2014 AUDI Q7 Complaints

About a month ago I smelled and noticed a fuel leak had a mechanic check it out he said it was leaking by the fuel pump flange and it was a recall and it looks like it wasn’t fix at all or wasn’t fixed properly I contacted Audi and they said it was fixed but they have no records of it being fixed!!

The contact owns a 2014 Audi Q7 equipped with Nexen HP, Tire Line: Roadian, Tire Size: 275/45/R20, DOT Number: 8YEHDECR2122. The contact stated that after washing her vehicle she noticed that a bubble had formed on the side wall of the passenger’s side front tire. The contact stated that the front tires were constantly losing air. The contact stated that this was the fourth set of tires that had a failure from the same retailer. The contact had originally purchased the first set of tires over one year ago, and all the tires had experienced the failures. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate vehicle failure mileage was 120,000. The tire failure mileage was approximately 1,200.

The contact owns a 2014 Audi Q7. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, there was a fuel and exhaust odor entering the cabin of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the odor was more prominent in colder weather and the failure had occurred intermittently while the vehicle was idling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

We have a 2014 Audi Q7 with 60K mileage that we serviced and maintained by Hoffman Audi all the time. On December 27th, while on the freeway, the engine was shut down without any prior alert, with a lot of smoke and oil leakage. With our minimal knowledge, it appears the gasket was frozen, causing the coolant to leak into the engine's unwanted part and damage it completely. This is a manufacturing and poor-quality Audi product that could have risked the life of the passengers on board. We filed a complaint to Audi USA with no response, and insurance declined. We need your kind attention to help us in finding a way to fix the issue as why did Hoffman service center never figure out the issue, if there was one, and why did Audi not give any alert before such a disaster took place that will cost us >24K to fix a $35K car.

Adaptive cruise and speed control were intermittently operating eventually resulting in a defective system. No resolution at this time

Flooding due to improper cleaning of ac valve blockage. I took the car to the dealership due to water leakage in the floorboards. They said they fixed the issue but after within a few weeks the water leakage kept pouring now due to that the water leakage has exceeded its point to which it has now put it self into the electronica areas of the car. Now the car will no longer run and it shows multiple issues with the check engine light constantly on consistent water leakage now there’s mold and water leakage in the electronica area and it’s preventing me from using my car my car is no longer able to drive and I feel it’s due to the consistency of them not being able to control the water leak damage the car has caused

THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF HAS A FLAW THAT CAUSES RAIN TO OR ON THE AMPLIFIER. AUDI FUNCTIONS THROUGH FIBER OPTICS, THEREFORE WHEN THE AMPLIFIER MALFUNCTIONS, THE ENTIRE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE.

THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THE VEHICLES FOR THE FLANGE AROUND THE FUEL PUMP LEAKING. THE REPAIR DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT WILL REOCCUR. AUDI WILL ONLY FIX THE CAR ONCE. NEXT REPAIR IS ON THE OWNER AND COSTS $1,000 TO REPAIR. AUDI REPAIR FACILITY ADMITS IT IS THE VERY PROBLEM AFFECTED IN THE RECALL AND THAT MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SO MUCH FUEL IT IS IN IMMINENT DANGER OF CATCHING FIRE. THEY WILL NOT EVEN LET IT LEAVE THE FACILITY UNLESS IT IS TOWED ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE LEAK. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO AUDI ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AFTER THE FIRST RECALL REPAIR WAS DONE SAYING THEIR WAS A FUEL SMELL ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR RETURNED SAYING IT WAS NORMAL. ONCE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED NOW THEY SAY IT HAS A FUEL LEAK AND REFUSE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.

THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOSE ACCELERATION (NO POWER) ON THE FREEWAY DURING NORMAL DRIVING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAPPENS TO ME. THE FIRST TIME THAT IT HAPPENED IN JUNE OF 2020, THE RECALL WAS DONE ON BY AUDI DEALER ASSUMING THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY, BUT IT CAME BACK.
