This 2019 Audi A6 purchased on Aug/2020 brand new from an authorized Audi dealer, after several complaints on its breaking behavior it has been diagnosed at the dealer with "Bended Brake Discs or Pressure Plates". Vehicle has been used as a family car an driven in a normal way only by myself. The odometer currently reads 32,165 miles. I believe that the material or workmanship were/are defective. The safety issue is in relation to the longer distance it takes to break and the extreme vibration on the steering wheel when going over 55+mph. No warning messages or any other vehicle feedback is received.

Massive safety liability here. My 2019 Audi A6 was on the highway traveling at 75mph on 4/25/2023 at noon when with no prior warning, all of the electrical systems started failing rapidly. In the course of 90 seconds, there was an electrical malfunction warning, quickly followed by malfunction warnings for steering, brakes, and cascading shutdowns of all systems like the transmission, ABS, Collision Warning, Lane Departure, lights, hazard warning lights, instrument screens/clusters, HVAC, windows- literally everything. A complete failure of every component and safety system while driving highspeed is extremely dangerous. Had this happened at night, I would have been bricked in the middle of the road without headlights, hazard lights, airbags, etc. The car had to be towed away to the dealership and is available for inspection. The dealer is aware of this issue and called it a 48 volt starter/ alternator issue which is apparently systemic/ widespread with 2019-21 Audi 48 volt architectures; parts are generally backordered for months. Please take note: There is an extremely high risk that someone will be killed and seriously injured as a result of this defect. The vehicle is awaiting inspection and repair at an Audi dealership. It is under extended manufacturers warranty at 50,700 miles. No other diagnostics/ inspections/ or reports have taken place yet.

When I park my car for hours and try to drive again, I get very loud noise every time I brake. And after 2-3minutes later noise is gone. (daytime and night time) when I go to Audi service. They told me its normal. But I never this happend before. I'm ashamed that people look at me whenever I hear this sound. Even cars that are more than 10 years old don't sound like this, but I've had this phenomenon not long after I bought it.

Audi westmont leased me a brand new 2019 A6 last November 12, 2018. They claim "all" of Audi's 2019 A6's come with "summer tires" on them and getting an "all season" or "winter" tire is not possible unless I pay another $2,690.83 for four more "wheels and winter tires". I drove the vehicle for two months on their "summer tires" Bridgestone turanza T005 summer tires. On two separate occasions with less than one inch of snow on the ground, I totally lost control of the car while braking. My wife refused to ride again with me with the tires that came with the car. I finally went back in and had to purchase from them four new sotozero3 winter tires and four new wheels. I now have 8 new tires and 8 new wheels. My complain is with Audi, not the dealer. Selling or leasing these vehicles with summer tires only in a geographical area that experiences winters such as Suburban Chicago, is a disaster waiting to happen. Audi needs to be stopped before someone dies. Thank you!
