NHTSA Complaint #11416344 — 2015 AUDI Q5

I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. TURNING CORNERS AT SLOW SPEED WAS VERY TOUGH AND JERKY. CONTROL OF THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT THE SLOWER THE SPEED. HIGHWAY WASN'T TOO BAD BUT YOU IT STILL TOOK MORE EFFORT THAN WAS NORMALLY EXPECTED/EXPERIENCED. FIRESTONE SERVICE NOTED A OPENING IN THE UPPER STEERING SHAFT. THEY SPRAY LUBRICATED THE SHAFT AND IT APPEARS TO BE BACK TO NORMAL, BUT SINCE THERE THE SHAFT IS OPEN TO WEATHERING THIS IS NOT A PERMANENT FIX.
