The contact owns a 2017 Audi SQ5. The contact stated there was excessive heat coming from the engine. Additionally, there was moisture on the water pump.

Steering · at 51,000 miles · reported Apr 18, 2021
The steering system froze during operation. Sensors indicated car is not safe to drive. There was heavy rain storm prior to the failure which allowed water into steering rack module. This is a reoccurring problem with audi sq5 based on my research after incident. My concern this system failure could have caused a catastrophic accident if failure occurred during high speeds and high traffic. Also, the car had its regular maintenance a few week prior to incident.
Vehicle Speed Control · at 24,000 miles · reported Nov 13, 2019
Tl the contact's wife owns a 2017 audi sq5. While pulling into a parking space, the vehicle suddenly accelerated without warning. The vehicle struck the concrete holding the street light in front of the parking space. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and dealer were not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 24,000.
Visibility/Wiper · at 300 miles · reported Nov 3, 2016
Drivers view is largely obstructed (You could lose sight of a crowd of people) by the outside mirrors. This is an obvious danger to all pedesatrians crossing in front of this vehicle that is turning left. And also affects the view on the right side. I unfortunately experienced a low speed crash directly related to this issue.
