Repeated Drive System Malfunction Error

Repeated Drive System Malfunction Error
2018 Q7 owner with approximately 2300 miles 1/18 build
I have gotten this issue twice within a month when I floor the car. Its really scary trying to pull out into traffic with the car nearly stalling.
I have attached the codes the vehicle is recording. I have a appointment for the dealer on thursday and will also be having the following issues addressed
1. Sunroof Creaking at low speeds with heavy bumps
2. Drive System malfunction error message and near stalling
3. Passenger side rear seat has squeak coming from base when unoccupied
4. 360 Camera occasionally just shows lines (TSB for software flash) also switches to graphic when selected to be at camera overhead view
5. Rear Windshield wiper indicator light on stalk no longer functions (Red Light)
6. General brake vibration. Rotors feel warped
I am working with VWGOA in regards to my buyback on my allroad and will mention this to her. I will not tolerate repeat issues.

I think this issue has been reported on this sub before, but you'll have to search for it.
But two off topic questions.
Are you saying you are also in the process of getting another Audi being bought back, your Allroad?
And what app are you using on your phone that is showing you those codes?
Although it's not the same brand, my BMW recently had bad spark plugs that I didn't know about and just dealt with for a few months. It was fine under normal driving, but when gunning it to red line on the highway, I would get some awful shuddering and jitters before I'd hit a malfunction error and the car would shake until I pulled over, turned the car off and turned it back on again. So those codes do show some misfires so something might be up with the plugs. It gave the cars those "shakes" which I'm sure was just shy of a full out stalling and I was able to replicate it similar to the way you did, when entering the highway and accelerating a bit harder than normal.

I am in the process of replacing my B9 allroad. The 17 was bought back and now the 18 has a paint issue that they're replacing for a 19. Quite the story LOL
The app is on a beater phone I got- OBD Eleven scan tool

Correct. The 2018 XC90 was rear ended and I was done with Volvo in general.
I still am am happy with my decision to move back to Audi
