Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2025 Audi Q5 PHEV shows a continuation of the downward trend in federal complaints, with 13 complaints and zero recalls reported for the preceding 2024 model year, compared with 69 complaints and eight recalls in 2021. In 2025, the primary complaint categories are Electrical System,Forward Collision Avoidance (3 complaints) and three other areas each with two complaints, and the data records one crash‑related complaint and zero fire‑related complaints. This shift marks a reversal from the steady reduction in overall complaint volume and recall activity observed from 2021 through 2024. The root cause of these 2025 issues is not specified in the available data. Given the low absolute numbers but the emergence of specific electrical and crash concerns, a buyer should weigh these factors carefully before purchasing the 2025 model.
