My Audi Q2 etron has failed to start after an accident

[Tito]

I had a terrible accident earlier this morning on my way from a visit, I was already close to my house and I kinda lost focus and crashed into a tree, I am just glad it wasn't critical, but what's strange is that there was no airbags, and my seat belt got stuck, I had to force myself out. The car has been displaying a Drive System Malfunction error and it refused to start ever since.

I am safe now. Any advice on what to do about the car?

Sorry to hear about your accident! Seems like Audi Q2 e-tron may have serious issues if it’s showing a Drive System Malfunction and won’t start. It could be that the safety features kicked in, or the accident might have messed up something in the electrical system, engine, or transmission. Definitely best to get a pro to take a look at it - hitting up your local Audi dealership or an authorized service center is the way to go!

Yeah you definitely want a pro to check it out. They’ve got the skills and fancy tools to figure out what’s up with your ride and make sure it’s safe to hit the road again.

Glad to hear you're safe! For that car trouble, first, check for any visible damage. Then, just unplug the battery for a few minutes to reset the electronics and all. If the error keeps bugging you, it’s time to let the pro handle it.

Awesome to hear you’re okay.
Just don’t forget to take some pics! Capture the car, any damage, and what’s happening around you. It’s really important to share this info with your insurance company as soon as you can, they’ll be your go-to for sorting out the claims process.
