general problems of the 2013 Audi Q5

The vehicle oil level low light comes on every 600 miles (excessive oil consumption). I purchased the vehicle in July 2021, and in 2 weeks I had an oil-level light. I called Audi regarding the condition, they talked with the dealership regarding the issue and came back in 2 weeks and stated that the recall was up to 2011. I would like Audi to pay to repair my vehicle, because is a known problem which should have been resolved. Oil change on 1/12/24; had to put oil in on 2/20/24.

Car started running hot, had mechanic do pressure/ leak test and he couldn’t find a leak. Took it to Audi and they said the coolant pump and thermostat housing were leaking coolant. I’ve researched and it looks like these cars have know coolant pump issues.

The contact owns a 2013 Audi Q5. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing an abnormal oil consumption. The low oil pressure warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she had been adding a quart of oil to the vehicle every 200 miles driven. The dealer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

Car was telling me to add 1 qt of oil about every 1500-2000 miles, even after a recent oil change. So I took it to the place I purchased the car from and they replaced the timing chain gasket thing. About a week later the same issue came back. So I took it to Audi to have the same thing replaced. And about a month later the issue came back. Took it back to Audi and they said now the engine speed sensor seal is leaking oil. I’ve did some research and I’ve found that there is a manufacturing engine defect that causes this reoccurring issue and most Q5 owners have stopped spending money on repairs and just tops off the oil when asked.

The coolant system on this car was repaired by santa monica Audi in Jan 2020. Less than three years later he the coolant is leaking again with dangerously low level of coolant in the engine. This is a real safety hazard and could lead to a fire or engine overheating this is compounded by Audi santa monica charging $310 to simply perform a visual inspection which confirmed the water pump and thermostat needs replacing. Even though it’s related to the earlier coolant pump recall, the burden is on the consumer to pay and the elevated safety risk remains.

My Audi uses 1 quart of oil every 300 miles. The dealership wants to charge to find the problem. Audi should fix the problem at no charge. I bought the vehicle in February 2023. Was told there were no issues with the car.

This car should be included in the NHTSA campaign number: 18v229000. Having the same issues as owners of other Audi Q5 have reported. While driving the pull over and check coolant message appears each time in vehicle. Coolant was leaking. The coolant is leaking onto the ground while refilling the reservoir but not coming from the reservoir.

Coolant pump became blocked in my 3. 0 engine vehicle, causing it to overheat. This may be a similar problem to the 2. 0 vehicle, for which there have already been 2 recalls. My air conditioner started blowing fuses repeatedly (daily to weekly) last year and the mechanic thinks it may be a related issue.

My daughter drove her car to hobby lobby in opelika, al. After being in the store for about 7 minutes they announced over the intercom for the owner of a black Audi to come to the front. They told her that her car was on fire. She went outside and black smoke and fire was coming from the hood. A lady had already called 911. While waiting, flames started coming from the bottom of the car. The police arrived and started trying to put the fire out, then firefighters arrived and put the fire out. After the fire was put out, the car kept trying to start itself so they had to locate the battery to disconnect it. Luckily the firefighters were a few stores down and was able to get to it quick. The car is available for inspection and we feel that this is some type of malfunction that we shouldn't be responsible for. A fire is very dangerous and could have hurt or killed my daughter if it had caught fire with her in it and also it catching fire around other cars that put others in danger or if it would have been at night at home under our carport and ended up catching our house on fire! the car has not been inspected by anyone. We didn't have full coverage insurance since I had just changed our policy since where I worked closed down so in the meantime of going from full coverage insurance to liability for a month and a half, this happened. So now we don't really know what to do, as we feel this isn't something we should have to pay for. We feel that Audi should be responsible for this malfunction/defect. No warnings and we have our vehicles maintenanced regularly.

The engine pistons are defective and consume an excessive amount of oil. This has been confirmed through the manufacturer's own prescribed testing of the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle is not drivable due to the safety risks include sudden engine breakdown while driving.

The recalls were not completed and the dealership is charging for recall work.

