general problems of the 2007 Audi Q7

Water leakage into the driver’s side floor panel. Water leakage seeped into battery compartment below driver’s seat which is a result of a sunroof drain problem. New battery was installed for only 3 months before the low battery charge warning light came on. Car will not start at times. Water leakage into electrical components that lead to the mmi not turning on or working at all. The mmi shut off first, then the battery became faulty. The car has been jumped at least 10 times due to the water damage, which proposes a risk to the driver. The electrical components are being flooded, which is a safety issue and proposes a safety hazard to the driver and all passengers. The electrical is at risk for further damage. This problem has been reported by others many times. Other warning lights such as the air bag light comes on and goes off, which is a safety risk if the air bags are faulty and the driver cannot tell if the malfunction is electronics based caused by water damage.

I purchased a "fixd" device to determine any problems w/ my vehicle. I came upon this page and noted that there had been a recall of this vehicle back in sept. 2016. I purchased this vehicle from a dealer on November 19, 2016. In looking into recall notices associated w/ this VIN it stated that the recall was "incomplete. " I am now reporting this as the recall should have been taken care of, especially by a dealer, before I even purchased it. I have had a number of problems with this vehicle right from the onset. Please, look into this for me. Thank you.

The exhaust system accumulates water and when temperatures are below 32 degrees water will freeze and car will not operate. Two gallons of water was removed from the exhaust system in order for the car to run.

Draining system in the roof of vehicle seems to be a design/engineering flaw. In under 4 years, water leaked into the interior front and rear of car causing issues with the amplifier and who knows what else. Dealer says it was not covered under warranty and estimates $1600 to fix the drain issues and $2200 for the blown amplifier.

As many people have already registered complaints about, even with cleaning our sunroof drains regularly, the glue failed causing us to not only endure the expense of a well-documented issue with the vehicle, but now we have been without a stereo since we feel we are entitled to at least that much, however, Audi of America disagrees. Considering how many issues there have been with sunroof leaks in the past and the fact that this is an ongoing problem for Q7 owners, I feel, as many others do I'm sure, that this problem needs to be looked into further by the NHTSA.
