2017 AUDI Q7 Complaints

The computer keeps showing that we have a malfunction in the side marker lights. They still work but we get the notice daily. Have taken it to the the dealer and they state that there is a recall but our vin number is not in the listing. There repair cost is over $4000. It's the same problem, my vehicle is in the 2017 Q7 range. Our number needs to be added to the recall of the same problem.

The front left side marker lighting is defective. This was a recall but only on certain VIN numbers, although it appears the recall should’ve covered more VINs.

Oil consumption issue began June 2021 with my 2017 Audi Q7 with the 3.0 engine, we were at 78,841 miles. Our vehicle was always serviced at the dealer on the recommended schedule. The dealer stated high oil consumption of 1 quart per 1,000-2,000 miles was normal. The high oil consumption issues continued. At 99,559 miles the car began shaking on the way home from a routine oil change. They found cylinder 3 spark plug covered in oil and replaced all spark plugs to clear misfires. At 104,002 miles the N428 oil pressure regulation valve was replaced, which seemed to improve oil consumption temporarily, but gradually got worse with frequent top offs. On 1 December 2024 at 123,616 miles the car started to shake while traveling at 70mph on the interstate, with the engine lights on. The dealer found crusted spark plugs and identified that cylinder 1 had a burnt/broken exhaust valve due to excessive oil consumption and residue buildup. The required long block replacement would exceed the value of the car. Clearly a defect in the 3.0 Audi engine.

2017 Q7 owner. "front left side marker light defective" message on my car. Audi recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000) addresses this exact issue and applies to some affected VIN numbers but not all. My car is not included. It is available for inspection. I've taken the car to the dealer and a private auto repair who both diagnosed the problem and the repair cost of $5,000.

Driving with the family on interstate 81South when suddenly the car went from riding smoothly to a rough rumbling sensation. Then all sorts of alarms sounded and the engine light, oil light and system malfunction indicator light came on simultaneously. We pulled over immediately and turned the car off. We looked in the manual to check the severity of the indication lights. We wanted to determine if we could drive to the nearest exit. We started it back up to see if it was some sort of glitch. It remained so thankfully we were right near an exit and exited and called for roadside service. It was towed from Christiansburg, VA back to Roanoke Audi at 2006 Peterscreek Rd Roanoke, VA 24017 on Nov 9th. The dealership concluded that cylinder 1 was burned out with a possible damaged long block assy. I have had all services and taken great care of the car. However, in between services the car would always require an additional 1qt of oil.

Front right side marker light defective message. Audi/VW recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000) addresses this exact issue and applies to some affected VIN numbers but NOT ALL. This issue is happening to MANY more owners outside of the VIN numbers that qualify for the recall. However, my vehicle does not qualify.

The rear coils springs snapped. The vehicle has 66k miles, which is very low for this type of component to fail. I have not used the vehicle for towing or heaving hauling. From what I have read online, many owners of 2017 Audi Q7s have experience this same issue. There is a clear defect in the springs that is causing this to happen.

Oil consumption issue began June 2021 with my 2017 Audi Q7 with the 3.0 engine. Dealer advised this was normal for high performance engines, and it could continue where every 1,000-1,500 miles would need a quart of oil. Vehicle was serviced at the dealer on their regular recommended schedule. With continued oil consumption issues this past year they did part 1 of their oil consumption test September of 2024. A few weeks later the car started to shake when started and the start/stop system malfunction light came on. In cylinder 3 they found oil on the spark plug and changed out the spark plug and ignition coil. A week later the car began shaking again and they performed part 2 of their oil consumption test. It showed oil consumption a 3.61 quarts per 1,000 miles. They then performed a flush of the engine, and said that cylinder 3 was burned up and the engine had to be replaced. The Service manager after seeing how the car was serviced over the 6 years that there has to be a defect in the 3.0 Audi engine.

Car indicated "Front left side marker light defective" Upon further research, some VIN's were included in a recall for this problem, but some were left off. My vehicle was left off, despite the warning coming on while driving. The marker light being defective increases likelihood of a crash or other incident.
