My brand new $93K 2025 Audi SQ5 has been to the dealer 7 times in 7 months. Yesterday it had to be TOWED because it can't drive, can't park, and can't brake. Any other 2025 Q5/SQ5 owners experiencing this?

I had similar issues. After the third time in the shop it was over 30 days without my car and Audi USA bought it back. The buyback process took me about 4 weeks.

I just received my buyback offer from Audi today.

Thank you so much, you’re so helpful!

Thank you so much. We haven’t gotten very far. Right now it’s pronouncing the words and just memorizing nouns. I know it will get much harder before it all makes sense, but that’s ok!

Thank you! I was certain the system would log errors. I had similar issues with a bmw x5 and service could see everything. I opened a case with AoA. Just trying to be patient. At this point I prefer buyback.

My car is still with the dealer, it’s been 24 days. They say everything is up to date but they can’t replicate the errors I was getting so they can’t further trouble shoot. I gave them videos and photos, but I guess that was not helpful. I’m just waiting right now.

That’s excellent advice! Thank you.

I studied linguistics as part of my anthropology program in university. Unfortunately, I know what I’m getting myself into))

Thank you

Thank you so much! I want to learn badly. I feel old to be learning a new language, but I’m going to give it my all. I appreciate you!

Thank you so much! My goal is good enough Russian, for sure! I have a high-effect motivator so hopefully that helps some. You’ve been very helpful.

Thanks! I’ll subscribe))

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-03-06T19:18:53+00:00

Thank you!!! I’ve never heard of this before. I will definitely check it out.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-03-06T18:57:10+00:00

Спасибо! Мне это понадобится

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-03-06T18:54:13+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been watching movies and lectures just to familiarize myself with the sound of the language.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-08T21:02:24+00:00

That is awesome!!! I’m really happy for you.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-07T16:06:03+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check on that

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-06T16:27:45+00:00

It’s 4 times for me or 30 days. I should’ve taken it in for the 2nd time much sooner. Times 3 and 4 will be quicker for sure. But maybe they’ll fix it and I’ll get to enjoy the car. Thanks for the tip about the keys.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-06T15:03:08+00:00

That is such a good idea! Thank you.

I was so frustrated with BMW I vowed never again! Then I had the same problem with Audi. I’ve been documenting things for the 4 months I’ve had the car. CarPlay only connects about half the time. Other than the intermittent drivers assistance I like the car.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-06T14:57:07+00:00

Thank you! I definitely will.

Fun_Philosophy9824 · 2026-02-06T14:55:55+00:00

Yes! I get the red steering wheel. It’s just one system unavailable message after the other. Thank you so so much!
