There are 5 owner-reported driver assist & adas complaints for the 2025 Audi Q6 e-tron in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Car continuously has errors popping up on the screen saying that the driver assist functions are unavailable while I'm in the middle of driving. Other times, when I get in and turn on the car, none of the clusters or screens show any information, so I am essentially driving blind with no information as to speed, or anything.
Car software has multiple error notifications at once (Forward collision error, active lane assist error, traffic sign recognition error, emergency assist error, active cruise assist error, lane departure warning error, active front assist/distance, proactive occupant protection, high beam assistant) Error happens about once a week consistently, and disappears/reappears with no change in the car.
System has become confused while cruise control engaged. On highway, it has veered to right shoulder after misreading construction. Has occurred multiple times, I no longer engage the feature. Second issue is failure of front camera causing many safety functions to be disabled. Third issue was failure of GPS receiver while navigating. Car attempted to direct me off the road into a lake! Constant issues engaging carplay reliably. Issues became more frequent after applying latest KD2 software patches which took two weeks. During that upgrade backup camera was made inoperative. Car is very unreliable with only 7500 miles.
This vehicle was purchased from Audi Fort Lauderdale on July 31, 2025 and on the drive home, 9 safety systems were reported as not working. This has continued for 7 weeks and the dealer has attempted repair 5 times including software updates, front camera replacement, camera alignments and finally the major ECU replacement to no avail. There are many people on the Audi Etron forum complaining of the same or similar issues. My car has not functioned safely for a single day since purchase and Audi is dragging their feet on a buyback. The executive case manager said that they would ordinarily replace the vehicle but that ALL Q6 models are having safety issues!!

The entire ADAS system malfunctioned while driving and has been in the shop for the past 30 days. Despite replacing multiple modules, the dealership has not identified a viable solution. There were no prior warnings before the system failure.
