2022 AUDI E-TRON — Complaint #2049249
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR filed December 18, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2049249 (ODI reference 11631434) concerns a 2022 AUDI E-TRON and was filed on December 18, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 22, 2023. The vehicle had 15,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same AUDI E-TRON cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:rotor failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 AUDI E-TRON shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2022 Audi E-Tron. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the rotors were pulsating and shaking. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, unknown sensors engaged without an object or vehicle nearby. The contact had set the system to the lowest sensitivity. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the front rotors were worn. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer informed the contact that the vehicle had not been driven properly and was a maintenance issue. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.
