2012 Audi Q5 complaints

LOW OIL PRESSURE READING METAL FRAGMENTS IN ENGINE CAUSE ENGINE TO FAIL.

WHEN I REPLACED THE FRONT BRAKE ROTOR AND PAD, I FOUND THE LOWER CALIPER GUIDE PIN BUSHING WAS STUCK. IT STUCK SO BADLY AND TOOK A LOT OF HAMMERING TO GET IT OUT. THE BUSHING WAS HEAVILY RUSTED. SINCE THE CALIPER WILL NOT MOVE WITH A STUCK BUSHING, THE OUTSIDE PADS WILL NOT FULLY ENGAGE WITH THE ROTOR TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE BRAKING FORCE. NOTICED THE INNER PAD IS ALMOST GONE WHILE THE OUTER PADS STILL HAVE 5MM LEFT. THE BUSHING IS SUCH A SMALL YET SAFETY CRITICAL PART, SHOULD BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL. AUDI CHARGES MORE THAN $40 FOR SPARE, WITH THAT PRICE, ONE WOULD EXPECT BETTER QUALITY. YET IT SEEMS AUDI PUTS PROFIT ABOVE SAFETY.

I PURCHASED MY 2012 AUDI FROM CARMAX WITH 20,??? MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 106,000. I NOTICED MORE OIL CONSUMPTION THAN IT SHOULD. I AM VERY VERY ON TOP OF MAINTAINING MY VEHICLES. REGULAR MAINTENANCE ORIGINAL AUDI PARTS DURING REPLACEMENT.... THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. HAD THE CODE CHECKED AND IT WAS TURBO BOOSTER PROBLEM AND CRANKSHAFT. WAS TOLD FIXING CRANKSHAFT MAY POSSIBLY FIX TURBO BOOSTER CODE WITHOUT PAYING $3,000-4,000 TO FIX. AS THEY WERE FIXING IT I WAS TOLD THE CRANKSHAFT HAD RED LETTERS ON IT MEANING IT CAME FROM A JUNKYARD PRIOR TO MY PURCHASING IT! SO IT HAD TO HAVE GONE BAD BEFORE 20,000 MILES WHICH IS RIDICULOUS! SO I PAID THE $500.00 TO FIX IT AND DROVE IT 158 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. SO I JUST BURNED $500.00 FOR NOTHING! I LOVE MY AUDI BUT I WILL NEVER EVER PURCHASE AN AUDI THAT IS SUCH AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE AGAIN. IN DOING RESEARCH I SEE THAT 2012 AUDI ENGINES ARE VERY VERY BAD NEWS! APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF AUDI OWNERS. BUYER BEWARE!

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE TURBO UNDERBOOSTING. ERROR CODE WAS P0299 NEGATIVE PRESSURE DEVIATION, TURBOCHARGED EXCESSIVE WASTEGATE PLAY OCCURRED ON AUDI WITH 68K. REQUIRES A NEW TURBO CHARGER TO FIX.

THESE VEHICLES CONSUME OIL EXCESSIVELY CAUSING CONSUMERS TO CARRY OIL QUARTS INSIDE THEIR VEHICLES HAVE READ ITS THE PISTONS WHICH BURN THE OIL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM AUDI TO FIX THIS INCONVENIENT PROBLEM.

WITH NORMAL CITY DRIVING SPEED ENGINE RODE ROUGH AND THEN STOPPED. TOWED TO AUDI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER PROBLEM LIKE MANY OTHERS, BUT EVEN THOUGH MINE IS THE SAME ISSUE, IT IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT SETTLEMENT CLASS. COST TO REPAIR IS MORE THAN $6,000.

TIMING CHAIN JUMPED AT 63,000 MILES. AND VEHICLE ALSO NEEDED CYLINDER HEAD REPLACEMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 AUDI Q5. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V660000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUDI WEST HOUSTON (15865 KATY FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77094) TO BE REPAIRED. WHILE REPAIRING THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE, THE DEALER CUT THE FUEL LINE, WHICH PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM BEING DRIVEN AND ALLOWED FUEL TO LEAK IN THE BACK SEAT. THE DEALER DID NOT CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

I AM HAVING TO ADD OIL EVERY 500-800 MILES. I DID NOT HAVE THE OIL CONSUMPTION TEST DONE DUE TO IT SOUNDS LIKE A WASTE OF MONEY AND THEY DO NOT EVEN FIX THE PROBLEM. IS ANYONE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS IN THE 2013 MODELS? I AM THINKING ABOUT TRADING IT IN OR MAYBE I SHOULD JUST GO TO A DIFFERENT MAKE TRUCK.

