Consumer Description

THIS IS MY SECOND FAILURE EVENT LOOSING STEERING ON MY 2014 SQ5. TWO YEARS AGO I POSTED THE 1ST EVENT. THE DEALER ORDERED NEW RACK AND PINION FROM GERMANY WHICH FIXED IT....TEMPORARILY. HERE TWO YEARS LATER NOW JANUARY 2016, THIS 2ND EVENT I WAS NOT DRIVING. UPON STARTING THE CAR THE DISPLAY LIT UP RED "DO NOT DRIVE STEERING FAILURE". THE AUDI FOLKS HAD FLATBED TRUCK COME. AT THIS MOMENT A 2ND NEW RACK AND PINION IS COMING FROM GERMANY. IN 2015 I RCV'D THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAD AUDI DO THE UPDATE FIRMWARE FIX. OBVIOUSLY MY 1ST REPLACED R&P PLUS THE FIRMWARE FIX DID NOT ELIMINATE THIS DANGEROUS FAILURE FROM RE-OCCURRING YET AGAIN.
