2022 Audi Audi Q3Engine & cooling

I am convinced that the defective cooling system for which there was a class action lawsuit against Audi that included the Q3 through year 2021 persists in the Audi Q3 year 2022. I purchased my Audi Q3 year 2022 in October 2021. Early in my ownership experience I reported to the Dealership that the coolant indicator light flashes on when driving on the highway, but it was explained away as a matter for which not to worry. So, I became accustomed to the indicator light flashing on until the message to turn off...

engine and check coolant level also appeared and I experienced the exorbitant out-of-pocket repair amount of $2,656.14 to replace the water pump and thermostat unit. The Defect: The plastic/thermoplastic water pump, thermostat housing, and integrated coolant modules are prone to cracking or leaking internally from thermal cycling, leading to coolant loss and potential engine overheating.

2022 Audi Audi Q3Fuel system

Description of Safety Failure:I am writing to report a recurring, premature safety failure of the fuel delivery system that poses an immediate risk of engine stalling at highway speeds. The original factory fuel pump failed at approximately 75,000 miles and required replacement. A brand-new replacement fuel pump has now failed prematurely just 30,000 miles later (at 114,000 total vehicle miles).This vehicle's specific failure pattern perfectly mirrors the structural vacuum, pressure regulation, and fuel pump...

failure modes explicitly detailed in active federal safety campaign NHTSA Recall 22V673000 (Audi Recall 20DS) regarding a damaged internal tank vent pipe.When running this vehicle's VIN through the NHTSA database, it currently states "0 Unrepaired Recalls." This indicates that my specific vehicle was excluded from the original manufacturing batch of 13,004 affected vehicles. However, given that multiple fuel pumps are being rapidly destroyed by localized fuel delivery pressure failure, it is clear that the scope of Campaign 22V673000 was drawn too narrowly by Volkswagen Group of America. I am requesting that the NHTSA review this complaint to investigate an expansion of the fuel tank recall to include this vehicle block before an unaddressed tank defect causes a catastrophic highway stall. This vehicle also had two EVSP leak detection pumps replaced 3 months after the first fuel pump of August 2025 which was November 2025. When asked about a recall the service manager and Audi Corporate says my vehicle has no recalls and does not even acknowledge that this issue could possibly be apart of the 13,000 vehicle made in 2021 and 2022, being that my vehicle is going through a fuel month every year or so. Why would three fuel pumps be installed in one vehicle in 4 years. Please help me in understanding this. They have replaced a total of 3 fuel pumps and they lied to say one when they had.

2022 Audi Audi Q3Electrical system

Dear Sir or Madam: I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2022 Audi Q3 involving water intrusion from the sunroof. At approximately 41,000 miles, approximately a month ago, water began leaking through the front edge of the sunroof despite the sunroof never being opened prior to the issue. The leak was not caused by clogged drains or lack of maintenance. Water entered through the overhead console, resulting in failure of the interior lighting system causing lights to flicker on/off and water dripping...

directly onto me, the driver, while operating the vehicle. These issues created a significant distraction and potential safety hazard, especially during night driving. The dealership diagnosed the issue and confirmed that the repair required modification of the sunroof assembly and track to correct a water intrusion problem. This was not a routine maintenance issue. The total cost of repair was $1,259.18, which I paid out-of-pocket. Additionally, the service advisor at the dealership stated that this is a frequent problem seen on Audi Q3 vehicles and expressed surprise that it has not already been subject to a recall. Given that this issue involves water intrusion affecting electrical components and actively interfering with safe vehicle operation, I believe this may represent a broader design or manufacturing defect impacting vehicle safety. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this issue for potential investigation and possible recall action. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Vehicle was serviced in 2025 for an electrical issue impacting multiple electrical components of car. Approximately one year later the car is back in the shop for both an electrical issue causing lane departure and now lane keep assist to trigger an error. I was told by the local dealership that it is likely related to an electrical module underneath the bumper of the rear of the car. The dealer is franchise and does not share records with other Audi dealerships and therefore unable to evaluate the problem with the...
