At the stationary my steering is very stiff, and is very hard to turn it. I almost hit the parked car and the person standing next to it when I was pulling out from the parking lot. Also the dealership diagnostic is that the steering shaft is has the tendency to seize up and look and is very dangers. I have contacted the Audi usa and they say is not their problem and they won't take any actions to fix this. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one who complains about this. Audi is aware of the issue and according to the complaines on Q5 they improved the steering shafts, but don't won't to take care of the previous known issue to them. I am very concerned about safety of the surroundings and for my family safety driving this vehicle, according to them when I report the issue they say that I don't have strong case.
