   Rear Suspension cross- member. Extensive corrosion hidden behind stone guard trapping dirt and moisture. I would not have known the rust was there if the stone guard had not come apart from the cross member I cannot trust the safety of this vehicle until it is repaired Audi requires a dealer inspection at the cost of the consumer. Audi Suspension cross member components are the same for many models. The Allroad should be included in the class action lawsuit.

   WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS ON MY AUDI IT TAKES A WHILE TO GO IT FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER IT ALSO HAS BEEN SHAKING REALLY BAD ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL. IT HAS A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE THAT SOUNDS LIKE WHEN YOUR RIDING A BIKE ALL THESE PROBLEMS ARE WHILE IT'S IN MOTION IN BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. THE FASTER I GO IN THE VEHICLE THE MORE IT SHAKES AND THE MORE I HEAR THE NOISE AS WELL.
