1 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 09/04/2025

An alert popped up on the dashboard. Stating driver system malfunction. This happened on the freeway and then the car shut down immediately. I've gotten this notification over 8 times and it has yet to be fixed. I'm extremely anxious and terrified when driving this vehicle, because my 3 children are in this vehicle while im driving. All services has been all done at Audi oakland, they have all the records/documents. This car has been serviced over 120 days in total.

2 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 05/18/2025

The instrument cluster failed as was reported in a previous recall. This failure was caused by a hardware problem which was fixed via a software update. Unfortunately, the hardware (instrument cluster) has already been compromised and warning lights are all lit up and some warnings aren't working and the instrument panel still goes blank when driving.

3 Warnings problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2025

In correspondence with recall number 25v201, the virtual cockpit display would go blank while driving, hiding all driver assistance indicators/instruments. Unable to verify engine speed unless looking at the heads up display, but adaptive cruise control/forward collision warnings won’t display. Upon parking and restarting vehicle, the display would work, but will intermittently go blank after some time while resuming driving. Called local dealership and they are aware of issue but since a repair is unavailable, out of pocket costs would be incurred. There have not been any inspections but I’ve scanned the vehicle for error code b200049, documented in previous Audi tsbs related to the virtual cockpit display issue. There were no warnings or indications, prior to the event which occurred less than a week after recall number 25v201 had started.
