Common 2019 Audi A7 problems
The Audi A7 2019 has been reported to have several common problems based on complaints from owners of this car. Here are the problems in detail:
- Alternator and Hybrid Drive System Issues: Some owners have reported issues with the alternator and hybrid drive system, which can cause the car to randomly die while driving. This is a serious issue, especially for new car owners who expect a premium product.
- Fuel Gauge Sensor Recall: The 2019 Audi A7 models have an open recall for a fuel gauge sensor issue, which hasn't been fixed. This has led to most 2019 A7s being used or pre-owned, rather than certified pre-owned (CPO).
- Engine and Transmission Issues: Some owners have reported issues with the new engine and transmission in the Audi A7 2019. The engine can be noisy, and the inside plastic can make noise, which is not expected in a luxury car. Additionally, the wifi charger may not work properly on iOS devices .
- Suspension and Vibration Issues: The Audi A7 2019 has been reported to have suspension issues, including cracked suspension and vibrations in the engine mount. These issues can be expensive to fix, costing around $5K each.
- Small Issues: Some owners have reported small issues with the Audi A7 2019, such as headlights giving an error when turned off, the car requiring a sim card to avoid error messages, and expensive tire replacement.
- Reliability: While the Audi A7 2019 is considered a luxury car, its reliability has been questioned by some owners. The car may require expensive repairs and maintenance, and the warranty may not cover all issues.

Is Audi A7 a reliable car?
The probability of a repair being a severe or major issue is 14% for the Audi A7 Quattro, compared to an average of 14% for luxury fullsize cars and 12% for all vehicle models. The average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of a vehicle.
Is Audi A7 expensive to maintain?
Maintenance and repair costs for an Audi A7 will amount to $2,808 after 5 years. Expenses include scheduled maintenance, normal wear and tear items and expected repairs.
Which is the best Audi A7 engine?
In a similar vein there's also a petrol V6: the 335bhp 3.0-litre 55 TFSI. It's quicker than the 50 TDI (claimed 0-62mph takes 5.3sec), but you have to rev it harder to extract all its performance. We reckon the engine that strikes the best balance between costs and performance is the 242bhp 2.0-litre petrol (45 TFSI).
What is the difference between the 2018 and 2019 Audi A7?
The profile of the 2019 A7 isn't much different from the 2018 model. The new one continues the general shape of a liftback sedan with four doors and a sloping rear hatch. It borrows some styling cues from other recently refreshed Audi models like the A8, with a new face with thinner headlights and a bigger grille.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-25
- VIN: WAUV2AF23KN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: On a late dark night driving back home from supper my wife's low mileage Audi suddenly died on a busy and unlit street (Champions Forest Drive). We had to call an Uber to take us home. We also had to leave the abandoned vehicle overnight. Early the next morning a Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Deputy came to our house inquiring about the status of our abandoned car. An Audi tow truck hauled the car to their North Houston Audi dealership that same early morning where we were told that the problem was due to a defective alternator. They also told us that we would have to wait 3-4 months for repairs. They have, at their small dealership, over 50 cars waiting to be repaired. We were also informed there are 40,000 to 50,000 vehicles worldwide with this exact same problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-18
- VIN: WAUU2AF2XKN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE
- Summary: Received an electrical malfunction - please call service warning icon on dash display. In less than one mile, I received cascading sequential warnings - including transmission and steering warnings - please pull over now. I attempted to exit the freeway on the next ramp, on the I10 Freeway in Claremont, CA on the Monte Vista Exit - but the car completely lost all power and electric (dash and all screens were dark) blocking a traffic lane. Was stranded there for over 45 Minutes until AAA/Highway Patrol were able to obtain a tow truck. Car was towed to dealer and found out it is a known issue with the 48V Alternator System in 2019 Model Year Audis. Found out alternator is unavailable due to supply chain issues and car will be out of service for at least 4 weeks! Per research on Audi Forms, this is a known issue and Audi should be recalling these vehicles and performing the KNOWN software update (TSB Software Update 27-22-45 - Version 527) on all 2019-2020 Audi vehicles with this system. I was in fear of being rear-ended and injured - and to find out this should not have happened is very disappointing. Please require Audi to recall these vehicles and update the software so others are NOT put in this same life threatening situation - and then forced to wait until the vehicle can be fixed - currently at least 4 weeks! It has happened to MANY others - just check the Audi Owner Forums on the internet. Thank you for your consideration.

STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-10-05
- VIN: WAUV2AF27KN
- Components: STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: Starter Generator failure of the 48v Mild hybrid system. This issue is very common, and has a recall on the 2019+ audi a6 (however its because of a risk of electrical fire). Car sends errors to driver as many electrical components begin to fail and fault one by one, steering wheel dynamics shifted while in motion (as steering module failed), air suspension faults occurred. The car inevitably died during operation. Was stuck inside of vehicle, the internal door handles are powered by the 48v system, they are not mechanical latches. Car stalls out when the 48v battery fails. I have had this part replaced on my car, dealership says there are 8 just like it in the past 2 months. Very common issue for Audi's. As more of these find their way on the road, each car magnifies the risks to vehicle owners and other drivers as these issues are becoming more in more common in 3 year old Audi models.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-12-23
- VIN: WAUU2AF28KN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The electrical malfunction light came on while driving. Then my spoiler malfunction light came on. After that my dash board lit up like a Christmas tree. All kinds of lights came on. My car stopped in the middle of traffic. Had Audi care tow it to a Audi dealership. The SA says it's an alternator issue and there is no eta when the part will be in. They have over 30 cars at each Audi dealership around the city with no recall, or loaners. I may be without a car for a month or more.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-01-05
- VIN: WAUU2BF28KN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: "Electrical System Malfunction!" warning popped up, along with "Start/Stop Malfunction!". Car seemed to drive fine. Called dealership to make appointment to drop off car. Drove car another 8 miles, was on the way to the dealership when all components of the vehicle shut down, many warning lights then the vehicle went into limp mode and completely died. I was on a 50mph stretch of the highway and had to pull into the center median/divider for safety because there was no shoulder. Vehicle had to be towed. This appears to be an issue on many 2019+ Audis right now and turns out it is an alternator failure. I'm wondering if it's software related as it is happening on many Audi's right now.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-11-21
- VIN: WAUV2AF26KN
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: My vehicle had a complete electrical failure, when caused everything to shut down. The engine, door locks, hazards, power steering, e brake, etc. were all inoperable. On Sunday, Nov 20th, I received a yellow warning light that said, "electrical system malfunction, please contact service." I parked the car and called the dealer the following morning to ask how sever this warning was (could I drive the car or does this require a tow?). They advised me to bring the car in. While heading to the dealership, I received several other warning lights in rapid succession: electrical system malfunction, safely stop vehicle; parking aid malfunction, transmission malfunction, rear spoiler malfunction, and others. The vehicle died about 30 seconds after these warning lights appeared. I was on the highway in morning rush hour traffic at the time, but I was in the right lane and was able to coast to an off-ramp and park on the side of the road. With little to no control over the car, I could have easily been in accident. The dealer has confirmed that the cause was the start-stop generator, which caused a fault in the Mild Hybrid system and 48V battery. The car is still "bricked" and located at Audi New Orleans. It is available for inspection if needed (parts are not expected anytime soon).

STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-01
- VIN: WAUV2AF27KN
- Components: STEERING,POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: I had just purchased a used 2019 A7 Prestige and the next day (April 1st) while coming back from an appointment 7 miles away I had five electrically related failures in a very short time frame. The last error message was ominous so I was glad I was in my driveway when it happened. When the spoiler failure happened it automatically popped up. In addition to all these failures the AC was not working. So it seems to be an electrical system wide issue. Alas, this is a known issue with the 2019 A6, A7, and A8 models. I've posted the error messages in an online Audi owners site to spread the word and found many, many more people that have had this same issue. NOTE: The vehicle in/out mileage on the service report is incorrect. The correct numbers are 37702/37705. The car sat at the dealership for days before the repair parts arrived. There we NO loaner cars available which caused additional inconvenience.

POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-11-09
- VIN: WAUV2AF27KN
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: I received a warning and multiple dash lights indicating electrical malfunction. Upon coming to a red stoplight, the car died and would not restart. After the light turned green, I was nearly rear-ended by a large truck traveling at ~50 mph but luckily it was able to swerve out of the way. After about 10 minutes, the car restarted but the warning messages persisted. I drove immediately to the dealership for service where they diagnosed an issue with the mild hybrid 48v battery system and starter/generator/alternator. There are no parts available and it is sitting at the dealership along with at least 12 similar vehicles with the same issue. This needs to be recalled immediately as it is a major safety issue as I was nearly in a major accident due to the issue.

BACK OVER PREVENTION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-15
- VIN: WAUV2AF20KN
- Components: BACK OVER PREVENTION
- Summary: Intermittent failure of back-up camera. This can cause injury or fatality to a child behind the vehicle who cannot be seen when the camera is not working. This has been reported to the local Audi dealership but they say they cannot repair it unless they can reproduce the problem. I have photos of the failure notification that appears on the dashboard, what Audi calls the MMI. The front camera has also failed from time to time but the rear seems to me to be the more critical. I have provided these to the dealer. Below I have given the date of one failure but it has happened on multiple occasions.

POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-07-28
- VIN: WAUV2AF25KN
- Components: POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: SIMILAR TO A COMPLAINT I READ ABOVE, I DO OFTEN HAVE CONCERNS OVER THE START/ STOP SYSTEM. WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM IS ACTIVE, IT'S EXTREMELY SENSITIVE IN ACTIVATING (NOT ONLY WHEN CARS ARE IN FRONT BUT ALSO PEDESTRIANS JUST WALKING BY. HOWEVER, SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS AFTER THE ENGINE REENGAGES, THE CAR OFTEN HAS A SERIOUS LAG AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, TO THE POINT WHERE I HAVE TO WONDER IF IT'S ACTUALLY ON (IT IS) THE CONCERN IS THAT DRIVERS BEHIND ME, IF NOT EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS COULD REAR END ME. I'VE BEEN HONKED AT SEVERAL TIMES, DUE TO THIS ISSUE ON NORMAL ROADS. THANKFULLY, NO INCIDENTS OR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED, BUT I FEAR IT COULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME, IF THIS PERSISTS, PARTICULARLY IN STOP AND GO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.
2020-02-01
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2020-01-27
- VIN: WAUV2AF27KN
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: THE START STOP SYSTEM IS ALWAYS ACTIVE UPON EACH DRIVING SESSION OF THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER AT TIMES THE HYBRID SYSTEM WHEN IT KICKS IN, DOESN'T ACTIVATE THE ENGINE QUICKLY ENOUGH SO WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL IT IS NOT RESPONSIVE AND I CAN'T PROPEL FORWARD. THIS IS OF CONCERN WHEN I'M NOT AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE START STOP SYSTEM KICKS IN DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2019-12-10
- VIN: WAUV2AF21KN
- Components: STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: YESTERDAY MORNING, WHILE DRIVING NORTH ON I-35 TO WORK, THERE WAS A LOUD "POP" FROM DIRECTLY ABOVE MY WINDSHIELD. THIS SCARED ME TO DEATH! THE SOUND WAS SO FRIGHTENING THAT I DUCKED AND FOR A MOMENT, I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A WRECK BUT QUICKLY NOTICED NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY HAD OCCURRED. TYPICALLY, TRAFFIC IS VERY HEAVY, ONLY MOVING ABOUT 20MPH. HOWEVER, ON THIS PARTICULAR MORNING, TRAFFIC WAS SOMEWHAT LIGHTER AND MOVING ABOUT 40MPH. I HAD CLEAR VISIBILITY ACROSS THE FRONT WINDOW AND COULD TELL THAT NOTHING HAD FLOWN IN MY DIRECTION. I WAS NOT TRAILING BEHIND OR AROUND ANY SUVS, DUMP TRUCKS, OR OTHER LARGE VEHICLES THAT COULD HAVE KICKED UP A ROCK. I ALSO HAD NOT DRIVEN UNDER AN OVERPASS, SO I KNEW NOTHING COULD HAVE FALLEN FROM ABOVE. ONCE I ARRIVED AT WORK, I DISCOVERED THE FRONT SECTION OF MY PANORAMIC ROOF WAS CRACKED AND SHATTERED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE WIDTH OF THE VEHICLE AND PRESSED INWARD, EXPOSING THE INTERIOR LINING.
