The issue is a design and manufacturer defect that has allowed rainwater to leak into the rear side compartments destroying sensitive electronics & wiring, from faulty/kinked drain lines in the sunroof (according to the Audi Technician from my local Audi store), rendering the vehicle undrivable. It was obvious, repeatable, and avoidable.  Worse this issue was misdiagnosed by the same Audi store, causing extra parts & labor expenses that didn't solve anything.  It took my AUDI store OVER a MONTH to diagnose the issue correctly.  There were also significant investigative/diagnostic charges from my Audi Dealership.  There were also significant repair expenses to replace all water-logged equipment, including the Electronics Control Unit (ECU).  This should be a clear recall item.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2018","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q5","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
