2012 AUDI Q5 Complaints

IM LOOSING A LITER OF OIL EVERY 200-500 MILES AND TYRANNY FEELS LIKE IT SLIPS A LITTLE BUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS WHY IM WRITING THIS I BOUGHT MY 2012 AUDI Q5 PREMIUM SPORT EDITION WITH A 2.0 TURBO WITH 80,000 MILES AND WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION!!

CAR BURNING EXCESSIVE OIL. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. OIL CONSUMPTION IS NOT NORMAIL. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. FROM WHAT I HEAR FROM OTHER AUDI OWNERS TO REPAIR THE ENGINE IT WILL COST AROUND $6,000.00. THE PISTONS AND RINGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SINCE THERE ARE SOOOO MANY COMPLAINTS, AUDI SHOULD RECALL THIS ISSUE AND FIX IT FOR ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.

WITH 100,000 MILES THE VEHICLE STARTED USING OIL QUICKLY. OVERTIME AFTER OIL CHANGES HAD TO CONSISTENTLY ADD 1 LITER EVERY TWO WEEKS. WITHOUT NOTICE VEHICLE COMPLETELY FAILED AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP AND WORKS ON THE INSIDE BUT THE ENGINE WON'T TURN OVER WHICH IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 2011 RECALL. THIS CAUSES ME TO HAVE A NON WORKING VEHICLE AND STILL HAVING PAYMENTS. WHEN ASKED ABOUT REPAIRING WAS TOLD I NEED A WHOLE NEW MOTOR AT A MINIMUM OF $8,000.

I HAVE CODE PO299 TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A UNDERBOOST CONDITION. I WAS UNDER WARRANTY IN 2016 TO HAVE MY PISTONS AND RINGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE OIL CONSUMPION WAS VERY HIGH, NOW I'M BURNING MORE OIL AND I CHANGED THE DIVERTER VALVE I'M STILL COMING UP WITH P0299 CODE AND NEED TO REPLACE MY TURBO AFTER 60K MILES FROM THE PISTON AND RINGS REPLACEMENT...I THINK THIS ALL HAS TO BE PART OF THE SAME PROBLEM AND AUDI SHOULD REPAIR IT FOR FREE.

ENGINE DIES WITH OUT NOTICE WHILE IN MOTION .RECEIVING WARNING NOT TO EXCEED 4000RPMS ,LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING WITH FLASHING EPC. *TR

I NOTICED MY OIL LIGHT COMING ON FREQUENTLY AND AUDI TOLD ME THAT THEY THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY HOOD LATCH SENSOR. AFTER ABOUT 6 MONTHS I ENDED UP PAYING TO REPLACE THE HOOD LATCH ONLY TO FIND OUT A MONTH LATER THAT MY OIL LIGHT CAME BACK ON SO THEY TOLD ME JUST ADD OIL. AFTER ANOTHER YEAR THEY AMOUNT OF OIL HAS INCREASED RAPIDLY AND I'M CURRENTLY AT 79,600 MILES. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON MY CAR UP TO YEAR 2011 ON THIS EXACT ISSUE. PROBLEM IS I HAVE A 2012 THAT WAS ORDERED IN 2011 AND I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE MODEL CAEB HAS THE OTHERS. I FILL UP 1 QUART EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. AUDI TOLD ME IT WAS OKAY TO KEEP FILLING WITH OIL AND IT WOULDN'T BE ANY DAMAGE, WHEN I FOUND OUT IT DOES CAUSE DAMAGE. THERE IS NO OIL LEAKING FROM THE BOTTOM, SO IT IS SCORING IN MY PISTON RINGS.

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FELL OFF. A SMALL CLIP THAT HOLDS IT ON WAS BROKEN SIMPLY ADJUSTING THE MIRROR. I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE MIRROR WAS PUT BACK ON BUT IF I TOUCH IT OR ADJUST IT WILL FALL OFF.

SINCE JANUARY 2019, THE VEHICLE OIL LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS TOLD BY AUDI DEALERSHIP THAT IT IS NORMAL TO ADD A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES OR SO. I AM ADDING A QUART PER 100 MILES. WHEN COMMUNICATING WITH AUDI DEALERSHIP MY CLAIMS WERE DISMISSED AND I WAS TOLD WORK COSTS TO REPLACE PISTON RINGS WOULD BE OVER $6000 DOLLARS. WHEN RESEARCHING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, MY ENGINE CODE IS THE ONE THAT IS AFFECTED BY THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM, BUT WHEN COMMUNICATING THAT TO AUDI OF AMERICA HOTLINE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REWARDED ANY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING AT STEADY HIGHWAY SPEED AND ALL WINDOWS CLOSED, THE CAR FRONT SUNROOF GLASS SECTION "EXPLODED" QUITE LOUDLY WITH GLASS BITS THROWN INTO THE AIR AND OTHER SMALL CHUNKY SECTIONS FALLING INTO THE FABRIC LINER AREA. HAPPILY NOT INTO THE CABIN. ABOUT 2-3 INCH BROKEN PERIMETER EDGE OF GLASS REMAINS IN PLACE. NO INDICATION OF ROAD DEBRIS HITTING THE CAR (NOR PASSING BY AN OVERPASS OR FROM TRUCK ROOF ETC. OUTSIDE TEMP ABOUT 75F. SEE INCLUDED PICS.

AT THE STATIONARY MY STEERING IS VERY STIFF, AND IS VERY HARD TO TURN IT. I ALMOST HIT THE PARKED CAR AND THE PERSON STANDING NEXT TO IT WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT FROM THE PARKING LOT. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTIC IS THAT THE STEERING SHAFT IS HAS THE TENDENCY TO SEIZE UP AND LOOK AND IS VERY DANGERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THE AUDI USA AND THEY SAY IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM AND THEY WON'T TAKE ANY ACTIONS TO FIX THIS. I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS. AUDI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND ACCORDING TO THE COMPLAINES ON Q5 THEY IMPROVED THE STEERING SHAFTS, BUT DON'T WON'T TO TAKE CARE OF THE PREVIOUS KNOWN ISSUE TO THEM. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDINGS AND FOR MY FAMILY SAFETY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, ACCORDING TO THEM WHEN I REPORT THE ISSUE THEY SAY THAT I DON'T HAVE STRONG CASE.
