Audi Q7 problems
The Audi Q7 is a crossover SUV made by the German manufacturer Audi, unveiled in September 2005 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Production of this seven-seater SUV began in the autumn of 2005 at the Volkswagen Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The Q7 was the first SUV sold by Audi and went on sale in 2006. Later, Audi's second SUV, the Q5, was unveiled as a 2009 model. Audi has since unveiled a third SUV model, the Q3, which went on sale in the third quarter of 2011, and a fourth SUV model, the Q2, which went on sale in November 2016. The Q7 shares a Volkswagen Group MLB platform and chassis with the Bentley Bentayga, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne and the Volkswagen Touareg.
The Q7 is the second largest vehicle from Audi, after its exterior size was being surpassed by the Q6 since 2022. While the Q7 has been the flagship SUV in Audi's product portfolio, a top-of-the-line model with a lower roof, called the Audi Q8, was released in 2018.
It was one of the vehicles involved in the Volkswagen emissions scandal, with the company ordered to buy back some of the affected cars manufactured between 2009 and 2012. The Q7 is also subject to hundreds of NTSB complaints with many relating to potentially catastrophic engine failure issues, and a class-action lawsuit related to squealing brakes.

Common Audi Q7 problems
The Audi Q7, a luxury midsize SUV, has been in production since 2005 and is known for its advanced technology and spacious interior. However, like any vehicle, the Audi Q7 can experience common problems. This article will discuss some of the most frequently reported issues with the Audi Q7, focusing on electrical problems, engine oil consumption, turbocharger issues, transmission problems, and brake pedal pulsing.
- Electrical Issues: Electrical problems in the Audi Q7 can manifest as issues with lighting, infotainment systems, or power windows. These issues can be frustrating and affect the overall driving experience. They are often marked by the check engine light. When facing electrical problems, consult a qualified technician experienced with Audi’s complex electrical systems. Regular maintenance can help prevent these issues by identifying and addressing potential problems early.
- Engine Oil Consumption: Oil leaks are a common concern among Audi Q7 owners. They are often the result of gasket failures, issues with the oil filter housing, or valve cover gaskets. You would often notice a popping noise from the engine bay near the intake manifold when there’s low oil. Always keep track of your last oil change. Solution: Address oil leaks by having the gaskets and seals inspected and replaced as necessary. Regular oil changes with high-quality oil can help maintain gasket health and prevent leaks.
- Turbocharger Problems: Some Q7 models equipped with turbochargers may experience issues, such as reduced performance and unusual noises. Solution: Preventing turbocharger problems involves using high-quality oil, adhering to recommended maintenance intervals, and regular inspection of the turbocharger for signs of wear.
- Transmission Issues: Transmission problems in the Audi Q7 can manifest as rough shifting, slipping, or delayed engagement. These issues can be caused by various factors, including worn clutch plates, low transmission fluid, or faulty solenoids. Solution: Address transmission issues by having the transmission inspected and serviced as necessary. Regular maintenance, including transmission fluid changes, can help prevent these issues.
- Brake Pedal Pulsing: The brake pedal pulsing when you push down on it can be caused by worn or damaged front brake discs. This issue is more commonly reported in the Audi Q7. Solution: Replace the worn or damaged brake discs and check the brake pads for excessive wear.
Regular maintenance and timely resolution of these issues are essential to ensure a satisfying ownership experience with the Audi Q7. Staying ahead of maintenance is key to preserving the joy of owning an Audi Q7.

- Summary: We were driving down the expressway when the car began to vibrate. We pulled over and had lights on the dash. We had it towed to a dealership where it was diagnosed as a burnt valve and ruined motor. I believe a new Audi engine quote was around $26,000. We took very good care of this car. This is a common issue and will become more common as these engines fail.

- Components: TIRES
- Summary: Yokohama Parada Spec-x tire, R275/45/R20 tread separation from belt. Second tire to do so since the start of 2024. Had to buy another brand name and tire after second tire separated from belts on 07/03/2024, causing me to spend $983.59 on new tires.

Audi Q7 2011
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-05
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-18
- VIN: WA1WMBFE0BD
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The Bosch CP4 High Pressure Fuel Pump failed suddenly at interstate speed (65-70mph) as I was driving up a hill in 3 lanes of traffic. The car stalled immediately and lost all motive power. I had to limp across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the shoulder right away, risking collision from passing vehicles. I could provide the damaged pump for inspection if needed. It's a common failure of the CP4 design, disintegrating and pushing tiny metal shards throughout the fuel system including injectors. The CP4 has been recalled on many vehicles previously. The problem has been diagnosed by the Audi dealership and confirmed the Bosch CP4 pump failed and destroyed the entire fuel system. The car has been dealership maintained since new and had no warning signs of failure, or lights. It was running perfectly prior to this incident. Because of the location of the incident there was a 5 hour delay in roadside assistance, in which my family sat on the side of the road.

