2015 Audi Q5 Engine Problems

“I have been dealing with an oil consumption issue on my 2015 Audi Q5 for a good part of this year. I service my vehicle regularly and oil consumption had never been an issue until the engine light came on in march. I live in fl during the winter months so I took the vehicle to Audi of melbourne on march 12, 2020, odometer reading 75,755. At that time, they completed part 1 of an oil consumption test and informed me to return the vehicle if the engine light came on or I drove 1,000 miles. …”

“The add oil light on my vehicle started to come on as I was driving. Initially it was requiring oil added in between service appointments. I mentioned it at time of service and I was told this was normal at the dealership where I had all of the service on this vehicle done.

The service advisor at the dealer said there's nothing can be done. This is a safety concern because I'm afraid the car will eventually stop in the middle of the road, lose control or cause a crash.”

“While in motion on a dark country road in vt, my 2015 Audi Q5 car with just 61,000 miles on it started to make a loud noise and became undrivable. The driver sat on the road and waited for roadside assistance and a tow truck to take the car to the nearest Audi dealer, which was 40 miles away. Several days later, Audi drained the oil in the engine and found metal shavings.
