On XXX, I was driving my Audi Q6 e-tron southbound on [XXX] in the HOV lane at highway speed with my family inside. Without warning, the vehicle suffered a complete power failure, dropping instantly to zero acceleration.Because I had no propulsion, I was forced to coast the unpowered vehicle across three lanes of active traffic to reach the right shoulder. Trailing traffic approaching quickly from behind narrowly avoided rear-ending us, and the vehicle side-slipped multiple times during the coast. It is a miracle my family survived the maneuver.Once I managed to get the car stopped on the shoulder, the vehicle exhibited erratic and dangerous electronic behavior. The car remained running and flatly refused to shut off despite my attempts. Furthermore, for some completely unknown reason, the steering wheel would not stop moving and shaking back and forth (right and left) entirely on its own while the vehicle was stationary.The California Highway Patrol (CHP) arrived to secure the scene. I used the vehicle's emergency contact button to contact Audi. While waiting, I called Calabasas Audi, where the car was being towed, and spoke to an employee named Ark. Ark stated he had never heard of this happening (the car not shutting off and the steering wheel shaking). He instructed me to push the door lock/unlock button to see if it would reset the system, but this did nothing. The vehicle was completely disabled and unsafe to operate. This severe defect put my family's lives at risk, and I have zero trust in this vehicle. I request an immediate safety investigation.

My Audi Q6  Etron has 1 year and 10,390 miles.  I was informed by the dealership that tires are already showing excessive thread wear causing a safety hazard due to lack of traction. Replacement is needed.  This was never disclosed by Manufacturer or dealership until last Friday during the 10,000 mile service.  Short life span was hidden to me until my first service and is affecting all Audi Q6 Etron owners.

On May 6, 2026, while operating the vehicle on a neighborhood street, the vehicle experienced a sudden, violent, and dangerous failure.  After accelerating away from a stop sign, the vehicle was traveling at approximately 20-25 mph when, simultaneous with a warning message, it came to an immediate and abrupt stop.  A number of error messages appeared in rapid succession on the vehicleâs MMI.  Those messages referenced, among other things, drive battery errors, a major electrical system failure, and drivetrain issues. After the abrupt stop, the driver, attempted to restart the vehicle. Following one failed attempt, the vehicle restarted; however, after traveling approximately 30 feet, the vehicle again came to an abrupt, violent, and sudden stop.  After several additional failed attempts to restart the vehicle, the driver allowed the vehicle to sit idle for approximately five minutes.  The driver was then able to restart the vehicle and drive it, very cautiously and slowly, approximately two miles to a safe location.  Once in a safe location, driver contacted the dealer who confirmed that the vehicle was unsafe to operate.  The vehicle was towed to the dealership. On May 7, 2026, the dealer informed us that they had found âseveral different faults stored in the vehicle but those faults all basically contradict each other.â  The dealer further informed us that they would need to contact Audi in Germany for guidance on how to proceed with diagnosis and repair. On May 22, 2026, the dealer informed us that "(w)e do need to drop the battery.  There is a module in one of the battery cells that we are going to replace and also the module that controls the battery as well".

While driving in the far left fast lane at approximately 70mph the vehicle suddenly began to show multiple malfunctions to include the following but not the complete list. Malfunctions noted High Voltage Malfunction, Chassis Malfunction, Suspension Malfunction, Driver Assist Malfunction. The vehicle then proceeded to slow down and I lost acceleration. Another alert showed regarding auto-braking.  So with my wife and child in the car I had to cross four lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder. At the time I was not even sure if the signal lights were working as the vehicle began to shut down. This posed significant safety to myself, my wife and child and to all the other vehicles on the freeway as traffic was heavy which included several semi trucks. To have the vehicle slow on it own with no ability to accelerate to match speeds of vehicles coming behind and along side and no indication that any of my vehicle signal lights were still operable I repeat posed a significant safety risk to everyone in proximity.  There was no warning or early indications that a failure was going to occur as it was immediate.  This vehicle has had many alerts in the past that have cleared within minutes such as assistive driving and central locking malfunctions.  When on the shoulder at the full stop the steering wheel was vibrating and continued to vibrate through to the next morning.  When on the shoulder the Emergency Call button failed. The vehicle was towed 70 miles to a Audi dealership. The following morning the service representative observed the car in the same state where they were not able to start the vehicle on its own.  The had to jump start to get the vehicle to the garage in order to do inspection. I was contacted on Monday and was told that the diagnostic showed no errors or malfunctions which in and of itself is alarming that no record of this was captured by the vehicle.  Engineers in Germany were contacted and Service was advised to perform an update to the vehicle.