Audi Q7 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-02
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-16
- VIN: WA1LAAF76HD
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: There is an existing recall for certain Audi Q7 front side marker lights (Audi recall campaign 97CB, NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000) but this recall is too narrow. It does not include my vehicle but I have the same problem. Many other Q7 owners do as well. The Audi dealership will not honor repair or replacement, not even under warranty. The only way to fix this problem according to Audi is to purchase a new light assembly for over $6,000. Please expand the existing recall to cover all impacted owners.

Audi Q7 2019
- Date Of Incident: 2023-10-13
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-14
- VIN: WA1VAAF7XKD
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: 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.
Audi Q7 2019
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-09
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-11
- VIN: WA1AHAF71KD
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: 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.
Audi Q7 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-10
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-10
- VIN: WA1LABF79HD

Audi Q7 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-04
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-05
- VIN: WA1VAAF70HD
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: My 7 year old car now display the below error and Audi says it will cost $6000 to fix this. $6K to fix a broken light is unacceptable especially because it is a known issue. Audi recall campaign 97CB (NHTSA campaign ID 16V642000) addresses this exact issue.
Audi Q7 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-02
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-04
- VIN: WA1LAAF72HD
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: My 2017 Audi Q7 is reporting a "front right side marker light defective" message. This happened after the car was brought into the dealer. The light is functional according to the dealer and visual inspection but I was told this is a nuisance error message. The dealer said even though it is working fine, I can pay $4,000 to have the light replaced to make the message go away. Or the other option is to just live with it, which means when it does go out I won't know that it has failed. This seems like a defective part that should be recalled.
Audi Q7 2017
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-14
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-01
- VIN: WA1LAAF74HD
- Components: EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: I keep getting a "Front right side marker light defective." error. There is nothing wrong with the lamp but Audi wants to charge $4,000 to fix. This appears to be happening to other Q7 owners so I am reporting.

The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 111,000.

Vehicle year: 2019
I’ve owned nearly every luxury vehicle on the market. In the last 4 years I’ve purchased four (4) new Audi’s and still have them. I absolutely love my loaded Prestige 2017 Q7 so much, that I just purchased a 2019 Q7 loaded Prestige and will be keeping the 2017 model as well! It's the best ride, extremely quiet, superiorly powerful, roomy and has all the tech you’ll need or want. I must say, Audi Customer Service is the best I’ve ever experienced. You should definitely drive one and see for yourself!

Vehicle year: 2014
This is a phenomenal vehicle! The engine still delights me with its lots of torque, making it feel sporty despite its size. With a 7000 lb towing capacity and the ability to seat 7, it's perfect for long road trips. Plus, it gets an impressive 32 mpg on the highway. I've even driven it through a 400 mile stretch of desert through AZ and NM twice and it still gets almost as good mileage in town as my A8 gets on the highway. The wifi hotspot is a great feature, and my wife uses it with her iPad often. Although the wifi is T-Mobile, so the coverage isn't great, it's still perfect for looking at restaurant reviews and researching hotels. I also love the Google-driven Nav, which makes exploring easier and adds visual interest. It's especially helpful when driving at night or in the rain.

Vehicle year: 2023
I absolutely love the exterior look and the luxurious interior of this car. It drives like a dream, feeling nimble and easy to steer. The drive is incredibly smooth, and even at 90 mph it feels like you're only going 60 in a regular car. While the infotainment system has a bit of a learning curve, once you have everything customized, it's easy to live with. The virtual cockpit with Google Earth maps is a definite highlight. The car is also very comfortable, with plenty of room for five adults. Even adults can fit in the rear if the 2nd row seats are moved forward, and the 2nd row seats fold forward a great deal, making entry to the 3rd row easy. The dual pane glass on the windshield and both front and rear windows make for a very quiet ride. Although there are a few things I don't like, such as the nearly non-existent storage in the front with a tiny center console, the lack of a tire gauge pressure reading, and no remote start, I still feel that this is a great car overall. I've had it for about 7 months now, and my initial impressions were good. However, I did experience some reliability issues with the check engine light coming on after about 5000 miles. The dealership was great with free loaner cars with free gas, but it did take a couple of visits to fix the issue. Despite this, I'm still very happy with my purchase and look forward to enjoying it for years to come.The sound system improved as the speakers were broken in. I learned how to drive it to achieve great fuel mileage on the highway, easily achieving 25 to 27 mpg. The cooled seats work really well and the car is built like a tank, preventing door dings and minor accidents. Even when I was involved in a minor accident due to somebody illegally driving into my lane, the car just bounced off the other car with a couple of minor scratches that are nearly invisible. Any other car I owned would have had a crumpled side panel. Over time, I have noticed a few things I don't like such as the auto start-stop being really rough, although you can turn it off. The fuel mileage in city driving is really bad, especially for short trips, where I am getting under 15 mpg. Voice navigation sometimes works well and sometimes not, depending on whether you get a good network connection with Google. Wireless charging in conjunction with wireless Apple Carplay makes the phone really hot. However, these are fairly minor gripes. Overall, once you drive this car, most other cars will feel inadequate and inferior.

