My vehicle has shifted to neutral once and park twice previously. I reported this issue to Audi of Indianapolis in May 2022, but no technical remedy was provided.

Purchased a used 2022 Audi E-Tron GT with an open NHTSA safety recall for high-voltage battery fire risk (Recall 24V726 / Audi 931A). The recall remedy had not been performed at time of purchase. The selling dealer completed a pre-delivery inspection two weeks prior to sale with full knowledge of the open recall. Within 7 weeks of purchase, the vehicle entered limited performance mode (turtle mode) while driving and had to be towed. A high-voltage coolant pump was diagnosed faulty and replaced. Days later, the vehicle powered down completely while driving. Fault codes indicated an implausible signal from the HV battery controller. The battery management controller (J840) was replaced. After replacement, additional faults were found. The HV battery switch box (SX6) was also diagnosed faulty and replaced. The vehicle was out of service approximately 18 days for this event alone. Within 11 months of purchase, the vehicle developed water intrusion in the trunk area traced to a faulty spoiler motor sealing surface. This caused corrosion to the center tail lamp connector, electrical shorts to all three tail lamps, and required repair of six wiring harness connections. A body electrical wiring repair was also documented in service history prior to purchase, suggesting a pre-existing sealing defect. Total: 9 dealer visits and 50+ days out of service in under 14 months. All repairs performed under manufacturer warranty. The open safety recall was not completed until 8 months after purchase.

The heater has failed. Dealer has diagnosed as high voltage heating unit failure. The issue is that this problem is occurring in many etron GTs and Porsche Taycans and there is no info from Audi as to when they will have replacement parts. No heat in the middle of winter, and the windows fog up, forcing you to drive with a window cracked open.