TIMING CHAIN AND/OR TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER FAILURE ON MY VEHICLE. THIS SAME ISSUE IS IIN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. MY VEHICLE ENGINE SIZE AND YEAR ARE LISTED BUT MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE THEY EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE AND WILL HAVE TO PAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE REPAIRED. I FEEL LIKE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER VIN #'S THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT ARE NOT BEING ACKNOWLEDGED BY AUDI. THE VEHICLE BARELY STARTS AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY POWER WHEN MOVING FORWARD. IT WAS IN MOTION.

DUE TO EXTREME COLD WEATHER THE REAR SUNROOF GLASS PANE SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVER NIGHT IN NEGATIVE DEGREE WEATHER; NOT IN MOTION. AUDI DEALERSHIP RECOGNIZES THIS AS A NATURAL CAUSED INSTANCE, NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY AND NOT COVERED UNDER THE PAST RECALL, WHICH WAS ONLY FOR THE FRONT SUNROOF GLASS PANE.

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED BY JUMPED TIMING CHAIN CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIR TENSIONER. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON 12/03/2015 WITH 45,483 MILES. I MAINTAINED MY VEHICLE AT INDEPENDENT MECHANICS DUE TO THE DISMAL SERVICE AT THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND ITS POOR ONLINE REVIEWS. I FREQUENTLY ADDED OIL TO THE ENGINE WHEN PROMPTED BY THE CAR. ON JANUARY 10, 2016, I LEFT THE GYM AND STARTED MY CAR. IT TOOK LONGER THAN NORMAL TO TURN OVER, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE CAR TO AUTOZONE WHO PULLED THE P001600 DTC CODE (CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CORRELATION). I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO ALSO PULLED THE P001600 IN ADDITION TO THE P02900 DTC (TURBO UNDER BOOST). THAT MECHANIC ALSO HEARD NOISE FROM ENGINE TIMING COVER AREA AND COOLANT SEEPAGE/LEAK AT THE WATER PUMP AREA. THEY RECOMMENDED THE CAR BE TOWED TO A SPECIALIST, WHICH WAS DONE. HE PULLED THE P001600 (237) DTC CODE AND A P0562 LOW VOLTAGE CODE. AT THIS TIME, I CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE. I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE TIMING CHAIN CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE TENSIONER, BUT INFORMED THAT MY VIN WASN'T COVERED. AT THEIR RECOMMENDATION, THE CAR WAS TOWED TO AN AUDI DEALERSHIP. ALL SERVICE RECORDS, OIL RECEIPTS, ETC WERE PROVIDED TO AUDI. AUDI "DECLINED ASSISTANCE", LEAVING ME WITH AN UNDRIVEABLE CAR, A $750 BILL FROM THE MECHANIC, $55 TOW BILL, $150 (AND GROWING) RENTAL CAR CHARGE, AND AN ESTIMATE OF OV

TAMARA RECALL. MY DEALER, AUDI OF STRATHAM NH KEEPS SENDING ME CARDS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT A MONTH AGO AND WHEN I ARRIVED WAS TOLD THEY DIDN'T HAVE IT. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT FOR TODAY, 1/4/19, ON THE BASIS OF BEING TOLD THAT THEY HAD IT IN HAND. WHEN I CALLED TODAY THEY DIDN'T. THEY BLAME IT ON AUDI, SAY THEY ARE ONLY THE DEALERSHIP.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION

TAKATA AIRBAGS - THE DEALERSHIP NEAR US THAT SERVICES OUR AUDI VEHICLES WILL NOT PERFORM THE RECALL WORK SERVICE. THEY CLAIM THE STEERING WHEEL WAS CHANGED. THEY QUOTED US A $2500 PRICE TO REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN THEY CAN DO THE RECALL WORK. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED. WE DID NOT CHANGE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL IS AN AUDI S LINE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IS AN S LINE AS INDICATED ON VARIOUS PARTS THROUGHOUT THE CAR. I WENT TO LUXURY HAUS WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR AND THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. I CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE ISSUE BUT CLOSED OUR CASE WITH NO WRITTEN EXPLANATION. I SPOKE TO THE PERSON HANDLING MY CASE AND THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN IT TO ME AS THEY WERE NOT QUALIFIED. I ASKED TO SPEAK TO A QUALIFIED PERSON SO I CAN AT LEAST UNDERSTAND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I NEVER RECEIVED AN EXPLANATION EITHER WRITTEN OR VERBAL OVER THE PHONE. WE DID NOT CHANGE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STEERING WHEEL MATCHES THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL IS AN AUDI PRODUCT. WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE NEED TO SPEND $2500 TO GET ANOTHER SAME STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO GET THIS SAFETY RECALL COMPLETED. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT IS 6 YEARS OLD. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US WE CANNOT TRADE THE CAR IN UNTIL WE ADDRESS THE RECALL. I COULD NOT TRY TO SELL IT PRIVATELY KNOWING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM EXISTS AND DUMPING THIS PROBLEM ONTO SOMEONE ELSE. IT SEEMS VERY UNFAIR.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. *TT UPDATED 11/26/18*JB

EVERY TIME I CALL THE AUDI DEALER NEAREST ME WHICH IS MISHAWAKA, IN THEY NEVER HAVE ANY PARTS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED SINCE OCTOBER OF 2017. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS WEAR OUT VERY QUICKLY. THE LATEST ONES I ADDED ON 11/7/2017. AND WERE REPLACED ON 9/1/2018. THIS IS THE 3RD SET, SINCE THE OEM FACTORY CONTROL ARMS WERE INSTALLED IN APRIL 2012 IN GERMANY.

