On some people's systems, the quick time events are de-synced. I can’t replicate the problem on my end to fix it for the few people who have reported it.
It’s not ideal, but the "bandaid" solution to get through them is to try to time the input right before you normally would hear the fail noise and ignore the graphics. You can mouse-wheel to roll back to try again and again to brute force it this way.
You could also try deleting all your game files and re-installing the game. Downloading errors are a common source of problems, and a fresh install usually fixes them.
