Broken front springs at 60000 miles.
Jun 04, 2025
At approximately 67,000 miles there was a loud bang and the passenger side rear coil spring was broken.
Feb 10, 2025
Both rear coil springs broke. Was not obvious when I was backing up. I heard a bang. I thought I hit something, but in fact I didn’t. I never knew what was wrong. The dealer reported that both rear springs were broken. He said it was a safety problem to keep it that way. The Audi dealer said it was a safety problem I think you should believe him. It is a safety problem. The car drove but I had to replace the springs cost thousands of dollars. Videos of spring at. [XXX] There was no crash. There was no heavy use. The spring simply broke the first one broke I believe at 55,000 miles and the second one at 76,000 miles. Everybody on the Internet seems to be having broken springs on Audi Q7 and Q5 models. And when they break, they’re no longer supported mechanic , as you can see from the photographs. One spring is supported in one way on the edge of the retain cup and one spring is pressing against some other component. It’s dangerous.

Rear coil springs broke after just 60,000 miles. Audi refused to cover but dealer said this is very common. Vehicle stability affected. After my 42 years in automotive industry as a supplier my bet is these springs are made in China and supplier is cheating on material specifications and Audi must know.

On October 9, I brought my 2019 Audi Q7 with approximately 79k miles to my dealership service department for an oil change and an inspection sticker. While in for the service, the dealership performed a multi-point inspection. During the inspection, the service technician found that both rear coils were broken off of the base. The technician recommended that these be replaced immediately and need immediate attention. The cost of the repair is over $3,000 and would then require an alignment and calibration, costing an additional over $500. I understand that these coils were recalled in later model Audi Q7's but not my year. Based upon this, it seems that the coils are defective and there should be additional recalls. There really is no reason for coils to break on a car that has such a large towing capacity (though I don't tow anything on the car and don't have a tow hitch). This is a safety issue for the car's performance and control.

STEERING

Steering malfunction , stop car warning. On the road
Aug 13, 2025
Driving down the road at 50 mph and warning light came on stating "Steering Malfunction" and lost all steering capacity and had difficultly safely exiting the traveled road to safe location. No steering and avoiding a rear collision due to unexpected breaking to handle car.
Jun 02, 2025
02/04/2025 after work I was driving on local street in rush hours, suddenly the display panel popped out the warning message: Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle. Then I found out the wheel couldn't turn right or left any more. I turned on the emergency light immediately and moved my vehicle close to curb pending tow truck. Luckily it was raining evening, traffic was slow at 15~20 MPH, this incident didn't cause crash or injury but blocking the traffic more then one hour for the tow truck. If it happened on highway, I couldn't imagine what the serious fatal accident would be... After the Audi tech inspected, it was the electrical steering failed / the internal control died out--a defective parts.

1. Steering malfunction, yes. 2. In the course of driving on [XXX] through a mountain pass in Colorado with snow and poor driving conditions, the steering mechanism on the vehicle failed resulting in not being able to maneuver the vehicle out of the lane or off the road safely. If this happened while other vehicles were in front/behind or to the side of us, or if this would have happened in another mountain road without emergency curbing/exits - we could have easily been killed. 3. The vehicle is at the Audi Denver dealership (had to be towed) and they confirmed the code "Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle" that displayed on the panel. 4. No, tried to call Audi but there was a 2 hour wait to talk to someone and even then, not sure I would have reached anyone that could have helped. 5. Warning message "Steering: malfunction! Please stop vehicle" displayed with red steering wheel icon and exclamation mark. No other warning or sign of failure. This is the problem, driving at highway speed, get a steering malfunction warning, can't steer or control the vehicle - have to stop "safely". This could have been catastrophic. In any other vehicle if rack/pinon slips or power steering fluid fails, you can still manage to steer and avoid collision, this Audi under these conditions gave no such option.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
7 complaints
Drive System malfunction code appeared while driving. Engine then shut off immediately. Had it towed to Audi dealership. Fuel Pump and Fuel Pump Module Codes reported in diagnostics check: codes P3044, P1158, and P0148. There is a NHTSA campaign number 22V516 (Audi recall number 20DR) that has been reported on this same issue with the fuel pump, however, my model 2019 is one year shy of the 2020 Q7 to 2021 affected vehicle range. Asking NHTSA to look into other repeated fuel pump issues for the same model vehicle, but for 2019 models. I have read of other 2019 model fuel pump complaints that match the 2020-2021 recall. The 2019 models need to be included in the investigation and recall.

