2016 AUDI Q5 Complaints

VEHICLE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS COMPLETELY WORN OUT AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 20K MILES. WHEN QUESTIONED THE DEALER, THE SIMPLE REASON THEY GAVE US RUST. WHEN ASKED, WHERE THE RUST IS COMING FROM - THERE WAS NO ANSWER. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, WHERE I HAVE TO REPLACES ROTORS AND BREAK PADS, FOR VEHICLE WHICH HAS LESS THAN 20K MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS REGULARLY COMMUTED 15 MILES EVERY DAY.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED WITH MY VEHICLE YET. AUDI HAS ISSUED RECALL NHTSA 18V229. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR ABOUT ONE YEAR, AUDI HAS YET PROVIDE THE PART TO REPAIR THIS DISCREPANCY. HOW LONG DOES A MANUFACTURER HAVE TO FIX SOMETHING?

2016 AUDI Q5. CONSUMER WRITES IN REQUESTING INFORMATION FOR RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. *LD *TR

IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS I HAVE RECEIVED FOUR LETTERS FROM AUDI SAYING THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL 19N4 ABOUT A ELECTRIC AFTER RUN COOLANT PUMP. IN THEIR LETTERS THEY SAY THIS CAN LEAD TO POTENTIAL VEHICLE FIRE. YET WHEN I CALL AUDI THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE TO PLACE ME ON A LIST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED .I SURE HOPE MY WIFE AND I DON'T DIE IN A VEHICLE FIRE BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A PRIORITY FOR AUDI. WHY AREN'T THEY FORCED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN A MORE EXPEDIENT MANNER/

THIS CAR HAS SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) THREE TIMES, ONCE WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH, ONCE AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND LUCKILY THE LAST TIME IN A PARKING LOT.. THE FIRST TIME WAS NOVEMBER 23, 2018. THE ENGINE STOPPED AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIFT OVER TO THE LEFT SHOULDER. THOUGHT IS WAS A FLUKE BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED UP AGAIN. THE NEXT TIME DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN DECEMBER 2, VERY SCARY. WE BROUGHT IT TO AUDI AND THE REPLACED A FUEL COMPOSITION SENSOR AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. AFTER THEY 'FIXED IT' AND RETURNED THE CAR, IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT. WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN. AUDI SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT WE ARE CONCERNED THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND OTHER CARS MAY HAVE THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP A TOTAL THUS FAR OF 31 DAYS AND THEY CALLED TODAY TO TELL US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK, BUT THEY HAVE NOT FOUND THE PROBLEM. I GUESS THEY EXPECT US TO DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL IT SHUTS DOWN AGAIN AND WE GET REAR-ENDED AND KILLED.

COOLANT PUMP OVERHEATING ON GETTING CAR AFTER 3 WEEKS. DRIVING ON FREEWAY, COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON, THEN OIL SENSOR AND CAR STARTS TO SLOW DOWN WHERE ACCELERATION IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE, KILL SWITCH IS AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED, BURNING SMELL AND SMOKE STARTS COMING OUT. CAR NO LONGER STARTS.

I PURCHASED A NEW EPA COMPLIANT AUDI Q5 DIESEL ON MARCH 28TH 2018. THE VEHICLE HAD THE EPA EMISSIONS REPAIR COMPLETED. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED AN INTERMITTENT THROTTLE CONTROL ISSUE. IT PRIMARILY OCCURS AT SLOW SPEEDS. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, IF I SUDDENLY ACCELERATE, SUCH AS PASSING AROUND A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE THROTTLE WILL NOT WORK, DESPITE MY PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE GAS PEDAL AND REAPPLY IT TO GET THROTTLE RESPONSE. I BELIEVE THIS IS AN UNSAFE SITUATION AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY AUDI. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE TWICE AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 12 TIMES. I WAS RECENTLY ABLE TO REPLICATE IT TWICE IN A CONTROLLED SETTING, HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND NO ASSOCIATED CODES WITH A SCAN.
