Q5 2011 Brake issue

lisapaz · 11-03-2010, 11:43 AM

Has anyone with the 2011 model had a problem with the brakes? I've just brought it back to the dealer and they have to order parts and said the car cannot be driven. I've only had it two months. It was a clicking sound and feeling when I was applying the brakes at slower speeds. Almost felt like they would stick at times also.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

I've had my Q5 for ~1 year. No brake issues.

2011 here too. No problems either... Hope they get it fixed soon. Do you know what the root cause was?

Not a issue with mine. Would be interesting to see what parts they had to order and did not have on hand.

I'll find out tomorrow what the problem was and what parts they had to order. Hoping it was something simple. Will post when I find out.

I was in a rush when I picked up the car. The girl that checked me out had no idea what was wrong but just read what the parts were that were ordered. I was not explained what exactly happened. I was explained however to answer yes to all the questions on the survey that would be sent to me!
From my receipt:
Parts ordered wishbone, bolt, nut.

This is more of a suspension part - or at least maybe a bracket for the brakes?

I have a 2010 and just noticed a grinding noise/feel when braking at slow speeds. Anyone else?