On [XXX} Friday morning, I was driving at 35 mph on local road after existing from highway. Suddenly the screen displayed this message: Drive system malfunction. The car was totally broken down. I couldn't start the engine any more so I turned on hazard light and pulled over to the curb pending AAA rescue truck. Luckily it was not happened on highway. Otherwise the car could be wrecked to cause fatal accident. It was the first time since I had this brand new Audi Q7 in November 2019 running 26,600 miles. After Audi certified tech inspected, he concluded the fuel pump defective and needed to replace a new one for $3000+.

I have been told that I have a fuel rail leak, which can cause a fire in the engine compartment. This is the same as NHTSA Campaign Number 19V035000, but that campaign only covers model years 2016-2018 for the Audi Q7. This same issue has surfaced with my 2019 Q7.

As always, my wife put her purse with the key in the purse in the front seat of the car while she was putting our (3) old grandchild in the care seat. as soon as my wife closed the back door all the doors locked, possibly our granddaughter hit the lock with her foot. The back doors only have a lock feature but not an unlock feature. My wife had to call the fire department to get the doors open. We live in Florida, if this was summer, there could have been a health risk to our grandchild. (1) why with the keys in the car would it lock (2) why isn't there a way to unlock the doors from the back seat? I went on line and it looks like others have had this same issue.

When the vehicle is connected to a cell phone and reliant on Apple CarPlay for navigation support, the screen will freeze numerous times while in transit. This causes the driver to lose situational awareness. The natural impulse for most drivers is to try to remedy the issue while moving. Once the device is disconnected the application resets and loses the destination. This can happen while driving on a highway at a high rate of speed.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
3 complaints
The auto brake suddenly braked hard and it was scary. The car reported a collision warning red light for a few seconds. Luckily, there was no car close behind me. While I was driving at about 70 miles per hour on the highway, there was no car in front of me to worry about. There was probably a car driving in the next lane. After the sudden brake, everything seemed to be back to normal. This type of sudden auto brake happened once in late 2019, on a local drive, I thought it was a falling leaf or something. But this time on the highway, there was nothing in front the car.
Oct 25, 2023
The problem occurs when making a left-hand turn. I'm in the left-hand turn lane waiting for oncoming traffic to clear. When it is clear, I proceed with my left-hand turn. After a short distance, the Forward Collision Warning indicator flashes, the brakes are applied very hard, and the car stalls. I am often left in the oncoming lane, with a stalled car. I have to put it in park, start it then put it into drive to move forward again. This takes a bit of time. This is 1) very startling, 2) makes it likely for me to be rear-ended, and 3) my car can easily be hit head-on by a car in the oncoming lane. I luckily have not been in an accident yet. This has occurred at least 5 times, with one additional time, the indicator and brakes being applied but the car did not stall. The dealer has been notified twice about this problem, and says there is no known solution they know about. This is a very serious problem. In all instances, there are NO cars in sight in the oncoming lanes. These are all false alarms. The fact that there has not been a read-end collision yet is very surprising.

At 49,520 miles, dealer reported that tires were "chopped on inner edge and waring on outer edge". Tread depth was reported as 7/32 on front, and 6/32 on back. The Goodyear Eagle Sport run flat tires, 285/45-20, are commonly complained about on the Audit Q7 for poor wear patterns. It is notable that Audi does not recommend or include tire rotations in the every 10k mile maintenance services, which we pre-paid for. Tire rotations, it seems, is the only thing that can minimize the poor wear patterns. Tires are always kept properly inflated, and car is driven gently. Alignment is within specification. More than a little ticked off that the OEM tires do not perform adequately throughout the life of the tread. This is a known problem area, per the internet.

BOTH FRONT TIRES AT 19,600 MILES HAVE TREAD PEALING OFF THE TIRE. THIS IS OCCURRING ACROSS THE WHOLE TREAD OF THE FRONT TIRES .FROM THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE OF BOTH TIRES.THE REAR TIRES LOOK LIKE NEW. THE FRONT TIRES TREAD DEPTH INDICATERS SHOW THE TIRE TO BE EVENLY WORN ACROSS EACH FRONT TIRE. AUDI SAID THERE WAS A TSB CONCERNING THE TIRE WEAR OF THE FRONT TIRES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW REPLACEMENT TIRES AND ALIGNMENT.THERE WERE SOME SHEETS OF RUBBER SLOUGHING OFF THE TIRES AS THOUGH THEY BEING TORN FROM THE TIRES

WE HAVE A NEW 2019 AUDI Q7 BOUGHT IN DECEMBER 2018 THAT HAS NOW 11900 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED A FEW DAYS AGO THAT THE FRONT TIRES ARE COMPLETELY DAMAGED, FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE WHOLE TIRES ARE DAMAGED, NOT JUST ONE SPOT ON THE TIRE. THEY LOOK AS IF SOMEONE USED A CUTTER AND CUT THEM UP AND REMOVED BITS OF THE TIRE. IF I HAD NOT LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND SEE THE PROBLEM, I AM AFRAID THE TIRES WOULD HAVE BLOWN UP AT SOME POINT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

On my 2019 Audi Q7 anytime the headlights are activated either manually or automatically by the vehicle, it will pull up a "Right front parking light defective" error code. This code randomly showed up one day and has persisted ever since. Through research I have done on the issue it sounds like other 2017 Q7 models were also affected and recalled for this exact same issue. Clearly the issue is affecting later models as well that need to be included under the same recall. This issue puts my safety at risk by potentially limiting my visibility at night with a defective headlight.

