2010 Audi Q5 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	827757
Internal NHTSA #	10366212
Manufacurer	VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC
Brand	AUDI
Model	Q5
Model Year	2010
File date	14/11/10
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Vehicle was sitting overnight in sub freezing temperatures (approx 30 degrees f). Started the vehicle and drove the vehicle for approximately 15 minutes when all of a sudden the blower motor was no longer blowing hot air into the interior of the car, and soon the low coolant light flashed. I pulled over quickly, opened the hood and saw that there was coolant spread through out the engine bay due to the water pump failing. I was no longer able to drive the vehicle. This seems to be a common issue with this particular engine in this vehicle. Audi seems to be aware of the issue, and is replacing some water pump's prior to them failing, and not replacing others. I contacted 2 separate audi service centers in an attempt to have my water pump replaced as i was about to travel to canada with the car for a vacation and did not want to be stranded. Both times i was told there was no issue. Obviously there is. Such a high rate of failure for such an important engine component cannot be tolerated, especially when failures are occurring on engines with such low mileage. A recall should be issued to correct this issue. Fortunately the failure occurred in a large city where i had access to an audi service center. If it occurred while i was in transit to my destination i may have been in a remote location where i could not easily receive help in a timely manner, putting my life in risk, especially during the winter season.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
