2007 Audi Q7 owner complaints

My Audi q7 has a leak from the sunroof, which damaged the bose amp, because of that, the radio, backup camera, the whole mmi system is not working. Also for that reason the battery is not holding energy, the amp is draining the battery. This is an factory issue, I took the car to the dealer and was told it will cost over $4,000 to fix it. Audi of america should do a recall for this issue, water getting in contact with the electrical part of the car is a big hazard, it can start a fire or other parts of the electric system could malfunction, and could eventually lead to an accident. I'm not sure if this water leak damage the passenger airbag but I also getting a light for the airbag on the cluster.

While driving during a heavy rain, my radio started making a static like sound, and died, along with the navigation system. The following day I had a mechanic check the vehicle, and his findings was a leak into the electronic port thus creating water damage to amplifier - mmi systems. *tr

The mom screen went out. Which short out the amp and drains the battery.the mms system control the heat air . Radio, nav. Car setup. Telephone . And information center. . It will cost 2200.00 to replace a amp and not fix the problem. The water will back up and drain out onto the floor, which may cause electrical problems, Audi should replace this or fix this problem due to its seem its happening to all their cars with sunroofs. *tr

There is a fissure crack in oil tank located under the engine also fuel pump leak which causes the electronic control board to mishap also the trunk electric doors smashed my head a few times I have take the car to only authorized Audi mechanics.

There seems to be leaking from the sunroof that lets water into the amp. The leak goes into the amp and causes the battery to drain when sitting. This issue has been known by Audi for a while and have not done anything to recall these vehicles and fix the issue. The average cost to make the amp and roof repair is $4,500. Please look into this. Thank you.

I purchased a "fixd" device to determine any problems w/ my vehicle. I came upon this page and noted that there had been a recall of this vehicle back in sept. 2016. I purchased this vehicle from a dealer on november 19, 2016. In looking into recall notices associated w/ this VIN it stated that the recall was "incomplete." I am now reporting this as the recall should have been taken care of, especially by a dealer, before I even purchased it. I have had a number of problems with this vehicle right from the onset. Please, look into this for me. Thank you

Dear NHTSA team. My vehicle demonstrated a fuel smell in september 2020. I alerted Audi that I believed it was covered under either 20w9 or 20bj. They said it was not. I took it to a private repair shop that charged me $71 to diagnose the problem. The repair shop (team previously worked for Audi) shared that the problem was covered under a recall. I then took the car into the dealer and Audi fixed it under the recall. I sought reimbursement of my diagnosis fee of $71 for over three months. Audi failed to respond on multiple occasions when I first raised the issue, and later when I sought reimbursement. Finally, on 12/16/20 I was advised that Audi would not reimburse the diagnosis fee notwithstanding the repair was covered under the recall. They also allowed the unsafe situation t

Fuel line leak occurred during operation of the vehicle on 11/24/18. First a fuel smell was detected in the vehicle at a traffic light at washington rd and rt 1 (this smell was at first associated with a tanker truck refueling an adjacent service station), then on the highway engine knocking began to occur with a blinking check engine light when accelerating. Upon parking the vehicle, a pool of fuel was immediately detected below the engine block from fuel dripping off of the engine block. Upon opening the hood the engine block was covered with fuel - identified by touch and smell - additionally the insulation on the ceiling of the hood had a wet spot 1 ft sq darkened by saturation with fuel. Restarted the engine and noted fuel was spraying from the fuel pump towards the front of the veh

Large fuel leak in the engine compartment: while starting the vehicle in a parking lot, the engine was difficult to start but then started. The driver began to depart by backing out of the parking space, then a strong gasoline smell was present, as the two front windows were rolled down. The front passenger noticed liquid flowing out from under the front of the vehicle on the passenger side while the car moved forward by about 2-3 parking spaces. The driver immediately stopped, shut down the engine and investigated. The strong smelling liquid appears to be gasoline leaking from under the engine compartment. The vehicle was parked on the spot as the two occupants evacuated the vehicle. While outside, the sound of gasoline splashing down could be heard. A tow truck

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 Audi q7. The contact stated that the odor of fuel was present inside and outside the vehicle. Also, the average fuel mileage decreased while driving. The vehicle and the driver discovered a puddle of fuel under the driver's side of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump flange was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer (concord Audi, 1300 concord ave, concord, ca) were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16v660000 (fuel system) in november of 2016; however, the failure still occurred. The failure mileage was 100,000.

While driving in dry/fair weather conditions and at highway speeds (50 and 70 MPH) the esp warning light came on and engaged the ABS system for no apparent reason. It created a loss of control of the Audi q7 4.2 until I turned off the esp system as I exited the freeway to stop and then restart the vehicle. This has happened three times in the pasted 100 miles and 3 months. The selling dealer found no codes and nothing has been resolved. This is not a safe situation for me, and Audi has offered no solution to the dealer tech to date. *tr

Oil pump bolt lose timing chain rattling lose oil pressure.

Driving my car when I heard pop and car stalled. Engine would not turn over and had to have it towed to dealer. Dealer said oil pump went and caused the engine to seize. Know I have to replace engine. Car was at dealer two weeks prior and issue not addressed. *tr

The oil pump bolt vibrated loose causing timing gear and chain to fall out inside engine causing catastrophic engine failure and loss of brakes and power steering. Was in motion on a city street moving with traffic and suddenly the engine silently fails causing loss of power assist breaks and steering. The car is almost silent so I did not realize until I came up to a stop light and needed to brake almost causing a serious accident. If you google "oil pump bolt issues" you will see there are hundreds of passats and Audi 's with 3.6 liter engines manufactured at the same factory with this issue. Most of them failed while the cars were under warranty and were fixed quietly by the dealers. Those of us who were unlucky enough to buy one that has not had the "strengthened bolt' installed o

Vehicle has severe steering wheel shaking/vibration during normal highway driving which also leads to bad wheel alignment. Road noise is very noticeable and loud. *tr

Noticed that my pass. Side mirror would not adjust when using the switch or when I put the truck in reverse. I made an appointment with the dealership for the next week. After leaving my truck at the dealership for a week, I was informed that the mirror motor part had to be ordered and was not in stock. What? They held my truck for a week just to tell me to come back. So the next week I made another appointment and the motor was replaced and fixed. *tr
