Used 2011 Audi Q5 2.0T Premium quattro 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A) Consumer Reviews
Disappointed
Bought a Q5 in 2010 August. While this is a great car to drive, problems with the oil consumption ( it is a major irritant) and brake pads ( I have done 47 K miles) and have them elaced twice. What is truly disappointing with Audi is the way the company and dealership have washed their hands of these issues. I used to own a BMW before shifting to an Audi, but this is definitely the last Audi I would ever buy
Audi is not the "Truth in Engineering"
I have had my Audi Q5 in the Audi service department 4 times over the last 6 months. This time it broke down on me 2 weeks after Audi stated it was fixed. Well, now they are telling me I need a new engine at the cost of $14,700. They will not take responsibility for their mistakes or mis-diagnosis. They said that is was a cracked head and that Audi does not issue replacement parts. It has to be a complete new engine. Not only has my car been in the service department for 2 months, Audi had the mechanic remove the cover and look a bit further. I did not authorize anything to be done. They still have my car and now have told me that they will not help with their mistakes. Now I have no car and no answers. The oil consumption is another issue all together. 1 quart per 750 miles. I spent more money on oil than gas. But as always, they say its normal. The airbags in my Q5 are on the recall list. Audi however, will not issue a recall. They have left us hanging and has put mine and my families life in danger. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do your research before purchasing any Audi product! UPDATE: we have the audi towed to a private mechanic that said it was the timing chain tensioners and if that were fixed my car would run. Per audi the engine is blown. These people are crooks.

oil consumption
Much the same problem thatother people have complained about I was told it needed new pistons and rings to correct the problem at a cost of $4523.00. This is on a vehicle with 82,000 miles on it After reading some of the other reviews and asking Audi to help with the cost, they refused. I have read the problem is with the 2.0 L engines, it seems to me with this many complaints about the same problem Audi would issue a recall to fix the problem, BUT NO!!! The ironic part of this is I have owned an A6 and a TT with no issues, I will not buy another Audi.

Worst car I've ever owned
I'm just going to make this simple. I purchased the car with 56k miles, 1 owner, no accidents. Towed 12 times in 6 months. $2200. Catastrophic engine failure $5000. 3 Injectors failed $1200. Drain plugs clogged flooding interior $900. 1 quart of oil every 150 miles. All 4 ignition coils failed twice $500. Spark plugs changed twice $150. Terrible wind noise. Squeak from sunroof is irritating. Owned this thing for 6 months. Never purchasing another audi ever again. By far the most unreasonable car I have ever owned.

Disappointed Beyond Belief
After purchasing 4 Audi's from the same dealership I am at a loss for words. We bought an extended warranty to 100,000 miles. We had ongoing issues with oil and at 82,000 miles the pistons were replaced. At 103,000 they now tell us, after all services were performed at the dealership,there is a problem with the engine compression. They say it is our problem. Wow, I spent over $42,000 on a car that now will require a new engine and is over the warranty by 3,000 miles. I thought Audi was a premium brand that stood behind its product and appreciated a loyal customer. I guess 4 car purchases does not count for much these days. I don't think I'll be buying nor recommending Audi ever again
