As a follow-up to my initial post: we were able to rule out the shutter system as being the cause of the problem. It turned out I had a bad plug and after that was replaced I have driven close to 2000 miles without any issues.

But I will be keeping an eye on these other issues that are brought up in the thread. Thanks everyone for your feedback.

Hi Ryan,

My luck with the Audi Henderson and AoA was zero.

Unfortunate really.

I know others in this post from other states had this fixed, but was only able to provide service record of it being fixed by a member from California, to which AoA said that it fell under Ca emissions and not the Federal Emissions Warranty. If you have any luck, please let me know.

Thanks.

This is currently happing to our 2019 A4. Dealer (using Audi roadside Care) had it towed to the nearest dealer (and they kept it 3 weeks) only had excuses and no solution except they tightened (2) plugs. After less than 2 days back from shop same thing happened again, car runs very rough, shakes like a top fuel dragster on nitrous and will only travel about 2-5 mph and now going back to the dealer where we purchased the car

I am going to guess you either have a bad injector, bad coil pack, or bad spark plug. Or some combination of that. Keep us posted. But I don't think it would be related to the radiator grill shutter actuator failing (and don't even know if you have one), but I have seen stranger things happen... LOL.

This happened to me a few days ago. I was at a stop light turning left and the engine had shut off. I punched it to make the arrow and it started up and immediately shuddered and rumbled. The drive system malfunction error came on. I kept driving a block to the next light. I turned it off, waited 10 seconds and restarted. It drove fine the rest of the trip. It hasn’t happened since. All the plugs and coils were replaced within 500 miles. I hope it was a one time occurrence.

Just had the air shutter code problem on our 2017 Q7, i.e. fault P05A00. The dealer in SoCal used TSB 2048402/8 and repaired it under the 1E1 8/80 warranty. Our vehicle has 38K miles. The dealer did wheel alignment and ACC radar calibration as called for in the TSB. I don't know what the cost would have been if not under warranty, but north of $2K no doubt. Unfortunately the dealer also diagnosed leaking motor mounts, so that is a $2K repair.

Please see the TSB number in "owens" post above. If not, you can take this in with you to the dealer. It is many pages earlier in this thread. You're welcome.
