2020 Audi Q3 Problems and Top Complaints – Is Your Car A Lemon?
Stop-start, electrical, steering, and engine issues are among the top complaints received from vehicle owners
Luxury SUVs have come a long way, with many people desiring to drive the 2020 Audi Q3. The automaker boasts about the new lineup by saying, “expectations were meant to be exceeded.” However, customers tend to lower their expectations after driving this model because it features an electrical system, engine, fuel system, steering components, and stop-start issues that simply disappoint.
Most Common Problems with the 2020 Audi Q3
More than half the complaints about the 2020 Audi Q3 relate to some sort of start-stop or stalling issue. Some are listed as electrical problems, some as engine problems, some as steering, others as the powertrain, and a large percentage as fuel issues. Many complaints blame multiple components.
Typical stop-start complaints made by owners state that they are told they need new software, but it isn’t available. Several talk about cars going into so-called “limp mode” where they can’t accelerate.
For example, here is a complaint listed under steering, electrical system, and engine. It was made on November 18, 2020, for a car bought in March. All the events occurred while driving straight or turning, or with a foot on the brake.
“The start-stop feature needs to be deactivated otherwise the wheel locks up once stopped and (the) vehicle does not move forward once (my) foot releases off (the) brake. The vehicle shuttered and RPM dial lit up and engine was revving once, (the) start-stop was deactivated. Car had to be pulled over and shut off. Started again to move. Clock changed time on its own. Interior reading lights came on spontaneously numerous times. Car went to service at (the) dealer and (I) was told (about the) software update for start-stop. Going back in now for engine reaction to start-stop deactivation, clock, lights. Still no software update available.”
Others say that the car jerks as if it is losing power.
Ultimately, many, including the one quoted above, highlight safety issues.
This is a typical complaint that highlights safety issues:
“My dealership has dismissed my safety concerns and has offered no resolution to the problem other than (to) disengage the start/stop every time I get in the vehicle. There was no guarantee of when this would be fixed and (I) was told it could be months to get the parts. There was also no guarantee that this wouldn’t happen with the start/stop already disengaged. I am driving a vehicle that could potentially shut down without warning, leaving my life and the lives of others at risk.”
Problems with the Electrical System
We all know that the electrical system of any car is vital. But it seems that even though the Q3 is considered a high-end SUV, it doesn’t come with sophisticated technology.
Problems with the Engine
We also know that the engine needs to be a reliable machine. With a premium model, such as the 2020 Audi Q3, customers simply expect that this is a given.
If customers wanted to drive a vehicle with a misfiring engine, they could surely save a lot of money and go with a budget-friendly option instead. At no point does this prove that Audi is “exceeding” expectations. However, the tagline doesn’t say that the automaker is. Instead, it simply says that they should be. Very interesting.
Problems with the Steering
In closing, it’s vital to take a closer look at the steering system, which seems to be causing some headaches.
