2011 AUDI Q5 Complaints

ENGINE LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND VERY EXPENSIVE IGNITION COIL/ SPARK PLUG REPAIRS ARE ALWAYS THE ISSUE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION WHEN THE FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON SHORTLY AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED ON WHEN IT'S THE IGNITION COILS/ SPARK PLUGS. WHEN THE IGNITION COILS/ SPARK PLUGS ARE THE ISSUE, THE CAR SHAKES.

TAKATA RECALL THEY HAVE NOT RELEASED A FIX TO MY DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NOW THEY ARE FILING CHAPTER 11. WHAT DO I NEED IN ORDER TO FIX THIS ISSUE?

PANORAMIC SUNROOF START LEAKING WATER WHEN RAIN AND PANORAMIC FOAM SWELLS, FOAM BECOMES RUSIED AND BUILDS CORROSION.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT: NEW COUNTRY AUDI GREENWICH 181 WEST PUTNAM AVENUE, GREENWICH, CT 06830 AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. 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. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING FOR 8 DAYS I WENT IN GARAGE TO CRANK IT. THE CAR CRANKED BUT SHOOK VIOLENTLY. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT IT OFF. I TRIED TO RE CRANK IT BUT IT WOULD NOT CRANK. I CALLED AUDI AND HAD IT TOWED IN. THEY TOLD ME THE "LIFETIME" TIMING CHAIN WAS STRETCHED. THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST BETWEEN $4,000 AND $7,000 TO FIX. I DID SOME QUICK SEARCHING AND SAW OTHER FOLKS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR HAS 98,000 MILES , ALWAYS SERVICED BY AUDI. I CALLED AUDI AND TOLD THEM THIS APPEARS TO BE A RE OCCURRING ISSUE AND I THOUGH THEY SHOULD HANDLE THE FIX. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID THEY WOULD SPLIT THE COST. I TOLD THEM TO PROCEED WITH THE REPAIR. THIS IS THE SECOND MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE, THE FIRST WAS "OIL CONSUMPTION" WHICH THEY REPAIRED FOR FREE. ANOTHER $7,000 FIX. I JUST SAW A EPISODE ON "NEWS 5 INVESTIGATES" CHICAGO DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH A VW, AND ALSO LISTING AUDI'S 2011. ITS ON THEIR WEBSITE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. IT HAS TAKEN TOO LONG TO GET MY AIRBAGS AG. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS IT IS A HIGH RISH OF INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST OF 2016. THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED

TAKATA RECALL ISSUED IN 2016 BUT MY DEALER HAS BEEN WAITING OVER 6 WEEKS FOR PARTS TO DO THE INTERIM REPAIR. AIR BAGS HAVE NEVER DEPLOYED BUT I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT POSSIBLE INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT

TAKATA RECALL," DEALER IS UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IS NOT AVAILABLE. FEAR OF GETTING HURT. NO INCIDENT YET.

RECEIVING LEFT HEADLIGHT DIPPED ERROR. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH AUDI ACROSS MODEL RANGE POSSIBLY DUE TO DESIGN ISSUE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CAMPAIGN NOT IMPLEMENTED ON MY VEHICLE YET. AUDI JUST PERFORMED AN AUDI RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IGNITER HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE RECALL. AUDI APPEARS TO BE TELLING CONSUMERS HOWEVER THAT IT DOES.
