What owners wrote
This is brand new audi q5 I purchased roughly a month earlier. While driving on the freeway, multiple cars began honking and waving at us. I pulled off the freeway and was notified that black some was appearing from the rear of the vehicle. I notified the manufacturer of the issue and they towed the car to the nearest dealership for service. The service crew did confirm an issue with the engine. A weep hole was found on side of transmissions that was leaking oil which caused black smoke to appear from the engine.
The contact owns a 2014 Audi Q5. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle briefly lost motive power and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the daughter's residence. The contact stated that weeks before the failure, while the vehicle was being serviced at the dealer, it was determined that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired.
