Complaint
2010
SUSPENSION:FRONT
AUDI A5 - 2010 MODELS. THESE CARS COME WITH FAULTY LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS WHICH RESULTS IN SHAKING IN DRIVING FROM 60MPH TO 70MPH. I JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW CAR YESTERDAY TO BE EXACT, THE ENTIRE DRIVE HOME THE CAR SHOOK VIOLENTLY, THIS TYPE OF SHAKING CAN AND WILL CAUSE ACCIDENTS, A FULL FAILURE OF CONTROL ARMS WILL RESULT IN DEATH. AUDI HAS NOT CONDUCTED A MASS RECALL AS OF YET, I BELIEVE THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FEW DEATHS AND A MASS PROTESTS AND INTERVENTION FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BEFORE DOING SOMETHING.

STEERING
2010 AUDI A5 - THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY CAUSING CAR TO SHIFT FROM LANES AND DRIVE TO LOSE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE IS UNSTABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO POORLY MANUFACTURED CONTROL ARMS AND THE DEALER/MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RAISED SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS. NEITHER AUDI NOR THE DEALERSHIPS BOTH AWARE OF THE PROBLEM REFUSE TO FIX IT DESPITE BEING UNDER WARRANTY AND DEMAND MONEY FOR REPAIRS WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND ARE A SIGNIFICANT THREAT TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY. IF CONTROL ARMS BREAK OR SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO CRASH OR GO OFF ROAD DEATH OR OTHER INJURIES MAY OCCUR. *TR
