What owners report
While driving in the left lane on a particularly bumpy section of Interstate 5 South in Seattle (just before the NE 50th Street overpass), I had to quickly hit my brakes as traffic abruptly slowed. The Audie "Pre-sense" sytem did trigger, but emergency autonomous braking did not. My car did not slow down as I hit the brake, and I had to swerve onto the shoulder and put it in "B" mode to trigger full regenerative braking to stop the car. The weather was clear and the road was dry. I had previously had the vehicle in to the dealer as the brakes were making a load creaking sound, which they indicated was normal. The day after this most recent incident, the vehicle was towed (at the dealership
I purchased a new 2024 Audi Q4 e-tron. The first malfunction occurred in January 2025 when a dashboard warning appeared stating the vehicle was âunable to read traffic or road signs.â The dealer confirmed a front-camera sensor failure and replaced the camera under Repair Order #193312 (1/17/25 â 1/29/25) at approximately 397 miles. In February 2025, the vehicle displayed repeated âdrive system malfunctionâ warnings and would not start reliably. The dealer determined the issue was linked to the 12-volt battery and replaced it under RO #194457 (2/24/25 â 3/14/25, 866 miles). Soon after, persistent drive-system and electrical faults continued (RO #195096 and #195241 from 3/17 â 3

The warning labels that are posted on the front of the sun visors are a visual distraction that diminish the forward sight line of the driver. When I cover the warning label with my hand the depth of field and forward sight line is greatly improved. I removed this label from previous vehicles that I owned. However, the sticker on this vehicle is part of the visor and can not be removed. I have never read this warning label, nor has anyone in my family. In my opinion, all warnings and precautions should be placed in the owner's manual. It is impossible to place every precaution or warning on a sun visor label. The label diminishes the drivers visibility and is another item that has to be ment
