Q5

  • miles
The Audi Q5 was new in 2015 and I am the original owner. The vehicle has 135,600 miles on it. During an oil change visit to my repair shop, they informed me of significant rust corrosion to the subframe. My Audi dealer in Chantilly acknowledged that subframe rust was a design flaw on model years 2014, 2015, and 2016. Audi will not cover this under their 12 Year Rust Corrosion Perforation warranty. I believe this to be a significant safety hazard to the owners and their families who are still driving their Q5 without knowledge of the impending disaster. Impending disaster could be a subframe collapse at highway speed.

Q5

  • 36,203 miles
My 2015 Audi Q5 has 36,000 miles on it, is garage kept and taken well care of. It just now had both rear bearings go out at the same time. It made a horrible noise while on smooth highway, and I had it towed to a mechanic who deemed it unsafe to drive. There is a recall on the front bearings but Audi refuses to take responsibility for the issue. Unsafe and could kill people.
