2011 AUDI Q5 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY FOR OVER A YEAR AND DO NOT APPEAR TO BE MAKING PROGRESS ON THE WAITLIST AT MY DEALERSHIP (PENSKE AUDI). THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES THE MANUFACTURER AND THE MANUFACTURER BLAMES THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI Q5. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED A FUEL ODOR. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING MESSAGE APPEARED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE COLLECTION AUDI (200 BIRD RD, CORAL GABLES, FL 33146, (305) 444-5555), BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE CAR SMELLS TO RAW GAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I GET IN IT THE ISIDE SMELLS TO RAW GAS ALSO. I AM NOT GETTING ANY WARNING SIGNS.

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 ON THE HIGHWAY, A LIGHT CAME ACROSS MY DASH THAT SAID 'PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION!' MOMENTS LATER MY 2011 AUDI Q5 CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP CAUSING A 3 CAR PILE UP. MY CAR HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED IN JUNE AND GOTTEN NEW BRAKES AT THAT TIME AS WELL.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ROUTE 30 (GREENSBURG PA) WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ACCELERATION WHICH NEARLY CAUSED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE ISSUE INVOLVED THE FRONT DRIVE CHAIN AND SUPPORT. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO AUDI'S. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 6OK MIKES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE I BROUGHT OUR CAR IN TO THE AUDI DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE. I'M CONCERNED THAT CONTINUING TO DRIVE IT REPRESENTS A GRAVE SAFETY CONCERN TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. WHAT IS BEING DONE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO?

TAKATA RECALL! THE ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON AND THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. ONE OF THE DOORS HAVE TROUBLE LOCKING AND THE OTHER CAN'T SENSE THE REMOTE FOR UNLOCKING, IT NEEDS TO OPEN MANUALLY FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON.THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE SHOP FOR WEEKS AND EXPENDED 2K WITH CHANGING THIS AND THAT BUT NOTHING WAS FIXED. THE ISSUE IS STILL EXISTS. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON!
