Q3

  • 51,000 miles
My 2015 Q3 is having the same problem timing chain failure lined in the 2019 recall for models from 2008-2014. My 2015 has about 51,000 miles and should not be having this issue according to several mechanics and my Audi representative could not provide me any information other than that my VIN didn't fall in the class action even if I was having the same problem. I believe my model year should at least be reviewed if the problem was common just a year before.
