Bulletins are notices put out by manufacturers in conjunction with the NHTSA to notify the public of manufacturing issues or changes.

As in past instance related to the diesel engine fuel consumption case, audi is hiding the fact that their brake rotors for the q3 2020 model have a manufacturing defect. The rotors are produced warped from the factory and it may cause various breaking issues as the mileage increases, starting with noises, steering wheel and car vibrations to possible brake failure. Audi does not want to acknowledge the issue so they do not have to repair these cars permanently or declare them undrivable and, as their mileage increases to provide warranty for defective parts beyond their original warranty term. They also do not want to make this an issue which requires a mandatory recall for tens of thousands of vehicles preferring to blame it on various other factors related to the vehicle being driven to a lesser extent and rust accumulating on the rotors. ​ in fact they recognized this as a known issue and replaced the 4 rotors after 4000 miles, and when the problem reappeared after another 2500 miles the denials and blaming on the way the car is being used (less than average mileage) started. Their refused to fix the problem properly in the hope that after the warranty expires they will be able to charge for repairs. In fact, being concerned by the safety issues related to defective parts, i offered to pay for the replacement of those parts and i got from them a quote for the costs. They refused to fix the problem because that would mean an acknowledgement of the existence of the problem (needing to replace 4 rotors after 4000 miles and 2 rear rotors after another 2500 miles). They also are blaming the customer for heaving braking which causes the issue when in fact the car is driven lightly and only when allowed over the 60 miles/hour limit. Issue should be addressed with a permanent fix.

I purchased my audi 2020 q3 in november 2019. Since the purchase, on three separate occasions, the car has failed to accelerate under very specific speed conditions. In each case, the vehicle had slowed either due to a sharp curve while entering a freeway or for a slower vehicle in front of my vehicle while entering the freeway. When time came to accelerate to match the speed of the freeway traffic, adding power was futile. Drifting on to a freeway at 20 miles per hour and decelerating; while freeway traffic is moving at 70 to 80 mph (california) is unnerving at best and certainly, potential deadly. Audi calls the the problem "limp mode". Audi of america, inc. Issued emissions service action 96h5 - engine control module (ecm) software which cleverly dances around the real threat which is the potential for a serious or fatal accident. In march 2021, when 96h5 came available it was installed on my vehicle. The next week i took a road trip of several hundred miles. Unfortunately, the third " engine limp mode" occurrence happened nearly resulting in a major accident while attempting to enter the freeway. Nhtsa needs to recognize the seriousness of this specific problem. The current software fix is not a fix. People will eventually die.

On four occasions, the engine stopped working and the steering wheel was not able to be turned. This prevented the driver from moving the vehicle forward and steering off to the side of the road. This is an extremely dangerous situation. If the car is turned off and restarted, the problem resolves with this reset. The intervals between these episodes have been several months. There are no specifically common variables, other than a lower speed - start/stop as in waiting to cross a line of traffic or proceeding through a stop sign. I have taken the q3 to the dealer 3 times now and have been told that a software update is the fix. Recently the car has been making a vibrating noise when coasting, and it lost power in an intersection on the way to the dealer for service. The car completely shut down and even activated the parking brake. We always disable the car's auto start-stop feature, as we suspected that to be involved, but that is not the issue. We feel this car is unsafe and the audi dealer seems unable to diagnose and resolve the problem. Our first audi purchase, we had one of the first 2020 q3 to arrive in the us and four shut-off incidents since we purchased the car in oct 2019. The car was driven less than anticipated due to covid, remote school/work and no travel. Perhaps more frequent driving would have accelerated the claim process for us. Ironically, we chose the car for its safety features primarily for our teen/young adult drivers. The car has shut down for three drivers, twice for our teen and once for each of the parents, so we are confident that the problem exists as described and persists despite attempts to fix it. Each time we felt it was resolved due to a long interval between incidents, but today was more frightening than others due to the intersection where it occurred. This could cause a critical accident.
