2017 AUDI Q7 Complaints

Error warning "front right side marker defective" is displayed. Other 2017 Q7s are included on the recall list for this issue (recall #16V642000) but our VIN number is not included.

The front side marker lights are defective see manual warning. Called dealer and they said the headlight needs replacement at a cost of over 6 thousand dollars. There is a recall for this but my vin number is not included.

My car side marker light defective code is on. These cars had a recall “ Audi recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000” dealer says I need to replace the headlight assembly. But I believe dealers should fix the issue as it’ was a safety recall. Please assist me with this issue. Thank you

Received “left front side marker deficient” warning. Warning appears when lights are turned on. Have been made aware that this issue may have been addressed for some, but not all, 2017 Q7s in a previous recall. This is a safety issue as the car could be less visible at night. Audi charging several thousand dollars for a new headlight assembly; should fix problem for free as it is a well known issue for this year of Q7 at this point.

Oil consumption increased over time to 1qt per 400 miles causing engine misfire in cyclinder 5 then 2,3. Engine now requires exhaust valve replacement and or complete replacement or overhaul at 140k mileage. Problem started at 90k miles.

The front left side market light defective message is coming up. I read a recall had been done for this for some VINS but not all. How do I get it on the recall list?

The "front right-side marker light is defective" message illuminated in my dash February 2024 when my car is in the garage or gets dark. It does not impact the functions of the car and there is an amber reflector beneath it. According to Federal Law, these are necessary to be visible to others, and without these my car will not pass inspection. However, due to the engineering of the vehicle it requires $5000 to fix. It requires replacing the entire headlight assembly, which is a poor design for the consumer but benefit to the manufacturer. The Audi recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16 V 642000) addresses this exact issue and applies to some affected VIN numbers but not all. It appears that this issue is happening to MANY more owners outside of the VIN numbers that qualify for the recall. If this is an issue with 2017 Audi Q7s , all 2017 Q7s should be included in the recall.

Engine oil consumption, suv requires a quart of oil in between oil changes. Also head light gives warning sign of the side marker being faulty.
