What 2023 Audi Q5 E owners say
Electrical system
Shortly after taking delivery of our new car, the camera system for the rear backup camera and all other surround view cameras malfunctioned.

The system functioned normally the next time we started the car, but then failed again later the next day. The failure in the camera system makes backing out of the garage and a public parking space less safe.
