We leased a 2025 Q5 in October 2025. Soon after we drove it, we began to notice random warnings like adaptive cruise unavailable, traffic sign recognition unavailable,and others. There was a front proximity warning that would come on for no reason, automatic headlight dimming unavailable. When the adaptive cruise warning came on, we were unable to restart the cruise until we shut the car off for about ten minutes. The problem would return within ten minutes to an hour. The Saskatoon dealership updated the software, that didn’t help. We are snowbirds and during our 2400 km drive over three days, adaptive cruise was available for approximately 5 hours. We checked into the dealership at our destination and told them to check it out. They did and found nothing. They updated the software with the same result. Both the service consultant and my contact in Saskatoon indicated that there were reports of other vehicles with similar problems. We have cancelled our lease and are waiting to see if there’s any compensation for the inconvenience that we endured.
