During a recent inspection at Audi Chantilly (Virginia), the service department inspected cracked upper control arm bushings in the front suspension that were noted during a recent service to install new tires and perform an alignment (see attached photos. There is cracking and what appears to be some type of fluid leakage). The dealership denied warranty coverage, claiming these are merely "cosmetic stress cracks."

Both myself and passenger thought we had been hit from behind due to the amount of force and both had neck pain afterwards. Only 3 days later, nearly the exact same thing occurred. I was in far left turn lane but this time a car was behind me also wanting to turn. When proceeding to turn, the brakes were slammed on. I don't recall seeing the presense
