Audi Q5 Change Vehicle

"Brake pad wear was about what I would expect. Price charged to do so by Audi dealer was excessive."

"Brakes squeaked ...replaced all,,,still squeaks when stepped on"

"Mileage is now over 20,000. Brake squeaking has been a nagging issue. It's somewhat correlated to weather & moisture conditions, but not always."

"Recall of cooling fan was corrected by dealer."

"Technician told my husband it was broken during routine maintenance check. Replaced it as it was under warranty."

"recall to repair coolant pump to keep it from possibly overheating"

"Shorts out easily"

"The backup lights provide very little illumination. I've complained to the dealer who said they are operating properly but it's just a design problem."

"Keyless entry originally recognized the key fob and unlocked door upon close appoach. This feature stopped working for no apparent reason and required a trip to an Audi dealer. It was however covered by warranty at 3 years"

"Turns off randomly when very hot."

"A/C compressor stopped working and had to be replaced"

"Add coolant notification appeared. Added coolant. When car was serviced a leak in coolant pump was discovered. Also thermostat had to be replaced."

"The steering wheel made a lot of noise when turning. This only happened when the car was cold, after warming up the sound went away. The dealership was aware of the issue and fixed it"

"Purchased this vehicle as Certified. On drive home the vibration was so bad we had to reduce speed. Reported it immediately. When I started reading the paperwork on the ‘certified’ vehicle, it showed an outstanding recall. I called a second time in 2 hours after getting home and the salesman tried to Gaslight me. Told me it had a clean Carfax report. Failed to understand the Audi Certification was the important reason for me as this meant Audi backed this used vehicle purchase. Sent an updated Carfax - big deal. Wanted verification of the repair. Back to the vibration problem. Took it in after scheduling an appointment with an assurance this would just take an hour or so. 1 hour in, they could not find any problem. Went for a drive with service manager. Sure enough, 70 mph and the vehicle is shimmying, steering wheel shaking. He says ‘I don’t see any problem’. Incredulous. Back to the dealership, we wait another 40 minutes and the car has not moved. We decide to leave and take it elsewhere. Next week take it to local repair shop (not Audi) and they find a 5 inch diameter patch of dried clay mud on the inside of a wheel. We bought the vehicle in January in the upper Midwest. And had not been above freezing the whole time we had the vehicle which meant that patch of mud was left on there since it was traded in the fall. Certified??? I’m concerned about this purchase. I’ve had a Certified Lexus that was 100% right from the day we bought it till we traded it 5 years later. Guess my expectations for this purchase were set too high. :/"

"The transmission slips at slow speed."

"Sometimes the transmission doesn't respond when shifting from or through neutral . It takes a big push on the gas to make it go, but then it lurches and is dangerous in tight places like parking spots. The dealer could not recreate the problem so they would not address it. However I have friends with the same car who have the same problem"

"Sensor problem under warranty."

"recall to repair defective fuel pump flange, fuel never actually leaked"

"The paint on the mirror was bubbling"
