AUDI Complaints

The Audi 2020 q7 experiences an SOS Emergency contact communication failure when it goes of cell service range and in certain circumstances, it does not reset itself Or allow reconnection to the communication module after it goes back in range within cell service. This is a know issue, similar to Audi service Bulletin 90T2 in which the NHTSA issued a recall (The Q7 model is not covered under That recall, but several other models within the same year are covered). As a result of this software bug, in certain circumstances, it the communication module may not be able to contact emergency services. Audi America dealerships require payment and charge consumers $276 for drivers to update the MMI system To correct the software “bug.” Due to the fact that it is a Software issue, which requires updating by the dealership, Extended warranties do not cover fees associated.

The front side marker lights are defective see manual warning. Called dealer and they said the headlight needs replacement at a cost of over 6 thousand dollars. There is a recall for this but my vin number is not included.

Such incident happened two times: when I was driving at normal speed, another vehicle quickly approached me from back while switching to my lane. Out of any instruction, my vehicle applied brakes to decelerate. This almost caused crash and put my safety at high risk!

The panel showed vehicle lights malfunction. The side marker lights are on all the time. This happened without any accident or changes of the setting.

Level sensor on left rear suspension failed, causing headlights to be pointed downward and not safely lighting the road ahead. The sensor failed due to poor design, metal-to-metal ball and socket linkage in a corrosion-assured location under the car. When the metal-to-metal ball and socket corroded and froze, resulting load caused the sensor linkage to break. A search of Audi forums indicates that this problem is not uncommon, and this same sensor design is used in other Audi models and variants.
