My short list:

1. Engine "clunk" or "lurch" when rolling to a stop (appears to clear up after more miles).
2. MMI screen blanking out (apparently can be reset).
3. DRL Headlight not functioning/going out.
4. Trunk motor problems.
5. After a heavy rain or car wash, water remains between body and trunk as well as inside gas cap.
6. Rear seat latch not functioning properly.
7. Too much brake dust.
8. Metallic buzz (appears to be fuel pipeline vibrating and touching the fuel tank).
9. The reflection/glar from chrome trim when looking at side reviewed mirrors.

1. Rear seat latch not functioning properly.

Still not fixed, waiting for part from Germany

2. A/C does not seem to cool down the car in 3 digit heat (my Lexus use to just fine)

I think MY2010 still have those problems cause Q5 has been lauched in Europe for a while before they went to North America.

The small net umbrella holder in the passenger footwell blew apart the first time I tried putting a tiny umbrella in it. The dealer supposedly ordered the part for it. Impossible to put back together correctly. I would rather Audi include the small multipurpose bag optional in Eurospec Q5's for that area.

Are these problems on your car or a short list of what you have read?
Where are you and what model of Q5 are you referring to?
I dont mean to be rude but I have read all 42 of your posts to date and they mainly consist of questions or comments on links so I have the impression that you do not actually have a Q5 at present.
I also am compiling a list of faults (which is slightly different) under the headings of Electrical, body and mechanical. The main diffference is I will not put in complaints, dislikes or opinions as faults so quite often I have to wait for an outcome to be posted.
