With less than 32,000 miles and approximately 1.5years of ownership, this brand new 2021 Audi Etron began having major electrical malfunctions. This was first noted as sudden inability to properly accelerate on the highway and an "electrical system malfunction" warning light on the dashboard. It was delivered to the Audi dealership service department where it was diagnosed as needing a brand new rear motor. Within 45 days of this repair being completed I again got the same "electrical system malfunction" warning light. It was taken to another dealership service department. They claimed it was a coolant issue and that the car was fixed. However, the very next day the same "electrical system malfunction" warning light was again alarming. The car was taken to yet another dealership service department where it was diagnosed as needing yet ANOTHER motor. This are major electrical problem in an electric vehicle and could've cause my car to completely die while driving. The vehicle now has a safety recall regarding the home charging cord component. As of now, there is no repair and Audi does not anticipate one available until mid 2024. As such, customers are being told it is only safe to charge your car to 50% volume.

Upon the vehicle resting at a stop, for longer than 30 seconds, the vehicle will no longer accelerate. -??SAFE-?? warning is shown by the instrument cluster. Had to turn power off to vehicle and back on for vehicle to accelerate. This has happened twice almost resulting in being rear ended and being stuck in traffic.
