Should You Buy the 2023 Audi e-tron GT?
Reliability is good for this final year of the first generation, but it falls below average among 2023 sedans. Within the E-Tron-GT lineup it sits in the middle of four scored years. The 2022 and 2024 rate about the same.
Owner complaints center on one issue. Charging stops at 70 percent while owners wait for a battery repair that dealers have not completed. Drivers report a battery power reduced message, a reduced performance warning light, and much shorter range. Most reports point to a parts shortage rather than new breakdowns. Waits pass 30 days and sometimes run over four months, and promised delivery dates keep slipping. One owner links the charge limit to fire concern. Federal recall records list 15 recalls, covering the electrical system, service brakes, air bags, and back over prevention.
Before buying, ask for the full recall history and written proof that every repair was finished, especially the battery work. The 2022 has more recalls on file. The 2024 has far fewer complaints, but it has had less time to collect them, so that gap is not a reason to favor it.
Compared to the 2024 Audi e-tron GT, which scored 2 points higher. See also the 2022 Audi e-tron GT for an earlier comparison.

Used Buying Checklist
Key things to inspect or verify before purchasing a 2023 Audi e-tron GT.
Run the VIN through the federal recall lookup and confirm no battery recall is still open.
Ask the seller for dealer paperwork showing the battery recall repair was actually completed.
Check the dash for a battery power reduced message or a reduced performance warning light.
Set the charge limit to its highest setting and confirm the car charges past 70 percent.
Compare the range estimate after charging to what you expect, and watch for a sharp shortfall.
If a recall is still open, call a dealer and ask whether the repair part is in stock before you buy.
2023 Audi e-tron GT Common Problems by Component
10 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
5 complaintsCharging stops at 70 percent while owners wait for a battery recall repair that dealers have not completed. Complaints describe a battery power reduced message, a reduced performance warning light, and much shorter range. Most reports are about a parts shortage rather than new breakdowns. Dealers say the repair part is not available yet, and promised delivery dates keep slipping. Waits run past 30 days and sometimes over four months. One complaint links the charge limit to fire concern. Another says the manufacturer called the delay a dealer problem.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
1 complaintMy 2023 Audi e-Tron GT has been subject to a recall since September 30, 2024 for possible fire risks associated with its electric batteries, yet Audi still has not announced a solution in the past seven months. Instead, Audi recommends charging the battery to not more than 80% capacity, which significantly limits the vehicle's range. Why has AUdi not been pushed to either fix the problem or compensate owners of affected vehicle, and what is the NHTSA doing about it?
STEERING
1 complaintMultiple alerts reported by the car's system for electrical malfunction and steering wheel dysfunction. These alerts keep coming at least 3 times a week. Car has been to the dealership, Audi of Raleigh who has inspected the car 3 times and unable to find the problem. It would seem that the elctric malfunction and steering malfunction would be safety risks to keep driving the car

SUSPENSION (1 complaints)
SUSPENSION
1 complaintI had owned my car as the first owner. Within the first year of ownership, I experienced my first suspension failure. It happened when I drove my car during an off day to run some errands, driving locally at daytime with normal speeds. Mind you, here in New York, there’s a lot of street cameras. There aren’t many opportunities to go fast. During normal driving one day, I noticed a loud thump noise, but the car did not go over any potholes or hit anything of the sort which led me to be confused. So I pulled over to a nearby parking lot to see what was going on. I later then saw some error messages about the air suspension. I got out of the car to see that my car was abnormally low to the ground. I also tried to raise the air suspension through the settings, but it wouldn’t work at the moment. I then called Audi to tow the car to the service center located at Audi Queens. They investigated on the matter, said that the front struts were blown out and had to be replaced. They refused to believe that this was anything related to a malfunction and insisted that I hit something. Unfortunately I didn’t have a dash cam, otherwise I would’ve solidified my case. Long story short, I later found out that the 2022 models have had a known issue with the front struts. I’m so lucky that when the time this happened, that nobody or myself got hurt. But this has got to be one of the most frightening thing, to think a car would fail on you suddenly like this!
SERVICE BRAKES (1 complaints)
SERVICE BRAKES
1 complaintI have had multiple instances of brake failure while driving this car and it is to a point where I've been directed by my attorney to not drive the vehicle anymore. First instance of possible serious injury or death occurred on 1/15/2024: I brought the vehicle in to Audi of Iowa City because the brakes did not feel reliable. Several days before I brought the vehicle in, I was going 35 MPH and had the pedal all the way to the floor before it would stop. The ABS kicked on to stop the vehicle. This happened on dry pavement. There was no snow, ice, gravel, or other issues with the surface which would cause the car to not stop. Second instance of possible serious injury or death occurred on 2/14/2024: I had the vehicle towed to Audi of Iowa City after experiencing the exact same brake failure issue that day after driving the vehicle less than 100 miles after it was returned to me. Third instance of possible serious injury or death occurred on 5/10/2024: I brought the vehicle in to Audi of Iowa City again after the vehicle failed to stop in a safe manner earlier that day. I was going 30 MPH and the brake pedal went to the floor. I got no response out of the brake pedal. Pre-collision braking stopped the car but there was no resistance in the pedal before that. I have requested Audi replace or repurchase the vehicle three times, each time Audi has declined the buyback and claim the vehicle is safe. There is currently an open, unresolved recall on the brakes for this vehicle AND there is a current national stop sale on all e-tron GT and Porsche Taycan models.
