Batery is giving electrical malfunction alert.

On the very day I purchased the vehicle (07/22/2025), the high-voltage battery module pack failed, and the vehicle had to be immediately taken back for service. I did not receive it back until 08/08/2025. I was told it was fully repaired and safe. On 09/02/2025, the vehicle suffered multiple simultaneous safety-system failures, including: • “Audi Adaptive Light: Malfunction” • “High Beam Assistant: Malfunction” • “Audi Pre Sense: Currently Limited” (collision-avoidance system) • The vehicle also failed to charge that day. As of today, a new “Exit Warning Malfunction” warning has appeared. This is the third critical safety or high-voltage system failure in less than 90 days. At no point was I informed of any prior safety or recall issues before purchase. Each time, the dealership insisted repairs were complete — yet additional safety failures continue. This vehicle appears to have an ongoing electrical/safety system instability, potentially involving the high-voltage battery and critical driver-assistance systems. I am filing this complaint to ensure it is formally investigated before a serious incident occurs.

I received the letter about 23V867 recall on this vehicle over two weeks ago. Letter indicates vehicle requires repair (per Audi's online data as recorded with data collection performed from the vehicle itself) NOW. I called to make an appointment with Audi Silver Spring [XXX] ) and initially I was told they will have to order new battery modules. A week later (this morning 2/29/2024) I was texted that they cannot perform the repair as they do not have cell balancer tool :( and this will take another two weeks. So while Audi indicates my vehicle is in imminent fire hazard, yet their dealers are not capable of repairing this issue, even though letter indicates repairs should be performed now. I am extremely concerned with the safety of the vehicle, passengers and my property while vehicle is parked on the driveway due to fire hazard. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The trunk has one of those built in sensors underneath so that you can close it by waving your foot under the trunk. This can end up being very dangerous, especially since the trunk is deep. On several occasions, as I have been reaching deep into the trunk to grab some stuff, but foot ends up tripping the sensor under the car to start the trunk hatch closing, while I'm in the middle of the closing area! If I didn't quickly move, the trunk would have closed on my body. In other instances, the trunk door has hit me on the head.

Early in January of this year - - Got the message on the dash ('ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION'). - Then a 2nd. message ('PULL OVER WHEN SAFE TO DO SO'). - Then a final message ('DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DRIVE'). Vehicle was still driveable and I was able to make it back to the house. - Vehicle was towed to the Shawnee Mission Kansas Audi dealership Where it has been since January 4 First attempt to repair was to replace the battery control module (parts from Germany). That resulted in a series of new error codes being generated. So more parts from Germany (not sure what all this included). Ok so the tech was driving it around the lot at the dealership and the Turtle appeared and the car stopped. So back into the shop. So the latest is they found a leak from the battery coolant system, leaking directly onto the front motor. Ok so now I am waiting for a 'NEW MOTOR' and who knows what else from Germany. Ok so with that said, I did a little digging around on my own. The actual problem is caused by a faulty gasket. Found this below on an auto blog site discussing the Audi E-Tron. The situation described below is potentially extremely dangerous. So my problem apparently is common with this vehicle: ".... The e-tron shut-down appears to be caused in some cases by a failing gasket which allows coolant to leak into the motor. The fix is a new motor which, though it should be covered by the warranty, takes a long time while the dealer waits for delivery of a whole new e-tron motor. Some drivers have been left stranded in another state, hundreds of miles from home, with a vehicle that will not even turn on and takes weeks to repair. .... "