I took my vehicle to Audi south austin on 6/1/22 regarding my a/c and back up camera not working, continuous oil consumption issue, passenger air bag light turning on, and rpm higher than normal while idling. Christina turner told me that the wait for my car to be service was 3-4 weeks. She quoted me a price of $275 for each diagnostic test. I mentioned a recall regarding the auxiliary heater and she told me that the recall had previously been completed. I asked her if there was a warranty and she mentioned that it was 12 months/ 12,000 miles and that my vehicle was over that time frame. I have took my vehicle serval times to Audi south austin regarding the oil and coolant consumption. The first service was on 12/5/20regarding an oil change, multi point inspection, and coolant topped off. I was told if I had any issues with the oil or coolant consumption to let them know. I took my vehicle to Audi north austin on 2/8/21 regarding my coolant and oil consumption. The told me that I had an oil and coolant leak. When I mentioned the recall of the coolant pump, they told me that the oil leak caused the coolant leak and wouldn’t be covered. I notified Audi south austin regarding the issues and asked them why they didn’t notice the oil leak during the oil change and inspection. They told me that they would do the recall issue and charge me approximately $5,000 for the oil leak. After showing them the invoice from Audi north of the oil charge being approximately $1,500, they offered the same amount. I have returned to Audi south austin regarding the oil consumption and oil marks on the side of my car and they technician tells me that it’s normal for my make and model to consume oil and that I would just have to add oil. I’m worried that there is an electrical issue regarding the auxiliary recall and could catch fire while I’m driving. I also have 2 children and it’s difficult driving in 96 degrees weather without a/c and having to wait 3-4 weeks.

I got my car as used from a dealer, it had 92,000 miles on it. Once I drove it for 2 days it showed that I need to add a quart of oil although the dealer said they had an oil change. The changed the oil again and 200 miles later again I got a message to add a quart of oil. And kept adding quarts every 200 miles. The Audi dealership said they ran the diagnostic for the previous owner and found that the pestons and rings need to be changed which cost $7,000. And said it's ok to drive it as long as I keep topping off the oil. Few weeks later I'm driving the car on the highway and it starts shaking and I can feel the engine struggling and losing acceleration. I towed it to the Audi dealer and few days later they said the compression test failed and that the 2nd cylinder has low pressure, and that I need to replace the engine for almost $14,000. They didn't say any reason for it, they said �we've seen it happen�. And when I asked that a $55k car is expected to last at least 200,000 miles and mine is 105,000 only, they said �not really�!! so now I have a $55k car that has only 105,000 miles on it and I need to pay $14k to fix it! how is that possible? there has to be a problem from Audi side that causes the engines to fail that early!!.

Car is consuming a lot of oil. Just had an oil change 3 weeks ago and I just had to put a quart of oil in my car. This is the second time this has happened in 4 months.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Audi Q5. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle vibrated violently without warning. The vehicle was taken to Audi norwell (59 pond st, norwell, MA 02061, (781) 261-5000) where it was diagnosed that a new engine block was needed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,100.

While driving 70 mph on interstate 68 the engine light went on followed by the epc light. The car lost some power and the car began to sputter. By reducing the car speed to 40 mph I was able to exit the highway and pull into a car repair facility in hagerstown, MD. I has the car towed back to the Audi dealer in tysons corner, va. It was determined that one of the four fuel injectors had failed which caused it to remain in the open position. The fuel injector was replaced. The service facility could not explain what might have caused the fuel injector to fail. They did test the other three fuel injectors and indicated they were fine. My car has approximately 57,000 miles on it and I am interested in learning whether you are aware of other fuel injector failures in this or other Audi vehicles.

Arrived at work. Within 10 minutes of arriving a coworker alerted my husband that his car was smoking. My husband went out to the car and there was smoke billowing from under the hood. He quickly opened the back door, grabbed his work issued laptop and by then it had burst into flames. This happened in March 1, 2017. We found online Audi was to release news to owners of a recall involving the coolant pump becoming blocked with debris and causing smoldering and possible fire. Well, there was definitely fire. The car is totaled- burned to a crisp. Fire department and police responded. The fire was put out and no one and no other property was damaged. Praise god it didn't happen in our garage!.
