Audi e-Tron: It's Time to Start Rejecting Your Vehicles
Discussion
I’m an Audi e-Tron owner, and I’ve had enough. After discovering a serious manufacturing defect with the high-voltage battery, I’ve been fighting a long battle with Audi, the retailer, and Volkswagen Financial Services. Despite acknowledging the fault, they’ve refused to give me a full refund, replace or repair the vehicle.
The worst part? Audi has imposed an 80% charging limit and restricted which chargers we can use—all without fixing the underlying issue. This has turned a long-range vehicle into a short-range city car, and they have no plans to implement a proper fix anytime soon.
If you’re also facing these issues, it’s time to stand up and reject your vehicles. Let’s hold them accountable and demand they take our concerns seriously.
Anyone else in the same boat? Let’s talk.

I received a full refund plus compensation and legal fees on a TVR Cerbera many years ago.
It took threatened litigation and an Expert witness report from an Engineer to get to that point which took a little over 13months from the date i rejected the car.
It's a long and stressful legal process.
Good luck.

Very interesting, sounds like JLR levels of customer satisfaction. Seriously though, sorry to hear OP - I would not be happy at all!
To be fair Jaguar are fixing battery cells on affected cars, but it seems less clear cut if it’s a related electrical issue. From what I’ve read previously about Audi E trons and the OPs experience I wouldn’t want to own one.
I hope the OP can get an action together.
Is it not covered by a battery warranty?
hmm I'm sure there are two recalls for E-tron over 240v and HV battery to fix the charger and replace damaged cells.
does you car sit under these recalls? have they been fixed at any point?
edit: All over reddit 4/5 months ago - have you tried some members on there?

Audi has issued a recall for the e-tron 93U9 high-voltage battery. As part of their response, they have limited the battery's charging capacity to 80% of its already reduced 80% range, and they have also made fast and rapid chargers incompatible. Beyond these measures, Audi has not offered a complete solution. I strongly believe that their e-tron Q series could face similar battery issues

You need to get on the e-tron owners forum and look through therehttps://www.e-tronforum.com/threads/audi-q4-e-tron...

The etron uses the lg battery like jag did and indeed Hyundai in some models.
However I have a mate whose q4 has just been rejected at 18 months old for charging problems. In their case it was a company car and the lease company dealt with it. Local dealer was good, but couldn’t fix it, Audi uk less good

Is the problem you have in relation to this issue which is a recall in the US? If so the firmware fix is supposedly due out this Summer/Autumn. Good luck.

I have a 2021 E-tron 50. No issues at the moment and can't say I've read much about any issues either.
It was in Audi last week for a service and there was no mention of any recalls, limits on charging or not to fast charge.
Hopefully you get it sorted ASAP.

That's specifically with 55 Quattro variant It was in Audi last week for a service and there was no mention of any recalls, limits on charging or not to fast charge.

Mine doesn’t show on the gov website either. It’s because the DVSA is satisfied that all 502 affected vehicles have been placed on an 80% charge restriction and limited to medium charger support. I raised this issue with the DVSA, but they’re not willing to change the status. I only get the recall information on my Audi app, which is frustrating because it’s not officially listed elsewhere
