Consumer Description

2010 AUDI Q5 WITH CAMSHAFT SENSOR FAILURE RESULTING IN THE EPC SYSTEM ENGAGING WHICH PUTS THE VEHICLE IN SAFE-MODE. FIRST ATTEMPT AT REPAIR FIXED NOTHING. AUDI DID NOT ALLOW THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE FAILED SENSOR ON THE FIRST REPAIR VISIT, RATHER THEY INSTEAD SWAP LIKE-SENSORS AROUND, THE SEEMING EQUIVALENT OF RE-ARRANGING A BURNED OUT LIGHT BULB. IT IS QUITE FRIGHTENING WHEN THE EPC SYSTEM DEPLOYS, AND A MORE PROACTIVE APPROACH FROM AUDI ON DEALING WITH THIS FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM SHOULD BE MANDATED. *TR
