Front Suspension Control Arm problem #1

Audi Q5 94,000. I will never never buy Audi vehicle again. First started with oil leak, replaced valve cover gasket, then hood latch sensor (german genius). How in the world this bad sensor measures oil level. Rack and pinion leak, then timing cover gasket leak. Then my mechanic replaced driver side upper control arm. Now rear shock is bad. Already spent over $3000 fine, the worst issue I have is traction control light. The dealer (stealer) gave me estimate of $1700 to fix this. The last serious one on 12/23/20 while driving with 2 more passengers on busy are in houston near med. Center, car engine lost power, shaking violently, then I drove very slowly at around 30 mph. This is Audi Q5 is nightmare. Nhtsa please do something, make Audi settle these issues. Thank you.

Suspension problem #2

Rear subframe rust causing car to fail state inspection. This vehicle has been maintained well and always parked in garage. The rear subframe rusted most, then front subframe. This is a common compliant among Audi forum users.
