| Description of the problem | While driving my front panel sunroof exploded. There is no other way to describe what happened. There was a loud pop. Loud enough to make my ears ring and then the glass was everywhere. I noticed a recall for this exact issue on the 2012 audi q5. I am driving a 2015 audi q5. There is no recall listed specifically for this issue on the 2015 model. A separate sunroof recall for drainage is listed, but not one for shattering sunroofs. My local audi dealership didn't seem to concerned when i spoke with them... |
