Example complaints

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

“I have a 2018 Audi Q5. The electrical system basically went into complete failure, and upon taking it to the dealership, was told the sunroof draining system clogged and the flooding caused by this caused the damage. After significant research online, I have noted this seems to be a very well-known issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11565118, filed 2024-01

“Steering rack completely failed while driving. Causing steering to become unusable nearly causing a wreck putting everyone on the road at risk. Vehicle has less 80k miles and is driven occasionally. This was an issue on early models and seems to not have been fully fixed on this model either. Warning lamps require vehicle to pullover and stop.”
