2025 Audi Q4 Sportback E-Tron Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: October 27, 2026 · Filed: October 28, 2026

Vehicle: 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron Premium Plus quattro Safety concern: Side airbags failed to deploy during a significant driver's-side collision. On XXX, I was driving my 2025 Audi Q4 e-tron at approximately 45 mph in [XXX] when another vehicle, a Hyundai, struck the driver's side of my Audi near the front driver's door and front wheel area. Immediately before the collision, I noticed the other vehicle in my left peripheral vision and heard tires screeching. I do not know the Hyundai's actual speed. The impact caused extensive damage to the driver's side of my Audi, including the front and rear driver's-side doors, door seals, and surrounding structure. The front driver's door could not be fully closed afterward. My head struck the driver's-side window during the collision, and my glasses were dislodged. I was evaluated in an emergency department and diagnosed with a concussion. Despite the significant driver's-side impact, neither the driver's side curtain airbag nor the driver's seat-mounted side airbag deployed, to my knowledge. The airbags in the striking Hyundai reportedly deployed. My Audi continued traveling mostly straight after the collision until I brought it to a stop. I observed that the Hyundai had rotated after the collision. I am concerned that the Audi's side-impact restraint system may not have functioned as intended. I am requesting that NHTSA review this incident as a possible airbag nondeployment safety issue. Following the collision, the myAudi app displayed the front windows as open, although my husband confirmed that the windows were intact and fully raised. The app also indicated that doors were open; the driver's front door was physically damaged and could not latch completely. I am seeking preservation and independent retrieval of the crash data and airbag control module information before the vehicle is repaired, dismantled, or salvaged.
