Engine recalls for the 2024 Audi Q5
Engine complaints
The dash board lights all came on, windows rolled down, car could not be controlled and couldn't put the gear in park. After further research on the internet, I found that there was a recall on 288,000 Q 5s in 2021 because of this issue. Dealer said the "gateway system" that controls all the communication died and they had to replace it. I think the 2021 issue is not completely resolved.
