Audi Q5

"Stopped working. May have something to do with iPhone update. Called Audi and they never replied but Covid is happening"

"While backing up, occasionally the car would assume that I'm about to hit an object and would react by locking my brakes in place. I am able to proceed backing up right after this happens, but it's not a pleasant experience and it is something I'm going to address with the manufacture after the stay at home orders are lifted."

"Picture is distorted. Very hard to judge distances"

"Perhaps this is not actually the backup parking camera. It has to do with the car's automatic gate opener button. It does not work when backing the car out of driveway, whereas it does work when pulling in. The dealer said this was a flaw that they were unable to fix."

"Front end sensor malfunctioned causing the audible in-car warnings (beeps) to go off repetitively and frequently, even when the car was stopped."

"Badly designed in glove compartment - must park car to change CDs."

"Display screen goes completely black and shows white letter jibberish (letters don't make sense or words). This has happened 3 times in the 6 months I've owned the car; 1 when I went to start the car, and 2 times while I was driving it (1 time I was playing the radio)."

"Brought the car to the dealer several times, & they look at it & say nothing is wrong but my 2014 Q5 did never had the display screen x the route maps go black in daylight"

"Not only the display goes blank but all electronics shutoff. System goes through a complete reboot just like when first starting the car. Only problem is I am hurling down the road at speed when all systems reboot."

"Seems as though this only happens in inclement or very cold weather.. Not sure why"

"Lots of problems - too many to describe here."

"I can't play music form my iphone 4s as it is not supported. Rest of Infotainment system is poorly designed and not worth the money"

"Connects to my iPhone but the display doesn't pop up and when I select it in the menu it still doesn't work. I usually have to plug unplug and plug the phone in a few times before it works. Also when using the phone the bluetooth connection interferes with the iphone connection and I cant hear the person I am talking to so I ususally disconnect the phone and just use bluetooth"

"System cannot understand vocal destinations"

"Did not give me the most direct route and consistently gave VERY poor directions."

"The MMI is annoying the touch pad doesn't recognize the difference between a 1 an I or an l Try entering an address with any of those letters or numbers in it and you guaranteed to get lost or extremely frustrated. Best is to just use a garmin or your phone as your navigation system because this thing couldn't navigate it's way out of a wet paper bag. Toatal crap!"

"The GPS is very hard to work so I never use it. I use google maps instead."

"prone to glitches, doesn't operate as designed. Voice command no longer functions"

"The interface is complex and difficult to master. When I need to know where I'm going, I just use my iPhone and Siri, even though MOST of the time, if I knew how to request a destination the Audi would display my progress with a gorgeous Google Maps display (Google Maps comes and goes inexplicably. My related issue is that we've never been able to figure out how to get the car to function as a mobile internet hotspot"

"Not able to access off grid addresses that my iPhone can find with no problem. Poor traffic control that my iPhone can direct me around. Could not direct me to a school one mile away. As this is a cloud based GPS it should be fixable."

"System just does not work. It does not recognize my voice. It does not have the smarts to recognize where it is and local landmarks close by. In Florida, it gives suggestions in Ontario and Quebec. Driving in Albany NY, in city proper it came up with Albanei - no recognition! My friends have same problem when tried my car. I try their Acura and BMW with no problems. I've had to resort to using my cell phone for directions which has no issues with my voice and promptly provides route guidance. EVERY THING ELSE with car is FANTASTIC. Audi GPS sucks. Audi needs to license from someone who knows what they are doing. Audi suggests if voice recognition doesn't work, stop over on side of road and either punch in text character by character OR hand draw character by character your destination. This is in the same section that if the car stops for any reason, do a Fred Flinstone and push forward with your feet. This GPS non function IS a major issue with me!"

"After pairing with my Verizon LG flip-phone successfully for 2 months it stopped pairing and I've been unable to reconnect it, and the dealer so far is unable to fix it. The car won't pair with a Bluetooth earpiece either. For a while the car even prevented me from using my phone as a hand-held phone, though currently I can use it with a wired earpiece."

