However, Audi recalled my EV (2022 Audi E-tron) months ago, stating there exists a fire hazard associated with these vehicles. Audi has not provided any effective remedy. The sole advice offered was to refrain from charging the battery beyond 80%. However, Audi has not substantiated the claim that this measure is protective, and it also restricts the performance and intended range of the affected vehicles. I contacted Audi of America and my local Audi dealer, but both entities have been unhelpful and unable to offer any reassurance or scientific data. Battery monitoring software is allegedly scheduled to be released this quarter (originally promised in the final quarter of 2024). This proposed solution appears insufficient. Thermal runaway could potentially lead to a fire without sufficient warning to protect consumers, even with software in place.   Clearly, Audi should be compelled to replace the batteries before a consumer sustains an injury or fatalities occur due to thermal runaway and fire. Several incidents of fires involving these vehicles have been reported in the United States and other jurisdictions. Audi has since discontinued using these specific batteries and has access to safer and more efficient alternatives. I urge the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to compel Audi to provide a genuine remedy to this issue as soon as possible to safeguard consumers.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2022","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"E-TRON","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
