I brought the car to the authorized dealer on August 13, 2025, where my service advisor confirmed there was no available repair. I called again on October 14, 2025, and was told there is still no remedy. Audi\u2019s instructions prohibit charging the vehicle until the recall is resolved, which completely disables the hybrid system. This has made the car partially unusable and unsafe to operate as intended. It has been over three months since the recall notice, and no timeline for a fix has been provided by either Audi Corporate or the dealer.

I believe other car manufacturers offer similar systems on some of their SUVs. The hatchback often opens and closes without me intending it to. When the hatch is open it has often come down on me, my family and my grandkids without warning and without braking. It has hit our heads hard in coming down and it really did a number on my [XXX] grandson, causing some tears and leaving a good size bump and bruise afterwards. When I come around the back of the car to plug in the electric charger when I come home it often opens unintendedly and the opening hatch has often pinned me hard against the closed garage door. In checking I could not find anything in the manual about turning this feature off or controlling how it works. I spoke to 3 car dealerships and they all said it cant be turned off.  Looking on line, there are other stories like mine of people getting hurt and also not finding any way to control the 'foot assist' feature. This may be a useful feature for some people but  is an obvious safety hazard for me and others and it is surprising that there is no apparent  way to disable or modify the feature. It should not be hard to do in my opinion and is long overdue.
