Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The roof of my 2017 Audi Q5 is glass, and it makes a constant rattling noise while driving. I took it to the Audi service center to be serviced, and the sunroof frame along with all of the bolts were replaced in december 2019. As of today, the rattle is strongly present again. This issue is ongoing, and it is a major safety concern for me. The glass roof could literally shatter and result in a fatal injury. …”
