2019 AUDI Q3 — Complaint #2085716
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:INTERIOR PANELS:SUN VISOR filed April 24, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2085716 (ODI reference 11656567) concerns a 2019 AUDI Q3 and was filed on April 24, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 22, 2024. The vehicle had 56,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Louisiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:interior panels:sun visor, 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 Q3 cohort independently describe similar structure:interior panels:sun visor 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 2019 AUDI Q3 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
