2 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2018 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 01/11/2024

I have a 2018 Audi Q5. The electrical system basically went into complete failure, and upon taking it to the dealership, was told the sunroof draining system "clogged" and the flooding caused by this caused the damage. After significant research online, I have noted this seems to be a very well-known issue.

3 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2016 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 03/01/2023

The side assist went out and I had it replaced at the dealership. I paid out of pocket for this cost. The engine had been burning oil then started causing problems while driving prompting me to take into the dealership. I was informed that the engine is in backorder and it’s been a year since I’ve been waiting. I purchased the car used with around 79,000 miles on it around February 2023.

We have looked at so many aidi's, at other dealers, before this, and because of the pandemic they were very short on stock. . My last three SUV's always had all the safety equipment. The issue here is they didn't tell show us the window sticker and it was not a round. Us about the missing safety equipment, we have had this vehicle about 6 months and it is very unsafe to drive. We have had several close calls, due to the missing safety equipment. I tried to get to get Audi America and the dealer to add the missing safety equipment. Including . It is standard on all premium plus modeds side assist (blind spot) rear cross traffic adaptive cruise control it's also missing the. . . . . Phone box, toll module, and power steering column. I found out later after they emailed the widow sticker that they took off about $1500 from the price of the car. I would be happy today if the added the missing modules, and safety equipment.

7 Blind Spot Detection problem of the 2014 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 04/01/2022

I am reporting Audi side assist system fault. Audi assist among other things provides blind spot warning and is major safety feature in the car. Basically when I am switching lanes on, I get existance of car in blind spot. When driving in January I received warning message that said Audi side assist system fault. I scheduled service for Feb 3 and the car was repaired by Feb 4. Originally they suspected accident or repair work done around the back bumper. Later they realized that none was done and fixed the issue by "alignment". During that work they found out that the two assist modules have different versions which is surprising since all my service was done at Audi san jose dealership and never repaired that function. This means that my car original parts has version mismatch. The function worked ok for several weeks but failed again on April 1. I still did not repair it but I am scheduled on may 10 (earliest date). The fault is still on!.
