This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

The fuel pump is what the issues is with my 2022 Audi Q3 it has been replaced twice in three years of me having the vehicle the first time was in November 2022 a year after I got it came out of the store, and it would not start. The second time I was in a fast-food restaurant line, and it just cut off in line, so I had to try and get it started and out of the line before it cut off again got it tow into the dealership, and it was replaced again in November 2024.
Two issues: The rear view camera is not reliable. It sometimes fails to engage or becomes covered up by another graphics layer such as the user authentication screen. In some cases it comes late or the steering angles lines are rendered very late or missing. Second, the forward ultrasound park assist chimes often do not chime. The audio is ducked under other audio sources such as Spotify. This is quite serious and has almost caused some issues. Yet, if the alternate audio source is stopped, the adas chimes immediately become audible without moving the vehicle further. This issue has been reported to Audi for 3 years and despite best efforts, they have never applied a software fix citing none available. No dealership offers no remedy or escalation since it's hard to reproduce on demand. I have videos available upon request.
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.
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)
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2022 Audi Q3. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V806000 (Equipment, Back Over Prevention), however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. An unknown local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
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.
Audi informed me that even though there was an initiated safety recall, and there was a test of our vehicle that confirmed the problem that the recall had identified such that the fuel tank should be replaced, they have recalculated the parameters for the recall and after further testing decided that the vehicle now is no longer unsafe. We do not believe them.
The Audi MMI infotainment software will control itself. For example, with my cellphone as the main audio device, the software will randomly switch to bluetooth, radio, or XM. The GPS will stop navigating which is the biggest concern when it does happen. It is an instant distraction that is hard to ignore. Especially when navigation is needed. Also, the garage door 'button' does not work sometimes which is not enjoyable during the snowy seasons where I have to actually get out and walk across slippery ground to close my garage. I have video proof and showed it to Audi dealership in Westwood, MA. They told me there is a pending recall but no solution so they sent me back out with the car. I talked with Audi corporate online and they mentioned: "Can you confirm pending recall that you're referring to? I ask because I checked 3 resources and no recall is showing pending on your vehicle." I'm hearing one thing from Audi dealership, and another from corporate. I have not heard back from either since talking with them. I would just like some follow up and to know when a solution is available. This is very concerning that they say there is a known issue with no fix and send me back out with an unresolved vehicle. The software can be very distracting and unsafe when it does not work and does it's own thing by itself. Attached are two pictures of my service invoice. Please note: "Confirmed clients concerns, found infotainment recall pending for the vehicle. No software updates available at this time." I can provide videos I took on my phone showing the screen bugging out by itself if needed. Thank you for your time looking at this!
Component: MMI inconsistently plays parking collision chimes. Safety: Inconsistent chime playback may result in collision with objects during parking. Reproduction: Not reproduced by dealer. Sporadic 1 to 3 times weekly. Inspected by dealer: No. Difficult to reproduce on demand. Warning indicators: None. Description: The Audio MMI (MIB3) fails to duck audio sources consistently and as a result may play entertainment audio on top of the parking collision chimes. The parking collision chimes are not playing. Shifting out of drive into reverse or park and back to drive will cause the chimes to play without moving the vehicle further. Video examples available upon request. Site does not allow video upload. (Please add this feature).
