Q5 Preium Plus 2.0L

The Audi q5 year 2015 has a serious problem with the rear sub frame rusting to the point of no repair. Must get a new subframe which cost over 1,100 dollars to fix. Not covered by any warranty due to this is a common problem with this vehicle. This should be a recall because many owners are not aware that the caps put on the subframe hold moisture and the subframe rust out. I was unable to pass my vehicle inspection due to the seriousness of the problem. The parts cost between $500-1,100 to replace. People check your Audi Q5 for this problem it will cost you in the long run. Before you purchase make sure the subframe is not rusted beyond repair and will fail DMV inspection. Audi should do better take them dam caps off which is the problem.
