What are common issues with the 2017 Audi SQ5 model?

So, been hearing some things about the 2017 Audi SQ5. Suspension feels iffy after a year or so, like it’s too stiff. Did you hear about the shift issues? Some say the transmission can be glitchy. And there’s talk about the navigation system being outdated, hard to update or install? My friend had the battery die on him a few times. Is that common with you? Fuel economy was way off too in my friend’s case. But were there any other quirks you noticed? And isn’t the leather sometimes cracking? Just curious how your experiences stack up.

I had a 2017 Audi SQ5 in Cali, had issues with the fuel econ—checked it. Suspension feels kinda wonky after hitting bumps too hard. Advice? Service ASAP. Really miss that throttle response though!

I’ve got a buddy in Toronto who owns a 2017 Audi SQ5; he’s been havin’ some real headaches with it. Main issue’s the transmission acting up, like it’s got a mind of its own, shifting at odd times.

I’ve got an Audi SQ5 from '17 and it’s been mostly chill, but I’ve had some issues up here in Toronto. Battery felt like it hit the hay too quick, plus the AC’s been on the fritz during hot days.

Had some battery gremlins and the TCS light was on more than it should’ve been. A pal had similar issues with his in the States, especially with the touchscreen freezing up occasionally. Still, the car’s got swagger, can’t argue with that! Fix those bugs, though, Audi!

I’ve owned an '17 Audi SQ5 for a couple years in Toronto. Noticed some weird engine issues a couple times—felt like it hesitated at red lights.

Not always reliable for road trips across Ontario—got a bit more peeved but it’s still a beast on the streets!

Lived in Toronto with my 2017 Audi SQ5, and boy, had it issues! Battery died twice in first year, left me stranded. Had to swap tires early 'cause wear and tear was crazy fast.
