I purchased a certified preowned audi q5 last march 2013. The vehicle was running fine. No problems or concerns. I took the vehicle to an audi dealer in february 2014 for an annual service and also in march 2014 for my yearly inspection/emissions testing. On april 2014, I had loss the vehicle due to an unknown fire that had started in the car. Yes, my car was engulfed in fire! Prior to this fire, I had no problems or messages on my dashboard or smelled smoke while I had drove the car. The car was running fine up until that day. I have no idea what happened to my vehicle. The insurance company had investigated this vehicle, and they stated that arson was not the blame for the fire. They r/o an electrical issue that might of been the cause of the fire. The insurance company had also researched recalls and manufacturer defects, and they claimed there were no issues. I am completely stunned about this incident. The car was parked all day, and I just can't believe out of nowhere that the car had caught on fire. I've been in contact with the dealer where I purchased the vehicle, and they are as shocked as I am about what happen. Hopefully, I'll get an explanation as to why the vehicle had mysteriously caught on fire.

While taking a left turn across traffic, the audi q5 3.2 transmission failed while shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. The audi q5 stopped and would not continue to drive. The engine seemed to be working properly; however, the gears would not engage and the car would not drive. The audi q5 displayed an error message "gearbox malfunction; you can continue driving (limited functionality)". After repeatedly restarting the audi q5 and attempting to shift the transmission it eventaully engaged the gears allowing the car to be driven out of traffic.
