#11505694 | Fire
The vehicle’s engine failed and ignited a fire. There is an active safety recall for the engine connecting rod of this vehicle. NHTSA recall number, 22V753. My husband was assigned a loaner vehicle owned by Audi Ontario with an active manufacture safety recall. The dealership was aware of the recall. The recall was not disclosed and the defective vehicle had not been inspected or repaired by Audio Ontario. My husband and my 3 year son were in the defective vehicle on the freeway when it malfunctioned. The engine burst into flames and began to lose function while driving in the carpool lane. The engine ultimately exploded on the side of the freeway with my husband and child nearly escaping with their lives. This incident resulted in both sustaining injuries and trauma. Audi Ontario’s negligence was reckless, dangerous, and displayed a complete disregard for human life. I believe Audi Ontario’s should...

I'm concerned about the engine connecting rod recall. I'm not too faithful of a dealer replacing the engine if that's what needed. If it is and we have problems, I will want a new q5.

I had Recall 22V573 performed in November 2022 (see attached service record), and they found no evidence of metal in the engine. Approximately 1,000 miles later my car stopped working suddenly on the highway while driving 65 miles an hour with no warning, except 30 seconds before when some warnings flashed and back smoke started coming out the back. It was completely inoperable. This is extremely dangerous as someone could have run into me from behind. I had to push the vehicle off the highway, which is also extremely dangerous. Audi Roadside was "not available", and I had to walk to a safe area for a tow truck that took 5 hours. The recall "repair" is not enough. You cannot just look to see if there are metal shavings, and if not, assume the car will not have them in the future. ALL the engines should be replaced unless they...

There is an open recall (action number 13i5) for this vehicle, and I've scheduled the appointment with the dealership in Morton Grove, Chicago. But they said they don't how much time they can fix the issue, maybe a month or longer if the engine needs to be replaced. And they can't not provide me with a loaner because there is no one available. I contacted the Audi, and they also said they don't know how long will it take to fix the vehicle, which is ridiculous as no ones knows how long will it take to fix the issue.

With just 800 miles on the vehicle after only having had it for 3 weeks after purchase, we were on the highway at 11pm at night and the engine started violently shaking to the point that the vehicle was undriveable; the emergency warnings on the dashboard came on, and the more we accelerated the more the vehicle shook. The longer we drove it to get to an emergency exit, the more it started shaking. Within about 30-60 seconds the car became completely undriveable. We were told conflicting things from the Audi service center and their technicians. We were first told that this was a complete engine failure that would need a new engine. We were told cylinder 3 lost pressure and was unresponsive. Then we were told it was just one faulty spring that needed to be replaced, and the vehicle was supposedly fine to run. Simultaneously, and in one-on-one...

Car jerks strongly when slightly accelerate on an incline. This jerking happened 2 more times. After 10 minutes driving on highway, car dashboard shown Electrical System: Malfunction and forced immediate exit off highway. We were on road trip and have to disable hybrid system and hoped no more car malfunction for the next 600 miles home. Took car to 2 service dealers and none could find error codes. Similar experience from this user that also took their Q5e to same McDonald Audi Denver https://www.audiworld.com/forums/q5-sq5-mkii-discussion-218/2022-q5e-stopped-working-electrical-system-malfunction-1k-miles-3040345/
