THE 2007 AUDI WAS HIT ON A HIGH SPEED COLLISION AFTER OTHER VEHICLE RAN A RED LIGHT AND NO AIR BAGS WHERE DEPLOID BY THE AUDI Q7 AFTER MASSIVE FRONT AND SIDE COLLISION FROM OTHER VEHICLE AT 50 MPH . NOT VERY HAPPY OF THE SAFETY PROBLEM THAT THIS LUXURY 2007 AUDI Q7 VEHICLE HAS BY NOT DEPLOYING THE FRONT AND SIDE AIRBAGS CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY TO MY FAMILY DURING THE ACCIDENT. POLICE AND FIRE RESCUE IN THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT WERE VERY CONCERN WITH THE AUDI Q7 FAILURE OF THE SAFETY AIRBAGS AND SUGGESTED TO REPORT IT TO AUDI USA FOR EVALUATION OR POSABLE RECALL. *TT

WHEN RETURNING FROM A TRIP, ABOUT 1 MILE FROM HOME I EXPERIENCED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. WHEN I GOT HOME AND OPENED THE HOOD, GASOLINE WAS SPRAYING FROM THE ENGINE ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND INSTANTLY VAPORIZING INTO A CLOUD. I THINK WE WERE VERY LUCKY THIS DID NOT RESULT IN A FIRE THAT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY INJURED ME AND MY FAMILY. I TOOK THE CAR TO A NEARBY GARAGE, AND THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME THE CAR COULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I HAD IT TOWED TO ROGER BEASLEY AUDI, IN AUSTIN. AFTER EXAMINING THE ENGINE THEY CONFIRMED THE LEAK AND DETERMINED IT WAS DUE TO A BROKEN FUEL INJECTOR INSIDE THE ENGINE. I FEEL THIS ISSUE IS A VERY SERIOUS INJURY RISK, AND WILL LIKELY RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM OF MISFIRING FOR OVER 2 YEARS AND HAS BEEN POINTED OUT TO THE REPAIR SHOP ON MANY OCCASIONS. THE NEXT PROBLEM IS THE TRUCK TAKING VERY LONG TO CRANK OVER WHEN STARTING. THE LAST PROBLEM IS THE VEHICLE HAS WATER INGRESS THAT IS CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN TO BE REPAIRED OVER 10 WEEKS AND PROBLEM STILL IS HAPPENING. THE WARRANTY EVEN EXPIRED WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME A LOSS INTERMS OF RESALE VALUE AND CANNOT BE TRADED. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY AUDI Q7, IT JERKED AT 20 MPH FOR 3 TO 4 TIMES. TOOK IT TO DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP. THEY CLEANED IT, AFTER 3 WEEKS, I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY AT 60 MPH, ITS HUGE JERK CAR STOP AND GO AS IF THERE IS LACK OF FUEL SUPPLY. THE GUY BEHIND ME HONKED AS IF I DID UNEXPECTED BREAKING. THE NEXT DAY I AM DROPPING MY KID AT SCHOOL, THERE WAS STEEP HILL, THE CAR IS DOING SAME I WAS SCARED AS CAR IS PULLING DOWN FROM UPHILL. I FEEL THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE TO ME AND THE CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY AUDI Q7 THE 25TH OF AUGUST OF 2010 IN MIAMI, FL WHEN THE BRAKES SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND I RAN A COUPLE RED LIGHTS TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IN THE MEAN TIME, I TURNED THE DRIVE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL POSITION AND I STARTED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT FINALLY STOPPED THE CAR SLOWLY. I STOPPED IN A SAFE PLACE AND I CALL AUDI TOW ASSISTANCE, THEY CAME IN ABOUT AN HOUR TO PICK MY VEHICLE UP AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (PRESTIGE IMPORTS). I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICES RENDERED BY THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO INSPECTION AND REPAIRS WHEN IT REACHED THE 60,000 MILES BACK ON APRIL, 2010, AT WHICH TIME I WAS CHARGED FOR THE FRONT BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT (SEE ATTACHED RECEIPT). I AM TERRIFIED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME IF INSTEAD OF BEING IN A REGULAR STREET I WAS ON A HIGHWAY OR IF THERE WERE CARS WAITING ON THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS. I WANT TO NOTIFY PRESTIGE IMPORTS AND AUDI OF AMERICAS ABOUT MY CONCERNS IN REFERENCE TO THE QUALITY OF THE SERVICES RENDERED AT THIS FACILITY AND THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE AND I AM CONCERNED WHETHER THE BRAKE PADS REPLACEMENT WAS REALLY DONE AS REQUIRED BY AUDI'S MANUAL. *TR

AUDI Q7 4.2L WITH 34200 MILES LOST RPM ON HIGHWAY, SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 62MPH TO 22 MPH, WHEN ESP LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGAGED THE ABS. THE CAR BEHIND COULD BARELY STOP, DISTURBING THE ENTIRE TRAFFIC. FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILIZATION PROGRAM), THE ESP LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, MOSTLY ON, ALONG WITH THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. WHEN ESP LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR IS JERKING AND IT INVOLVES THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER/STREETS CONDITIONS ARE VERY GOOD (DRY, PAVED STREETS, SUMMER SUNNY DAYS). TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I AM THE FIRST ONE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF PROBLEM, AND THAT I AM THE "GUINEA PIG" FOR THEM. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS CAR REPRESENTS A GREAT POTENTIAL DANGER WHILE IN TRAFFIC. TODAY, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. HOW ABOUT TOMORROW? DO WE NEED MORE "GUINEA PIGS"? *TR
