Multiple times and at random times the vehicle reports "Central locking: malfunction! See owner's manual". When this happens, the driver's door is completely locked and driver cannot exit the vehicle. Door cannot be opened from outside either. So far this has only caused real delays, but this is a safety issue. I have reported the problem to Audi dealer but they advised that Audi has instructed them to apply software updates and not replace any parts. While the issue continues to re-appear, the dealer has dragged their feet to the point that vehicle is now out of the standard warranty. In researching the issue, this seems to be widely spread on Audi after 2019. Mine vehicle is a 2019 Audi e-tron quattro prestige.
