2017 AUDI Q7 Complaints

When putting the car in park, the car shot forward instead and when I tried to put it in reverse the car shot backward and I was unable to stop it.

I have a 2017 Audi Q7. There is a recall for the problem I am having but my VIN is not included and Audi cannot do the repair unless my VIN is included. The recall is 97CB. When my auto lights option is turned on, at completely random times, I get warning light that states: FRONT LEFT SIDE MARKER LIGHT DEFECTIVE SEE OWNERS MANUAL. The lights are functional and working (as verified by dealer in 2019) but there is some software glitch and Audi can't fix it because my VIN isn't part of the recall. It is startling when the sensor alert goes off. How do I get my vin added to recall 97CB? Thank you

The contact owns a 2017 Audi Q7. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH at night, she was informed by another driver that the turn signals and the running lights were inoperable. The contact stated the "Auto Adaptive Light” malfunction warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the headlight module needed to be replaced due to corrosion. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V642000 (Electrical System, Exterior Lighting) however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.

On my way to drop my child off at school, I stopped to refuel my Audi Q7. Upon inserting the nozzle to refuel the car, gasoline immediately began jetting out of the fuel door before the auto-shutoff kicked in, covering myself as well as my vehicle. Thankfully, the hot exhaust did not ignite the liquid or fuel vapor potentially causing a deadly fire. Despite having no fuel remaining, I was able to take the vehicle to our local mechanic where they discovered a TSB denoting this specific issue. The TSB was initially released 04/28/2016 for Model Year 2017 Audi Q7s. It was subsequently updated to include Model Year 2018 Q7s as well. This is a documented factory safety defect that denotes if this issue is to occur, to replace the whole fuel tank. Further research shows that a valve inside the non-wear, non-serviceable fuel filler neck can become dislodged and nearly completely block the filler neck from accepting fuel. This can cause a potential safety issue as the result of this blockage, the vehicle as well as driver can become doused in gasoline before a pump's auto-shutoff can kick in due to the shallow depth of the fault. The problem is known and documented as being an issue nearly immediately after the Model Year 2017 Q7 line was released. There was no prior warning or indication that this could occur at any time filling the vehicle.

Car issued an alert for Low Coolant, I checked next morning only to find that the coolant tank was empty. This warning could have alerted long back when the level fell below "Min" marker. Owners cannot notice this leak because the coolant doesn't drip on the floor. Took it to an independent service center who alerted me about this issue. I researched and noticed that there's been a lot of complaints on forums for 2017 Audi Q7 3.0 for coolant leak cause by the water pump, which always needs replacement. The replacement costs by AUDI are upwards of US $1300. This issue seems like a regular pattern and can cause an engine failure. AUDI should take responsibility and fix these cars.

Hello. Campaign Number 16V642000 needs to be expanded to include the full range of VINs manufactured for all the 2017 Audi Q7 model year(s). This vehicle reports a side marker light malfunction, but the VIN is not included in the Audi recall. There are numerous complaints on the NHTSA website itself, and even more across various Internet forums to warrant NHTSA investigation. The continued delay by NHTSA not to investigate the need to expand the range of VINs covered under this recall, allows a safety issue to continue to go uncorrected by the manufacturer and therefore unnecessarily and negligently increases the risk of crash for countless motorists.

I got a message said that the front leftside marker light defective see owner's manual. I did research online and found that many vehicles just pass the warranty then have the same issue. Please help review this case

The fuel tank has a broken flap in the filler neck. Per the NHTSA ID # below, this issue is a known issue. My vehicle is experiencing this issue and will not allow me to put fuel into my car. I am unclear why the NHTSA feels that this is just a technical bulletin rather than a recall. Why should the consumer be subject to replacing a faulting known design by the manufacturer, Audi, in this case. I am now going to have to pay an extract few thousand to have this issue resolved. This is completely unfair to the consumer. NHTSA ID Number: 10150656 Manufacturer Communication Number: A201804 2044039-

Vehicle was parked and went out to start it and coolent was all over ground under car. Water Pump blew on Audi with only 25,000 miles on it. Currently a class action on the Q7 3T stating the water pumps keep going out on new vehicles or vehicles with low mileage. Now the malfunction light will not go out and repair shop said its an emissions issue.

Dash display is showing "Right Front Marker light malfunction" message even though the marker light is fully functional and operational. Message only appears when headlights are ON. Vehicle will NOT pass Massachusetts inspection with warning light ON, EVEN though light is fully functional. Audi service code is C11A615. Audi service center is quoting a $5300 repair cost.
