There are 2 owner-reported steering complaints for the 2010 Audi Q5in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
The Audi Q5 Premium Plus 2010 has a huge problem with the dashboard where it shows multiple dysfunctions! The worse is the back rear light and the steering wheels who makes awful noises, and so much more. I do not know why there is no recall for this model as they all have the same issues. Please advise.
THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED NOT LETTING ME START THE ENGINE OR MOVE THE CAR AGAIN AFTER TWO MINUTES. IT WAS SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS BUT I WAS LUCKY THAT NO OTHER CAR WAS BEHIND US AT THAT MOMENT. WHEN WE HAD THE CHANCE TO SWITCH THE CAR ON AGAIN, THERE WAS AN ALERT SYMBOL SHOWN TELLING US TO DRIVE CAREFULLY AT VERY SLOW SPEED AND PREFERABLY TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR FEW WEEKS WHERE THEY CHANGED SOMETHING IN THE AUTOMATIC GEAR SYSTEM AND ITS SOFTWARE. THIS CAR HAD PREVIOUSLY AN ENGINE CHANGE MORE THAN A YEAR AGO FOR PROBLEMS IN THE OIL CONSUMPTION. ALL THIS HAPPEN IN COSTA RICA (NOT USA). *TR
