2 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2013 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 11/13/2018

41 days after purchasing well cared for, used Q5, began experiencing rough ride over highway stretch, with intermittent epc light and constant check engine light. Engine also revved at stand still and vibrated. Unknowing of current class action lawsuit involving the timing chain, took the vehicle to a local mechanic. Mechanic indicated the timing chain had been stretched beyond safe use and the timing chain and tension adjuster needed to be replaced ($2600). Following those repairs, I was informed that due to the damaged timing chain, the cam shaft was also not functioning correctly which required replacement as well as the camshaft positioning sensor. (new cost - $4900) following those repairs, the issue still remains. Mechanic believes the issue is now oil pressure leaving the cam shaft due to a likely issue with the non-return valve leaving the camshaft bridge. This pressure prevents proper function of the variable valve timing, causing a vibration and rough ride. Mechanic offered to replace non-return valve (additional $3000) but can't be confident that it will alleviate the problem. Additional option was to replace engine beginning at $7000. 00. Working with Audi service to schedule time to address previous recall issue (coolant pump) when they will take a look at the engine issue and explain options. Class action lawsuit opt-ins were due by 10/13/18, 11 days after I purchased the vehicle, 30 days before I began having issues.

3 Check Engine Light On problem of the 2011 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 04/04/2017

I am emailing this letter and hopefully someone will respond to my request of reopening my claim regarding my 2011 Audi Q5's recent and pattern like problems. Hopefully the reference number above shows my cars history and explains how it's all gotten to me addressing the problem again. Around that time was when we were having problems with the Audi service dept in chandler az, the fact that we were lied to by the supervisor when he stated that changing the wiring was part of the recall for the fuel pump and fuel flange, when in fact it was not. Two of the three main components for our fuel injection system have been replaced, the most important the fuel pump and the regulator, three times we took it back because they never got it right the first time. That is not including all the others things that have been changed, electrical system wiring, and major parts of the engine. Recently we took our Audi to the service dept in scottsdale az , for the recall of the air canister and also because it was beginning to smell like gas again and the check engine light turned on and trouble with the startup of our vehicle. Had it checked��out by a certified mechanic, which told me it was the alternator. I had just bought a brand new gel battery at autozone, didnt want the bad alternator to drain my new battery so since I knew it had been replaced before by Audi in chandler, I told the service advisor that it was bad, and if he could please check and replace. Before that I also had it rechecked at autozone and oriellys and they told me the same thing, bad alternator. . . . Hopefully you see where I'm getting at. I'm trying to be as detail as possible, so sorry for the length of this letter. To no surprise of mine the service advisor calls me back and tells me that my fuel injectors are going bad, whattt.
