“The Audi Q5 Premium Plus 2010 has a huge problem with the dashboard where it shows multiple dysfunctions! The worse is the back rear light and the steering wheels who makes awful noises, and so much more. I do not know why there is no recall for this model as they all have the same issues. Please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #11476179, filed 2022-07“Lh dipped lighting flickers off after about 1 min. It will not come back until the vehicle is restarted. Problem will reoccur as per above. It sounds like a common problem that should be repaired by the manufacturer.”
