When it was started, a warning message indicated air suspension failure, then an attempt to correct. The front raised itself and the warning stopped. I took it to the dealer for a charging recall the next day and told them about it, but nothing was found. A month later, yesterday, the same thing occurred, and I took it to t https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e#complaint-2150171 Wed, 19 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT The contact owns a 2024 Audi Q5 E. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V080000 (Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available.

In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the same local dealer for an unknown warning message and an unknown https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e#complaint-2146841 Fri, 07 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT Our vehicle started jerking when it transitioned from EV mode to Hybrid (gas engine). I found TSB 2079556, which describes exactly the diagnostic codes our car has for all eight battery packs. This is clearly a known problem, and as the car is out of its original warranty I would have to pay for this myself. Audi should replace the battery packs free of charge as they were clearly defective. https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e#complaint-2142126 Wed, 22 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT I understand that there have been recalls for the brake booster in some 2020 Audi Q5s. I have had my brake booster light come on, but my VIN is not in the recall. My car has less than 50,000 miles on it and I should not be having this issue. I think my car should be recalled and this issue should be fixed by Audi. The cost to repair this issue is around $3000. https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e https://plaincars.com/make/audi-q5-e#complaint-2141255 Sun, 19 Oct 2025 00:00:00 GMT In July 2025, I received Recall 93AA (24V988 / 25V080) regarding a defect in the high-voltage battery of my 2024 Audi Q5 Hybrid.
