Audi Q3 Steering problems by year

involving an **Audi loaner vehicle that was provided to me by the Audi dealership while my 2024 Audi Q3 was being repaired**. While I was driving the Audi loaner vehicle, **the wheel/wheel assembly came off the vehicle while it was in motion**. This was an extremely dangerous situation that could have resulted in a catastrophic accident, serious injury, or death. The loaner Audi has a different VIN from my 2024 Audi Q3. I do not currently have that VIN available, but the dealership should have records identifying the exact loaner vehicle that was assigned to me while my Q3 was being repaired. I am reporting both situations because I believe these safety concerns need to be properly documented and investigated. A wheel coming off a vehicle while it is being driven, along with the braking, wheel/sensor, parking-recognition, and related safety concerns I have experienced with my own Audi, raises very serious concerns for me. I do not want another driver or family to experience something similar. These are not simply convenience or cosmetic issues. They involve systems and components that can directly affect the safe operation and control of a vehicle and potentially put people's lives at risk. I respectfully request that NHTSA review these incidents and determine whether further investigation is warranted. I am willing to provide repair records, dealership communications, photographs, accident information, service records, and any other documentation. Thanks

steering wheel wiring harness failure. The contact was informed that the steering sensors and steering wheel wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.

overall vehicle safety, making the vehicle hazardous to operate. Despite multiple repair attempts, including replacing the front brakes, the issue persists, indicating an unresolved defect in the rear braking system or a systemic problem with the braking components whereby an underlying issue. Audi's technical support was involved in diagnosing the issue but failed to resolve the problem. Given that similar brake-related defects have led to numerous NHTSA recalls in other Audi models, I am concerned that this could be part of a larger pattern. This defect poses a serious safety risk to the driver, passengers, and other road users. I have documented my case with video evidence, repair orders confirming the ongoing complaints, email correspondence with the dealership, and an independent inspection report validating that the braking system is not functioning properly. Despite all this, Audi has been unable to remedy the defect. I urge NHTSA to investigate whether other 2024 Audi Q3 owners are experiencing similar braking issues, determine if this defect is related to previously issued Audi brake recalls, and assess whether this issue warrants a recall to prevent potential accidents. Given that this braking defect has not been resolved despite repeated repair attempts, further investigation is necessary before this defect leads to a serious accident. This issue has remained unresolved, and I request that NHTSA take immediate action to ensure consumer safety.

stated in their letter that my Q3 had to meet qualifying factors for the warranty repair which were passenger airbag light that stays on and steering wheel controls not working. Audi covered the warranty repair and returned my Q3 with the steering wheel controls broken and Audi damaged my cruise control. I could hear plastic pieces in my vehicle steering wheel. I requested that they reinspect the supposed repair and waited for another 4 hours at the dealership. Audi did nothing about the damage and insisted it is damage from something else. Audi stated 2 times...we cleared the passenger airbag light which seemed to be their only concern. Audi left me with my vehicle seriously damaged, they did not repair the steering wheel or the hand controls and damaged my ability to drive my Audi with the cruise control. I filed a complaint with Audi in MI and they did not initiate a repair for the damage they caused my Audi Q3. When I attempted to provide the diagnostic from Lux Auto Hause that proved my cruise control did not have an error code prior to being at Audi- they ignored me. Lux Auto Hause is 1 of 2 Authorized European repairers in my area. I have had successful repairs completed there and can't understand why Audi would be negligent when I can prove the damage didn't exist prior to the clock spring breaking. My Audi Q3 steering, hand controls and after being at the dealer-my cruise control. Is this something the NHTSA can investigate?

Three days later, my local audi dealer checked out the car with their computer and only found the record of the incident but no cause and everything looked good otherwise. It hasn't happened again, but it hasn't been that cold on the cape.

drive I stop and start again and the steering wheel was stiff again. The second time was june 3, 2017. On june 8, 2017 I took the car to audi arlington for repairs. On june 9, I received the diagnosis from my service consultant. He explained the computer found a problem with the power steering module, its faulty and it has to be replaced, the service consultant explained that they have to reach out to audi to claim warranty. One week later (june 16, 2017) the service consultant explained that audi is not going to fix the problem because they want the steering stiffness to occur again before they are willing to replace the faulty module. The service consultant said that they have to release the car back to me and explained that when it happens again to take it back to them. My audi q3 2016 is under warranty with 5800 miles on it and its already breaking. The steering is fundamental for operating a motor vehicle. For all I know I could be driving on the highway and the steering stops working. I would put my family and the life of other drivers in danger. All this because audi wants to save money. Its unethical and irresponsible. It makes me wonder if there's anything else wrong with my car and they are not saying anything, I'm seriously doubting their integrity at this point.
