2015 Audi Q5 Owner Comments

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I've reported multiple times to my dealer about the oil comsumption back in 2022 and work was performed on the vehicle in the prior year to fix leak and brake noise issue since approx 2021 on my 2015 Q5 that currently only has 65,000 miles. No warning indicator presents regarding the brakes. However oil indicator and engine light icons display. I'm constantly checking the oil indicator level to see how much is still in the and then add add once it shows thats its extremly low. I have to do this everytime I am about to use the car. This can be dangerous at times since there's no indication that its very low and its not seen unless you go into the "car" section that shows the level, it has no alert display for the level. All required diagnostic and maintenance services have been performed with the dealer. When inspecting the brake issue they always come back with no findings say that no issue could be found, howeve when I'm driving it, it sqeeks and makes a grinding sound all the time. This has been going on for quite a few years. As for the oil consumption issue, this isssue has been in recent years and both times this has been looked into by the dealer I was informed that its not covered under any manufacturers warranty and would cost me approx. $10,000 for them to repair it or I could trade it in. This is a very expensive luxury car and at this low milage shouldn't have these types of issue. I've seen on various car sites that both the oil comsumption and piston issue is a known issue with this model Audi and that issue occurs aournd 60,000 miles but was rectified for the models that came after 2015. I wish I had know this before making this purchase. Now the driver seat adjusting panel is broken, this came out of no where about four weeks ago with no warning. I haven't received any recall notifications since my Audi Care coverage expired, not sure why this would stop because I didn't continue this service.

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.
