always work, allowing vehicle to leave the lane. (Note that when it DOES work the vehicle hugs the right side of the lane, distracting drivers in the adjacent lane.) 2)Attempts to get the system to work as designed causes a significant driver distraction. 3)Lane Guidance, promoted as a safety feature, is simply unreliable. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The vehicle manufacturer Audi of America (AoA) has offered suggestions to the dealer on how to repair the vehicle. Initially AoA told the dealer that the issue was caused by using a non-Audi charging cable in the USB port. The problem continued without anything plugged into the USB ports. Then on AoA’s recommendation, the dealer replaced a fiber optic cable. That did not fix the problem. No advice from the vehicle manufacturer is fixing the problem.

Two items: 1. Infotainment review camera does not show in a timely fashion. There is an open recall for this but my vehicle is not listed in the campaign. It is unclear why not. The firmware is from march of 2021 for a feb 2022 q3 build. I wish they would fix this. 2. ADAS park assist chimes do NOT always chime when other audi sources are playing. In particular, with Android Auto attached and after a previous phone call ends, park assist chime audio is not played. The graphical indicators may show on the screen. Other audio sources are prioritized such as android audio route guidance, or streaming audio.

My 2022 Audi Q3 was recalled for a safety recall related to a fuel tank internal vent pipe. I took my car to the dealer for the recall and after inspection I was told that my car did not exhibit the defect stated in the recall and did not need repair. Approximately 15 months later (total mileage 14962) the check engine light came on and after taking to the dealer for inspection I was told that the issue was with the fuel system but there was no repair currently available and that Audi was aware of the problem and would contact me. They deleted the code that would trigger the check engine light for this problem. Out of sight of of mind. If the initial recall was a safety issue and if the same or similar problem persists without subsequent recalls or repairs I am concerned for my safety and the safety of my family.

Headlights-Headlights are intentionally designed to accentuate two diagonal slashes ('/') in their beams. Consequently, when these beams project light, they tend to illuminate more of the front right side in the darkness. This shift in illumination can divert the driver's attention from the center of the lane towards the right, leading to an unnatural driving pattern and distraction. This effect is particularly pronounced in mountain passes, where the headlights tend to light up the ditches on the front right side instead of maintaining focus on the center of the road. I visited the Oakland Audi dealer for assistance, and they informed me that this design is intentional, and there is no corrective action they can take.

My vehicle was idling and came to a complete stop and stopped the engine and then an electrical malfunction message appeared and the car wouldn’t start back up. Various error messages started to appear on the drivers display (tpms, abs stabilization, lane assistance disabled)

We have spoken with the dealership multiple times about the safety concern of the recall on this vehicle. We have gotten nowhere with them. It is required that every vehicle have a backup camera for safety reasons and this does not work die to this recall. They are just dismissing anything and should be providing a replacement vehicle that does work until they are able to fix this problem.

The break and gas pedal are made of hard plastic and they are very slippery. The should have been made of rubber to prevent slippage. I’m my opinion this is a safety issue.

When I turn on child safety lock and begin driving, a warning message pops up on dashboard screen with the message “Child safety lock malfunction.” When the message pops up, the child safety locks turn off on their own.
