general problems of the 2007 Audi Q7

This started happening in the last 2 mos. My mmi started acting up, it first displayed radio not installed, then it would stall and not show anything on screen, then it came back on to regular showing but then went out again and displaying radio not installed. Then at one point I was able to play my cds but not my radio. Then finally the complete system went out, now the screen only shows the mmi logo and will not turn on and cant not be reset. So as this has happen, my fuel tank area started to drips tiny drops of gas only happens when I drove it, so now it is leaking even more fuel so I have it sitting in drive way until I get it into the shop. While its been sitting in the drive way for the last 2 weeks, I would occasionally start it but this last time I started it my battery went dead and it started leaking even more gas after I got it jumped. As long as it is not on it does not leak gas.

Fuel linking & the smell is inside the car.

Dear NHTSA team. My vehicle demonstrated a fuel smell in September 2020. I alerted Audi that I believed it was covered under either 20w9 or 20bj. They said it was not. I took it to a private repair shop that charged me $71 to diagnose the problem. The repair shop (team previously worked for Audi) shared that the problem was covered under a recall. I then took the car into the dealer and Audi fixed it under the recall. I sought reimbursement of my diagnosis fee of $71 for over three months. Audi failed to respond on multiple occasions when I first raised the issue, and later when I sought reimbursement. Finally, on 12/16/20 I was advised that Audi would not reimburse the diagnosis fee notwithstanding the repair was covered under the recall. They also allowed the unsafe situation to continue for weeks by refusing to repair under the recall. I bring this to your attention as a safety issue from a protocol standpoint, and ask for your help in securing my $71 reimbursement, which I feel falls under either of the recall campaigns for this vehicle and this recall issue.

There is a gas odor that is overwhelming when the truck starts. The gas mix with oil fumes will cause headaches because the odor comes into the vents of the truck and does not stop until after the truck is turned off. When the vehicle is turned off there is a hissing sound in the engine that does not stop until after 15min the engine stays off. There is no overheating but the engine is hotter then most trucks when running.

Large fuel leak in the engine compartment: while starting the vehicle in a parking lot, the engine was difficult to start but then started. The driver began to depart by backing out of the parking space, then a strong gasoline smell was present, as the two front windows were rolled down. The front passenger noticed liquid flowing out from under the front of the vehicle on the passenger side while the car moved forward by about 2-3 parking spaces. The driver immediately stopped, shut down the engine and investigated. The strong smelling liquid appears to be gasoline leaking from under the engine compartment. The vehicle was parked on the spot as the two occupants evacuated the vehicle. While outside, the sound of gasoline splashing down could be heard. A tow truck was called, and the vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership. Dealership personnel helped pushed the vehicle in neutral gear (without starting) into the service area pending inspection. Dealership report showed fuel injector #1 leaking. Service advisor confirmed it was injector leak, not seals. This is a very serious fire risk.

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.