I AM A MILITARY SERVICE MEMBER ASSIGNED IN STUTTGART, GERMANY. MY VEHICLE WAS SHIPPED HERE IN DECEMBER 2017, AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS. NOW MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. BELOW IS WHAT I SENT AUDI OF AMERICA AS WELL AS THEIR RESPONSE. PLEASE ASSIST IN RESOLVING THIS MATTER BECAUSE AUDI OF USA DID NOT PROVIDE A VIABLE, SAFE SOLUTION. THANK YOU MY VEHICLE IS IN STUTTGART, GERMANY AND WAS SHIPPED AS PART OF MY MILITARY WORK DIRECTED MOVE IN OCTOBER 2017. THIS VEHICLE HAS AN OPEN TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND YESTERDAY I VISITED A LOCAL GERMAN DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH INSPECTING MY CAR OR REPLACING AN AIRBAG IF NEEDED. COULD YOU PLEASE AND URGENTLY LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN RESOLVE THIS RECALL ISSUE WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN STUTTGART, GERMANY? I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT ASSIST CONSIDERING THE RISK POSED TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS/PEDESTRIANS IF THIS AIRBAG ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I ALSO HAVE CONCERNS CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO WORK IF THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ITEM ISSUED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HAS A VERY LARGE HOUSING AND CAUSES A BLIND SPOT JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I HAVE HAD 2 NEAR MISSES, ONE WITH ALMOST HITTING A CAR AND ONE WITH ALMOST HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. THEY WERE IN THE BLIND SPOT WHEN I BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, FROM A STOP, AND DID NOT SEE THEM. I WAS ON A CITY STREET, STOPPED AND THEN BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON BOTH OCCASIONS.

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE NOW RECEIVED 4 OR 5 LETTERS OVER THE PAST 9 MONTHS INFORMING US OF THE RECALL AND TELLING US OUR LIFE MAY BE IN DANGER AND TO CONTACT OUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. WHEN I CALL OUR DEALER (PEABODY, MA), THEY INFORM ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL. WHEN I CONTACTED AUDI USA THEY INDICATED IT IS NHTSA WHO DETERMINES WHICH DEALERS GET THE PARTS AND WHEN. IF YOU AREN'T SUPPLYING THE PARTS, DON'T REPEATEDLY REQUIRE AUDI TO SEND ME LETTERS TELLING ME MY LIFE MAY BE IN DANGER. IT'S A BIT LIKE THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLF, I NO LONGER BELIEVE YOU REALLY MEAN MY LIFE IS IN DANGER, BECAUSE IF YOU DID, YOU'D ENSURE THE PART IS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE 2 MOST RECENT LETTERS ARE ATTACHED.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST 2016. WHEN I FOUND OUT IT HAS AIRBAG PROBLEMS I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM THAT AUDI DID NOT HAVE REMEDY TO FIX THE AIRBAGS ON OCTOBER 2016. I HAD AN OPEN HEART SURGERY IN 2013 AND DRIVING IN THE VEHICLE WITH DEFECTED AIRBAGS WAS NOT AN OPTION. I TRADED THIS VEHICLE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND LOST MY TRADE IN VALUE OF $9000.SOMEONE HAS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND I THINK IF DEALERSHIP CANNOT RECOUP MY LOSS OF $9000, THAN AUDI SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR MY LOSS. I WAS COULDN'T TAKE A CHANCE TO DRIVE IN UNSAFE VEHICLE AND WAIT TILL NOW TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. I WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT THE TIME OF SALE THAT THERE WAS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FROM MANUFACTURER TO FIX AIRBAGS IN 10/2016. I HAVE MY INITIAL CONTRACT FOR VEHICLE PURCHASE. I DO NOT HAVE THIS VEHICLE IN MY POSSESSION ANY LONGER AND TRADED IN ON ANOTHER AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP.

WE HAD FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WITH OTHER CAR BRANDS WHOSE DEALERS GAVE THEM LOANERS OR RENTAL CARS BUT AUDI OFFERED US NOTHING. ULTIMATELY, WE TRADED IN THE CAR BECAUSE WE WERE SO WORRIED.
