Twice in the last 2 weeks I have had the rear hatch open while I was driving. Both times stuff slid out into the street. I was alerted tonight by a helpful driver and I slowed down and pulled over. I had to turn around and go back to a busy intersection and pick up expensive Audi accessories from the street.
i always put the key fob in the slot in the middle console. In the car I only use the button on the driver door to open the hatch when parked.
Cant figure out what is causing this but worries me greatly if I am on the freeway or turnpike going 80.
i saw a thread here about the hatch opening while parked or in the garage but nothing about it opening while driving.
Has anyone else experienced this?

On MY2018 as long as the transmission is in gear (D, S, or R) the hatch button in the driver's door side pocket will NOT open the hatch, neither the fob button. Also, if you are in gear, you won't be able to open it from the outside either. Well, that's providing everything is working as designed in the system.

also i noticed once i open the door checking to see if i'm going to hit the curb while parking and the car stopped abruptly...so sound like there are safety mechanisms built in...but maybe the sensor for the rear tailgate is defective or something.

If you open a door while the Q is in a drive gear, it will automatically engage the parking brake... yep, safety feature...
