2015 Audi A5 Problems, complaints & recalls

After purchasing the vehicle on 8/2/25, I discovered it had outstanding safety recalls that were neither addressed nor disclosed by the dealership at the time of sale. I have since taken steps to fix these safety issues, but the dealer's failure to inform me or resolve the recalls before the sale put me at unnecessary risk. I urge the NHTSA to review the dealership's records from 8/2/25 to hold them accountable for selling a vehicle with unresolved safety defects that compromised my safety. It is not allowing me to add case card with report, only case card available as of today.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.

The water pump system is leaking, and also the after water pump is malfunctioning. I was in danger when driving and the "turn off engine and check coolant levels" warning light message turned on. The engine was very hot and I was at risk of a fire. The issue has been confirmed by an auto repair shop for audis, that was close to me. They sent me a detailed diagnostic. I also have a recall letter for the water pump, that I got in the mail a few days ago, so I'm looking to be paid the cost of this repairs. Thank you

Low profile tires on audi a5 cab are not designed robust enough to handle road. It has been a nightmare with excessive tire and wheel damage. I do not recommend you purchase this car. Audi will blame the roads and the driver. These are not normal incidents. Four flat tires and three damaged wheels in less than 15 months. Safety becomes an issue with excessive failure. Vibration and road instability will occur as the easily damaged wheels cannot handle the roads

I'd like to point out that regular lights on this (and many other latest german vehicles) are overly bright, in excess of the regular high beams, and blinding to the oncoming traffic
