1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2011 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 04/14/2017

My Audi Q5 2011 check engine and epc light continue to light up my dash, vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealership not once not twice but more than three times. Continues to have the same and similar misfires and actually seems to be getting hotter than usual, the engine. I've seen several complaints about recalls on the coolant pump,timing chain, fuel pump flange, fuel pump, wiring sensors, epc light ball joints, and the list goes on. What has me mostly concern is the recalls for all the fuel system components. For example emission control devices like the egr fuel cap fuel gauge sender, feel injection system fuel leaks stalling and hesitation , have you been seeing one or actually a couple where a fire was initiated while people were in the car . This is a huge safety concern for me and my family who drives the car practically every day it seems that even door car is out of warranty Audi should be responsible for all these repairs and recalls and and make it right on their part . If we would've known this car was going to give us that much trouble after buying it from a certified dealer, we would've never even thought or imagined of driving a lemon . After this unfortunate experience and still ongoing one, and the way Audi really doesn't take in consideration the safety of its clientele, or its families, I will never take in consideration of buying another Audi in my life .

2 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2010 Audi Q5

Failure Date: 11/14/2010

Vehicle was sitting overnight in sub freezing temperatures (approx 30 degrees f). Started the vehicle and drove the vehicle for approximately 15 minutes when all of a sudden the blower motor was no longer blowing hot air into the interior of the car, and soon the low coolant light flashed. I pulled over quickly, opened the hood and saw that there was coolant spread through out the engine bay due to the water pump failing. I was no longer able to drive the vehicle. This seems to be a common issue with this particular engine in this vehicle. Audi seems to be aware of the issue, and is replacing some water pump's prior to them failing, and not replacing others. I contacted 2 separate Audi service centers in an attempt to have my water pump replaced as I was about to travel to canada with the car for a vacation and did not want to be stranded. Both times I was told there was no issue. Obviously there is. Such a high rate of failure for such an important engine component cannot be tolerated, especially when failures are occurring on engines with such low mileage. A recall should be issued to correct this issue. Fortunately the failure occurred in a large city where I had access to an Audi service center. If it occurred while I was in transit to my destination I may have been in a remote location where I could not easily receive help in a timely manner, putting my life in risk, especially during the winter season. .
