2020 Audi A4 Allroad

No clear pattern

0% of complaints about the 2020 Audi A4 Allroad arrived in its first year of service.

The figures below are reported without a verdict. The most-reported system is electrical system (20 complaints), typically at 5.5 yr.

Complaints: 50

In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 5.6 yr in service

Vehicle radio/navigation interface (MMI) will spontaneously shutoff in all modes. Rear view camera and rear cross traffic visual is unavailable. Requires driver input to fix.

Electrical system mileage not reported 5.5 yr in service

The auto uses the Audi MMI system which controls basic functions such as radio, navigation, etc. The MMI in our car has randomly been crashing, which most importantly shuts down navigation at VERY inopportune times! I have read about this in a number of forums, and have tried various ways of resetting the system, but the problem persists. The forums suggest this is a common issue with this generation MMI.

Electrical system mileage not reported 5.5 yr in service

2020 A4 Allroad MMI staring to crash/restart randomly during drive every 5-10min and sometimes back to back crashes for 3-4 times. During this time, no call can be made, no navigation, and no backup camera / backup warning/ backup cross traffic alarm. The issue emerged sometime in February or March 2025.

Back over prevention mileage not reported 5.3 yr in service

The MMI system will randomly crash and reboot every few minutes preventing access to features like backup camera, rear and side collision warning, navigation, control of driver assistance features, etc. Issue started around Jan/Feb 2025 and is widely reported by Audi owners across the web.

How to read this

This is what owners reported, not a reliability rating. People file with NHTSA about alarming failures, not routine ones, and complaint volume tracks how many cars were sold.
Failure ages come from the incident date on each complaint, populated on about 83% of records. Mileage is shown where reported — NHTSA’s 2021 system change cut mileage capture to roughly 15%, so it thins out sharply after MY2020.
Every rank compares this vehicle only against others of the same model year. A 2025 car has not had time to accumulate five-year failures, so comparing early-failure share across years is meaningless.
Fourteen make-months distorted by media storms and mass recalls — Toyota in February 2010 ran 11× normal volume across 33 models — are excluded.
Recalls are manufacturer actions and authoritative; complaints are not. A recall listed here may already have been performed on any individual car. Check a specific VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
