2024 Audi S5 — reported problems

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 (282 records, model years 2008–2026) are most frequently classified under: driver-assistance systems, powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and electrical system.
• Transport Canada recalls (43 records, model years 2010–2025) are most frequently classified under: seat belts, air bags (restraint system) and suspension.
• Manufacturer communications (16,176 records, model years 2008–2026) 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
