Audi’s wireless charging pad in 2021–2024 A4/A5/Q5 models: •Overheats the phone •Triggers a thermal radio throttle •iPhone temporarily disables Bluetooth hardware •Audi MMI sees that and throws: “Bluetooth function is currently unavailable.” •Wireless CarPlay collapses because it needs Bluetooth + WiFi Direct •Audio goes dead along with it This EXACT sequence is documented across A4/A5/Q3/Q5 forums and Audi service bulletins. The pad is the culprit — not your phone, not the car. When bluetooth and apple car play shut down, so do directions which causes driver to scramble to find phone and follow phone screen which distracts drivers and causes accidents. It happens every time you use the tray after 5-20 minutes. Very scary for older drivers. Would like NHTSA to pressure Audi into a recall and fix the pad at Audi's expense. I bought the car to use the wireless charger, not have to work around it. And it is exceptionally unsafe.
Steering malfunction indicator light illuminated and I experienced a total loss of power steering. Brought car to Dealer Service Center. Was informed that the problem is related to a known software issue and that an update to the software is expected sometime toward the end of Q4 2024. In the interim, DTC's have been set to passive and the steering malfunction indicator light has been deactivated.
See attached document for complaint.
I was driving up a clear road, heard and exploding sound and witnessed my drivers side window shatter. The glass that was not protected by tint, I could hear crumbling into the frame. I could not see out of my window and thankfully did not swerve due to scare of the explosion sound.Upon looking online, others have experienced this with Audis. There were no warnings present. Vehicle has not been inspected or repaired yet. Nothing was noted in the road, no marks on vehicles.
After fueling, MPG was 370 and dropped to 325 within one minute. Same night, vehicle began to jerk back and forth and cluster stated "Drive system: malfunction! Please contact Service." Took to dealership next morning and service stated fuel pump codes popped up. The vehicle is just leased and only has 1,000 miles.
