The first malfunction occurred in January 2025 when a dashboard warning appeared stating the vehicle was \u201cunable to read traffic or road signs.\u201d The dealer confirmed a front-camera sensor failure and replaced the camera under Repair Order #193312 (1/17/25 \u2013 1/29/25) at approximately 397 miles.  In February 2025, the vehicle displayed repeated \u201cdrive system malfunction\u201d warnings and would not start reliably. The dealer determined the issue was linked to the 12-volt battery and replaced it under RO #194457 (2/24/25 \u2013 3/14/25, 866 miles). Soon after, persistent drive-system and electrical faults continued (RO #195096 and #195241 from 3/17 \u2013 3/27 at 866\u20131,081 miles) but no repair was completed.  On 4/10/25, an \u201cAWD malfunction\u201d occurred, and the vehicle was towed. Under RO #195846 (4/10/25 \u2013 4/25/25, 1,594 miles), the front electric motor/drive unit was replaced. The vehicle remained out of service for extended periods. I was provided an EV loaner during the initial repair in January and gasoline loaner vehicles thereafter.  In June 2025 (RO #198283 at 3,161 miles), a factory recall for the onboard charger was performed. The warning \u201cPedestrians cannot hear motor sound\u201d appeared both before and after the motor replacement, suggesting a persistent fault in the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS).  These repeated electrical, sensor, and propulsion failures \u2014 all within 3,000 miles of use \u2014 raise concerns about the reliability and safety of the ADAS camera, drive unit, and pedestrian-alert system. Power loss and a nonfunctional pedestrian-warning feature could increase risk to the driver and others. The manufacturer has been notified, and both dealer and manufacturer-updated repair records \u2014 showing mileage inconsistencies between versions \u2014 are available for review upon request.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2024","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q4 SPORTBACK E-TRON","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