"When car is started radio does not default to Preset radio stations. It defaults to whatever band was on at the time of shut down. IE: If FM was playing radio defaults to FM. If Sirius was playing it defaults to Sirius. I have to navigate to Presets every time I start the car. Very, very annoying."

"The radio comes on at will. Turn it off - then it may come back on. Dealer could not find the problem more than once."

"not a failure problem but an annoying problem. radio reverts to last station chosen, and preset stations are multi-clicks to reset."

"no AM reception"

"When radio buttons are selected often times the station will either not change or will not go to the correct station. Audi seems unable to fix it."

"After locking the car there were a number of times when I returned to find the back lid had flipped open. At my last service (10K miles) they said a software update would fix it. It has NOT - it happened again last week. This could easily lead to theft of items from the vehicle."

"Check engine light came on. Software fix."

"It just doesn't learn to understand our voices"

"Poor understanding of what I say. Often have to repeat command. System oftentimes never gets what I am asking for."

"User interface to navigation, phone, radio is poor including voice controls. Touch pad entry is worthless. No way to easily enter a destination address. Monitor stick out of dash is esthetically poor"

"The voice activation for inputting an address states it's inactive, to this date Audi has not been able to repair it. Google maps turns itself off, a lot of digging through options & the manual nor the help line are of little use. The GUI is not intuitive."

"sensor noises or something while engine off and sensors alarming when not near anything and once failing to alarm of curb causing bumper graze with $3300.00 damage to only plastic bumper parts!!!!"

"This fall for 2 mo we experienced a crackling sound in the dash. It has gone since. We are curious if it will return. Speed, or whether the air was on or off, did not matter"

"1-Rattle in Panoramic Moonroof. Dealer found loose bolt from manufacturing. Warranty repair 2-Sqeaky wipers after 2 months of ownership. Went to dealer for initial service after 7 months of ownership and dealer replaced the wipers charging me $65. Told me that the 6 month adjustment period from Audi had expired. I said I wasn't going to make apt for just squeaky wipers during this period now known to me. I appealed to Audi on their US site. They didn't come through. $50k car and Audi couldn't spring for new wiper blades."

"Turbo lag"

"The moonroof squeaks in cold temperature.Very annoying."

"Drivers door window is loose and rattles when driving over bumps."

"The sunroof had a constant rattle. The dealer kept the car for three weeks but provided a loaner car."

"center dash buzzes quite a bit, I brought it to the dealer to do a regular service and drove around with a tech, but the sound did not occur. Sound appears to come from the center console somehwere, but is hard to pin down."

"The drivers door rattles while traveling on rough road surfaces."

"The driver's seat squeaks. Back has been replaced with no solution. Annoying."

"Wind noise with windows down and speeds over 35mph"

"At 52,000 miles, the heat stopped working! Amazingly, this is just out of warranty and Audi has refused to cover it as a goodwill gesture. Will never buy an Audi again."

"The system at times would put out cold air in the upper outer vents when in the heat mode. Also would output warm air from the A/C vents when in heating mode. Also at times the system would set the temperature setting on its own."

"In dual mode even if set on the same temperature the air coming out of the vents is different temperature. The system also blows a lot of air rather than colder or hotter air."

"For a while air would only come out of the dash in a particular configuration of settings that was unfamiliar. Before I could take it in the situation reverted back to expected behavior. No idea if it was something I did or a malfunction."

"No heat for over 10 minutes of driving from cold. Engine at operating temperature. Audi still trying to find the problem"

"Heat failed to work on several occasions during the winter. The fan worked, just no heat. This was an intermittent problem and has not happened again for several months. I did not take it in when it happened due to scheduling issues."

"Heater blew lukewarm while vehicle was moving, blew cold while vehicle was stopped. Q5 was in the shop, under warranty, for 23 days to resolve the issue with the wiring harness."

"Evaporator under the dash had a freon leak. To replace the evaporator, the windshield, dash, seats, part of headliner, radio, and several other parts had to be removed and reinstalled."

"Pinched compressor line"

"A/C stopped working. Audi took 2 weeks to find and fix leak caused by a faulty evaporator."
