After audi repair the secondary water pump due to recall months later car thermostat running hot and audi states main water pump leaking
The vehicle was in motion on a highway with my panoramic moonroof open completely. i was traveling in a safe speed, no speed bumps or pot holes, no underpasses, and no traffic when suddenly my moonroof glass popped and shattered everywhere. next thing i know, i am getting a face full of glass and my entire back seat is covered in glass. i have sustained micro scratches from the broken glass all over my car and it was undriveable as i feared all the glass continuing to fly in my face. thank god i was alone. i have done my research and realized that this is a recognizable safety concern with my vehicle make and model around the world, but audi will not recognize as a safety recall issue. i'm just glad my moonroof was not closed and above my head as i probably could have been badly cut and thank god i had no passengers like i normally do and prevented those injuries as well. my car is now sitting covered in glass as if i was in a horrendous car accident waiting for the manufacture to repair the issue.
The push to start button material is flaking off and the sharp edges left cut my finger repeatedly. service to replace button is $200+.
The def pump is bad on my audi q5 with 65k on it. the tech at the dealer reported that these pumps all seem to go on these tdis around the same mileage. i find it objectionable to have to pay $1,445 to replace a pump on a vehicle that doesn't meet current emission requirements.