I am filing a complaint and request for a recall on 2019 Audi Q7's side marker light. This is 2019 Model Audi Q7.It has about 60K miles. I start getting a warning message pops up frequently saying "Right front side marker light faulty See owner's manual". Searching online it appears many user with same model years facing the same problem, but could be on the left side. Some say dealer will not cover the repair even with extended warranty. Repair cost ranges from $3000 to $5000. The part is around $30. Due to this What people would normally do is just disable the light with some diagnostic tools. This is against the safety requirement and extremely dangerous in my opinion. This is most likely manufacturer's faulty design or defects since it is so prevailing among car owners of same model. Please see some of the online posts by owners with this issue. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

under 60k miles and have a coolant pump leak/failure due to a faulty bearing with excess movement.
Aug 04, 2022
With 49,520 miles, low coolant warning came on during vehicle start up. Periodic checks had not revealed a drop in coolant. Added coolant to minimum line, and drove to dealer for 50k mile servicing. Water pump had failed! Good thing it was under warranty. Replaced at no cost. It would have been a $1500 repair otherwise. Water pumps should not fail at 50k miles, not on a car this expensive. Audi had a massive recall on earlier model years of this car - it appears the current design is no better.

MY 2019 AUDI Q7 HAS THROTTLE DELAY PROBLEMS THAT HAVE RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS MORE THAN ONCE DUE TO NO RESPONSE OF ACCELERATOR UNTIL 3 OR 4 SECONDS AFTER DEPRESSING GAS PEDDLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM WHICH HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY OVER THE PAST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP.
Feb 07, 2020
MY AUDIO Q7 HAD THROTTLE DELAY ISSUES SOON AFTER PURCHASE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALER TOLD ME ALL TESTS WERE NORMAL AND RETURNED THE CAR. PROBLEMS CONTINUED, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. THERE IS TYPICALLY A DELAY OF ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR RESPONDS AND WHEN IT DOES I HAVE THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. ONE DELAY WAS ABOUT 6 SECONDS. ON ONE OCCASION I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE DELAY OCCURRED. AN ONCOMING CAR HAD TO BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING ME BROADSIDE. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT OCCURS ALMOST DAILY AT LEAST ONCE. IT CAN OCCUR FROM A DEAD STOP BUT MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE AUDI DEALER AND WAS GIVEN A Q8 AS A LOANER. THIS LOANER Q8 ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I COULD MINIMIZE THE PROBLEM BY TURNING OFF THE AUTO START STOP BUTTON AND DRIVING THE CAR IN S MODE. THIS HAD NOT HELPED THE PROBLEM WITH THE Q7. AN ACQUAINTANCE OF MINE BOUGHT A Q8 RECENTLY AND HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE TWO TIMES. I HAD THE ISSUE ABOUT 10 TIMES WITH THE LOANER Q8 AND HUNDREDS OF TIMES WITH THE Q7. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE Q7 AND HAVE PARKED IT IN MY DRIVEWAY. I DO NOT PLAN TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WILL DO WITH IT. I PURCHASED ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE INSTEAD.

Yesterday I bought a 2019 Audi Q7 and today I get a warning light stating my right parking lamp is defective. Upon checking the light I found that it was on and working. Upon researching the issue I found that there are numerous complaints on 2017 and 2018 models of the same vehicle, for the same issue. Dealership stating it is an entire right headlight replacement to the tune of over $ 2500.

In the first 10K miles the motherboard had to be replaced. Then the volume dial twice. Then the fuel sensor broke and because of its placement the entire gas tank had to be replaced. Next up at 45K the Medtronic (brains of the transmission had to be replaced and then the differential was having problems and they were debating working on it. I went to sell it at 48K miles before the warranty expired and during the inspection it was noted the two engine mounts were leaking and needed to be replaced. After I sold it to an Audi dealer, different than the Audi dealer I had purchased the car from and where I had all the warranty work done, I found out the CARFAX report showed NONE of the repairs made by the original Audi dealer to the car. Seems fradulent to me by the original Audi dealership who did all the major repairs.
