HI Gareth, no mate - car now into its 8th week at Audi Belfast. I've started the process this week of 'rejecting' the car with Audi Belfast and VWFS / Audi Financial services for a full refund. Really disappointed as I really liked the car too but it has left a bad taste now and I know I won't ever be happy with it. The dealers hands are tied with the lack of solution and they have been very helpful and in full communication but they cant get a software fix or patch from the factory. Seems to be affecting quite a few cars on this new A5 platform. There are several others there too but he wouldn't tell me how many. Interestingly, I was looking at an X3 in a completely separate BMW dealership down the road from them and the salesman said that 'he has heard that Audi are having lots of issues with their new models and the quality just isn't there...' I just said sure you all have problems at some stage and he said not like this - I hadn't even mentioned Audi or that I have one.

HI all, just joined today out of frustration of my dealer. New model A5 Quattro Avant 2025 bought in April and car has developed a software fault that leaves it dangerous and undriveable. Car has been with Audi Belfast for 4 weeks waiting on a 'software update' but I keep getting told its coming next week... Dash lights up and says 'steering failure' whilst the steering wheel vibrates quite hard. Anyone else has this issue in the new models ? video here https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dermot-cunnie-1063b115_cars-used-to-have-to-go-back-to-the-dealer-activity-7343265598153383936-bbEe?utm_source=social_share_send&utm_medium=member_desktop_web&rcm=ACoAAAMVdlYBcHZwBJdsFO8DtowtS-dswxNylzk
