2014 AUDI Q5 — Complaint #1557755
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE filed April 14, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1557755 (ODI reference 11196086) concerns a 2014 AUDI Q5 and was filed on April 14, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 10, 2019. The report was geocoded to North Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same AUDI Q5 cohort independently describe similar engine failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2014 AUDI Q5 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
UNDER RECALL 18V229000 (AUDI RECALL 19N4) MY VEHICLE HAD THE POWER TO THE AFTER-MOTOR PUMP DISCONNECTED IN OCT. '18. INSTRUCTIONS PER THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE DEALER WAS THAT REPLACEMENT PUMPS WOULD BE INSTALLED AS THEY BECAME AVAILABLE IN EARLY '19. AFTER NOT RECEIVING ANY NOTICE FROM AUDI THIS SPRING, I CALLED THE DEALER TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT PUMPS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT "AUDI DECIDED NOT TO REPLACE THE PUMPS AFTER ALL". YOUR SITE CURRENTLY SHOWS THAT MY SPECIFIC VIN IS CLEAR OF ANY RECALLS, SUGGESTING THAT THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE WAS MODIFIED IN SOME MANNER TO NO LONGER SHOW THAT THE PUMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AFTER ALL. YET MY VEHICLE IS SHOWING-UP ON WEBSITES LIKE CARFAX AND AUTOCHECK AS STILL HAVING AN OUTSTANDING RECALL DUE. SO I NEED CONFIRMATION OF EITHER 1) AUDI IS STILL REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE PUMPS AS THEY AGREED TO IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL, OR 2) THEY HAVE BEEN RELIEVED OF THAT REQUIREMENT AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS TRULY CLEARED OF ANY
