2013 AUDI Q7 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING AND JUST ABOUT TO TURN IN TO THE HIGHWAY I WAS AND USING THE WIPERS ON MEDIUM SPEED THE PASSSNEGER SIDE WIPER BLADE BASE SNAPPED RIGHT OFF!!!! THE WIPER BLADE WAS FINE BUT THE METAL ARM JUST SNAPPED! . I HAD TO PULL OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED NO GOT THE WIPER FROM THE BASE OF THE HOOD AND OUT RIGHT IN THE CAR TO TAKE IT TO AUDI TO HAVE IT FIXED. THANK GOODNESS IT DIDN'T FLY OFF AND HIT SOMEONE ELSE.

WITHIN 300 MILES OF THE DIESEL RECALL MODIFICATION THE ENGINE LOST POWER AT 70 MPH AND SLOWLY DRIFTED TO LOWER SPEED. ADDITIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT RESPOND TO MANUAL SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR (IT STAYED IN 8TH). AFTER STOPPING THE CAR AND TURNING IT OFF A "RESET ACCOURED" AND THE CAR OPERATED NORMALLY FOR ANOTHER 300 MILES. THE CAR AGAIN LOST POWER AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT RESPOND TO MANUAL SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO AUDI AND THEY "CLEANED" THE ERG VALVE. THE LOSS OF POWER AND LACK OF TRANSMISSION ACCRUED AGAIN AT ABOUT 300 ,450 AND 600 MILES PAST THE EVENT OF AUDI WORKING ON THE ERGT. ALL OF THESE EVENTS HAVE TAKEN PLACE AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND WHEN THE CAR IS BEING OPERATED ON TRIPS IN EXCESS OF 300 MILES

WIFE PULLED INTO GARAGE ON A STORMY DAY AND I WAS STANDING ON PASSENGER SIDE WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD SON. PASSENGER WIPER ARM SNAPPED OFF AND FLEW TOWARD US AND ALMOST STABBED MY 3 YEAR OLD. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIPER BLADE, BUT IT WAS THE WHOLE ENTIRE ARM. THE BROKEN END WAS SHARPEN LIKE A KNIFE BLADE...UPDATED 10/06/17 *BF UPDATED 10/17/2017*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 AUDI Q7. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN AWAY BY THE CONTACT AND LATER TOWED TO THE DEALER (AUDI BROOKLYN 665 65TH ST, BROOKLYN, NY, 11220). THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V516000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

CAR STALLS AND HAS DIED WHILE DRIVING; TOOK TO DEAL FOR REPAIR THEY CLAIMED BAD FUEL AND EMPTIED AND CLEANED TANK. SAME ISSUE 2 MONTHS LATER AND NOW CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH THEY SAY COULD BE BAD FUEL AGAIN (IT'S DIESEL, I HAVE ONLY BOUGHT FUEL AT BP SINCE REPAIR) OR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. CAR HAS $56K MILES.

TWO BLOW OUTS 2 MONTHS APART ON SET OF TIRES. NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING. FIRST ONE WAS RIGHT FRONT TIRE WHILE TRAVELING ON FREEWAY - THE SECOND BLOW OUT WAS RIGHT REAR TIRE WHILE TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY. ALL TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW ON JUNE 9TH 2014.

I AM DISHA AND I BOUGHT AN AUDI Q7 FOR RS. 94 LAKHS FROM BENGALURU, TWO YEARS AND FOUR MONTHS BACK. THE REASON WAS ITS SPEED AS I HAD TO TRAVEL TO DIFFERENT CITIES AND IT WAS A BUSINESS REQUIREMENT TOO. I BOUGHT TWO MORE AUDIS FOR MY BUSINESS OFFICIALS AND PURPOSE. BUT MY EXPERIENCE WITH AUDI IS VERY BAD. THE FIRST AUDI CAR OF MINE IS Q7 AND IT IS A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS OLD. I HAVE SPENT RS. 45 LAKHS ON MY Q7 ALREADY FOR IT TO RUN EFFICIENTLY. CURRENTLY, I GAVE THE AUDI FOR SERVICE PURPOSES A MONTH AGO AND I HAVE STILL NOT GOT IT BACK IN SPITE OF ME PAYING THE FULL AMOUNT. THE EXCUSE IS THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO GET THE AUTOMOBILE PARTS AND IT'S STILL TO REACH INDIA FROM OVERSEAS. I NOW CURSE MYSELF FOR MY FLEET OF AUDI. I HAVE A Q3 AND AN A4 TOO WHICH ARE ALSO THE SAME AND I HAD SPENT HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THEM JUST TO KEEP THEM RUNNING. ALONG WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CAR, HIGH MAINTENANCE COST AND BAD AFTER SALES AND DEALERSHIP SERVICES I STILL THOUGHT OF KEEPING MY CARS. BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO GET MY CAR BACK AFTER GIVING IT FOR SERVICING. SO I REGRET MY DECISION OF BUYING THE AUDI CARS AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO BUY SUCH CARS OR ANY OF AUDI CARS AT ALL. MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS WOMAN OF BENGALURU. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING BETWEEN APPROXIMATELY 70-72 MPH AND THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER OR BOUNCE. THIS DISTRACTS THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A FLAT OPEN ROAD. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE WAS A BIG NOISE BANG, AND THE SUNROOF SHATTERED INTO PIECES. THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC CLOSE TO MY CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE WEATHER WAS COLD (-12F). *TR