Vehicle year: 2009
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I just wanted to share my experience with the 07 3.6 that I rented for two weeks in March. I found the ride to be much smoother and the handling less stiff compared to the 07 I rented previously. The standard front sensors and rear parking camera are incredible features that made my driving experience much easier. I also found the front bucket seats to be very comfortable. The standard 20 inch wheels are a great touch at medium and high speeds, although they can be a little rigid at speeds below 45mph. However, I still think they're better than the 19s or 18s when it comes to handling. The acceleration, S turn capability, and ride were all perfect, and the stereo system was top-notch. If you're planning on driving around town, I highly recommend getting the 3.6. The only downside was that the second row leg room could have been better for an SUV of this size. Overall, I would give it an A+ grade. Thanks for reading!

Vehicle year: 2008
I love the car, but I am disappointed that with a Britax diplomat infant rear-facing seat (one of the smallest, most narrow on the market) installed in the center position (the safest), I can only use one of the two adjacent seats. The other seat is unusable because you cannot access the seat belt buckle! Even in my old A6 wagon, this was not a problem. Furthermore, with a car seat in the center location, it is impossible to move the seats forward to access the third row. You can move the car seat to the left or right, but then your two rear passengers (imagine grandma and grandpa) are squished together, and the one in the center has a very small seat. This is a frustrating problem to have in an SUV.
Are you having problems with your Audi Q7?
Jamar Larson 2025-05-07

Nice car but has some issues. The seats are uncomfortable and need more adjustments, and there are no storage compartments. In my opinion, there are too many IT functions. Unfortunately, in the first 4800 miles, I had to add 2.5 quarts of oil. I am waiting to see what Audi will do about it.
Corbin Stamm 2025-05-06

Hi there! I recently leased a new 2018 Audi Q7 from Audi Manhattan, but unfortunately, it broke down on my first trip within 100 miles. After contacting the dealership, they informed me that the computer hard drive was the issue. I requested a replacement vehicle, but was directed to Audi Corporate who promised to respond within a week. After waiting a week, I followed up and was directed to Audi leasing. I'm still waiting for a resolution, but I'm hopeful that we can find a solution soon. Thanks for your help!

The driver door is still rattling despite having taken the car to two different dealers five times to get it fixed. It's frustrating to have spent so much money on a car that still has issues. However, I do like the car overall.
Alessandro Dare 2025-05-02
Vehicle year: 2017
I've been the proud owner of a 2017 Q7 for 7 months now, and it has 6500 miles on it. I absolutely love the aesthetics and the driving experience, but I have had some issues with the electronics. Unfortunately, the steering wheel controls have malfunctioned four times, and the rear camera doesn't work properly when it rains. Additionally, the volume button has stopped working temporarily on three occasions, and the oil change light went off when it wasn't due for an oil change. There is also a clicking noise when I start the car, which I find a bit concerning. I've taken the car to Audi three times, but the issues persist. Despite these challenges, I'm hopeful that Audi will be able to resolve these issues soon. Thank you for your understanding.
Benny Jacobson 2025-05-01
Vehicle year: 2013
Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my Audi Q7 S-Line that I purchased back in 2011. While I've had a few repairs and recalls, I've found that the electrical system has been a bit problematic. In 2014, I had to change the first sensor door handle, but thankfully it was covered under warranty. Recently, I had to replace all four handles and the battery, which ended up being a bit costly at over $2,500. I've noticed that this seems to be a common issue with this model, and I've reached out to Audi Customer Service to see if they can help. While it's been over a month and I haven't received a decision yet, I'm hopeful that they'll be able to assist me. Despite these issues, I still believe that Audi is a premium car brand and I'm proud to own one.
