The cooling system failed without warning! As I’m driving on the highway my vehicle began smoking! I smelled a burnt smell! Upon getting off the highway , I noticed my coolant had leaked almost completely out! I check my vehicle every morning before work as I drive through three counties to get to work and my coolant was full as I had just topped it off that morning! Upon inspection it was found from a local mechanic to be the water pump! My truck was fine last month upon getting a n inspection.
Vehicle: 2015 Audi Q5 2.0T VIN: [XXX] At around 70,000 miles, my vehicle began consuming engine oil abnormally. I received a low-oil warning and had to add 1 quart every 1,000 miles. I first approached an authorized Audi dealer at 75,000 miles, who inspected the vehicle and stated this was “normal for older vehicles” and found no issues. However, the problem worsened rapidly. By 79,000 miles, I visited a second Audi dealer who acknowledged that this was a common problem in this engine type. They quoted me $16,000–$20,000 for a full engine replacement, stating they could not replace pistons alone. At 80,000 miles, my car now consumes 1 quart of oil every 200 miles. The oil warning light comes on frequently. I am forced to carry oil and top off multiple times per week. This is not normal wear for a luxury vehicle with regular maintenance. This condition creates multiple...
My words: An overheated electrical connection near the fuel tank overheated, thus cutting off the fuel pump system. This is similar to other fuel pump recalls with Audi A3 vehicles. BEGINNING OF MECHANIC REPORT: Concern? = Customer states he was on a trip driving on the highway, parked it and it wouldnt restart. Vehicle is cranking and not starting. Codes were pulled from the vehicle is there are fuel pump related codes. Cause = Confirmed concern vehicle does not start. fault codes P0087, p3073, p3043, removed rear seat and checked pump control module. found power supplied to control module but no power to pump. also found connector to control module melted. advise replacement of control module, in tank pump, and control module connector to start." END OF MECHANIC REPORT The markings on the fuel pump control module are as follows, line by line: "VW emblem" "Audi emblem" Germany 1j0 973...
in 2017 Audi repaired a leaky fuel pump in my Q5 due to a recall. My vehicle now has less than 35k miles since that repair and the new-replacement fuel pump flange is failing again. Fuel was coming out and created a significant fire risk to life and property. Audi has refused to deal with the issue and speaking with mechanics at 3 dealerships revealed that the replacement parts are failing at an alarming rate. I would like this looked into.
Faulty pistons, piston rings and piston heads responsible for excessive oil consumption. Excessive oil consumption occurs because the combustion chamber is not properly sealed off from the Audi turbo engine parts that need to remain lubricated. Because of inadequate lubrication, fragments of the piston rings flow through the Audi 2L turbo engines and damage important components. As a result, our 2015 Audi Q5is at risk for immediate loss of engine power. There is currently a class action law suit against Audi for this problem for cars in this year range, but nothing has been solved.Audi's answer to this problem is to bring the car in every 300-500 miles for free oil top offs. This does NOT solve the underlying problem nor eliminate the deadly risk of total engine failure. People are driving around in vehicles at risk for complete failure. The Audi dealership states that to replace piston rings, it...
The car is using/burning excessive oil. I’m adding oil every 300-500 miles. There was an open recall in the past for the exact same consumer problems. I purchased this car used in April of 2022 and it’s been an on going problem since I’ve had it.
HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN LEAKING GASOLINE INTO MY ENGINE OIL. IT HAS CAUSED ISSUES WHEN STARTING MY CAR. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE .
I HAVE AN AUDI TDI THAT THE DIESEL EMISSIONS RECALL WAS COMPLETED. I BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY SERVICE ADVISOR - DEALER, THAT WHEN THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP IS WARM/HOT AND THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP, THERE APPEARS LAG IN THE ACCELERATION THEN SUDDENLY THERE IS A QUICK BURST OF SPEED WHERE THE VEHICLE CATCHES UP TO THE FOOT ACCELERATOR POSITION. LIFTING THE FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AIDS IN SLOWING DOWN BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT IF ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER GETS IN THE CAR THERE MIGHT BE A DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR DID NOT NOTE THIS CONDITION ON THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS - THINGS TO FIX AT LAST SERVICE. HE DID STATE THAT ALL THE VW-PORSHE-AUDI DIESEL VEHICLES ARE DEALING WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND THAT I JUST NEEDED TO ADJUST MY DRIVING, THERE IS NO CURRENT RESOLUTION FOR THE CONDITION. I...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
CAR SMELLS WHEN TURNING THE HEATER ON. CAR STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE EMISSION. EVEN IF THE EMISSION IS FIXED I STILL NEED TO INCREASE GAS/AD-BLUE.
I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. BUT I HAVE ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING TO REMIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR INFORMING ANY RECALLS. MY CAR HAD FEW RECALLS PREVIOUSLY AND EACH TIME I GOT A NOTIFICATION. BUT FOR THE LATEST OPEN RECALL THAT MY CAR HAS, NO ONE INFORMED ME. THE RECALLING HAS BEGAN SINCE MAY 2017 AND NO ONE INFORMED THIS RECALL FOR NEARLY 4 MONTHS UNTIL I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP 2 WEEKS AGO FOR SCHEDULING MY SERVICE DATE. AND THE DEALERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT IMY CAR HAS A RECALL. AND THIS RECALL IS MORE RISKY AND DANGEROUS AND WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND WHO WILL TAKE THE RESPONSIBILTY OF LOOSING MY AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES? AND EVEN THIS IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT RECALL THEY SCHEDULED ME FOR OCTOBER 6TH FOR TAKING CARE OF THE RECALL AND SERVICE. THIS IS SO DISSAPOINTED AND WHY NOBODY INFORM THESE RECALLS....
