2024 Audi Q5 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 763 evidence records for the 2024 Audi Q5, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 34 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

Other / uncategorized: 1 classifications (2.9%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (2,708 records, model years 2009–2026) are most frequently classified under: engine, air bags (restraint system) and electrical system.
- Safety recalls (126 records, model years 2009–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), fuel system and electrical system.
- Transport Canada recalls (125 records, model years 2009–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), engine and high-voltage battery & electric drive.
- Manufacturer communications (22,091 records, model years 2009–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
