2018 Audi Q7 owner complaints

A very distracting warning about an issue with a front left side marker keeps popping up - on some rides multiple times in a minute! - and the only way to address it is, according to the dealership, to pay almost $7,000 to replace the entire headlamp assembly. It’s so distracting I do not permit the new teenage driver in our family to drive the car because I do not think it is safe. The visual is alarming and appears in the display immediately behind the steering wheel, so it is distracting. I think it makes a Ping! noise too, each time it appears. The car passed inspection because the light still works, there seems to be some other problem deep in the assembly that is causing the distracting warning. Given the cost and the safety issue from the distraction, I was surprised there is not a

Error code for right front side marker light faulty. Light seems to be working. I've had two mechanics look at the car. They can't figure out what's wrong. Error message appears randomly. Brakes are very squeaky. I took the car to Audi and they said it was normal and I should brake more aggressively.

My car shows a warning message that says, right front side marker light issue. I understand Audi issued a recall for this issue but only for certain VINs which did not include my car.

The left front side marker light is defective. However, the left front side marker light is working. The vehicle keeps reporting this error. Audi recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000) addresses this exact issue, but this problem has always existed. Even 2018 Audi vehicles have this problem.

Loud squeaking noise when backing up coming from brakes. Noise is alarming and causes one to immediately brake, and noise dramatically alarms those around and in vehicle. 2018 Audi q7 with 26k miles. Dealer did not advise of tsb advising self...only aware after calling Audi directly. Dealer service advised brake and rotor replacement if problem continues.

Loud squeaking noise when backing up/on reverse coming from front brakes. Advised Audi dealership at rocherst hills, mi for the issue when the car was less then 2 years old and with only 20,000 miles on it, but service adviser said there was no bulletin tsb, service campaig or recall for the the issue. I should pay out of my pocket for the service. After speaking to an Audi representative directly, I was advised that there was a tsb for the car and my car it should be serviced. When contacted the same dealership I was advised that I was out of 24,000 miles (by 1,000 miles) or 2 years warranty (out 4 months) and they could not fix it. When I complained to them that the other advised told me there is no coverage available, when my car was under coverage limits, then the dealer told me that t

Front brakes have issues from the beginning with brand new tires from the dealer. Dealer changed all tires with brand new tires again and brake pads for front brakes six months ago. Vehicle makes noise when I push brake. Vehicle is now with the dealer and they are trying to figure out. This is not at all acceptable being a $80k vehicle. Audi should discontinue these defective vehicles and refund the money. This is also a road hazard and risky issue to drive. This is a major safety issue.

In may of 2020 I severely hit my head (left side of forehead) on the c-pillar while exiting the left-rear seat. The vehicle was parked at the time at the time of my head injury. The injury was caused because the c-pillar is very close to the rear headrest, and to exit the vehicle one generally has to look down at the ground where one is about to step. It is my understanding that there is currently a safety recall (70h8 NHTSA: 20v658) for this vehicle, a 2018 Audi q7. (the c-pillar is the third vertical beam from the front of the vehicle.) the recall states "an increased risk of injury if an unbelted passenger's head contacts the c-pillar in a crash." my experience is that there is also an increased risk of head injury on the c-pillar as passengers exit the vehicle from the rear d

The crankcase ventilation valve is malfunctioning resulting in excessive oil consumption and unsafe idling. The Extended Warranty dated 5/24/19 with Number AWA-19-03 should be extended to other model years.

Low coolant, and found coolant leaking from waterpump

Rear spring failure which has been reported as a common issue based on research.

Rear coil spring broke without any load on the vehicle. This condition causes some of the safety features to not work such as adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking.

Getting error message regarding "Front Right Side Marker Light Defective". My car has a little over 66K and has no problems. There was an Audi recall ampaign97CB (NHTSA campaign ID #16V642000) that addresses this exact issue and applies to some affected VIN numbers, but mine is not included.

I noticed rough handling and road noise at 7,000 miles. I checked the tires and they were worn unevenly. The dealer said they needed to be rotated and that it would go away, but it's been another 9,000 miles and it hasn't improved. The tires are pirelli scorpion verde all season run flats. They are wearing horribly only on the inside half of the tires. I had a four wheel alignment done, but it hasn't helped the uneven wear. The wear pattern is wavy, like a roller coaster. I believe there is an issue with these tires. The car is a 2018 Audi q7.
