Warranty will be over in 60 days; the catalyst coverter is going back, the Audi dealer and Audi corporate are delaying the fixture do to some mis communication between dealer and corporate. The problem has to do with def gases not being cleanup. The error code is p20ee00 and the engine light is on. The part is under warranty and Audi corporate is delaying the fixt because the do not wish to pay for the cost. They have had my vehicle for a full week and no decision when to replace the part. I strongly believe they want the warranty to expire so the customer has to pay for cost of the catalyst. The dealer has verified that part is under warranty but corporate does not response to the dealer. 0.

After buying my new 2015 Audi Q7 on 9/27/14, I started experiencing hesitations when pulling out into traffic from dead stops. The very first time it happened I was in the median of a 4-lane highway waiting to turn left into traffic. I pressed the accelerator it started into the lane of traffic then stopped. I sat there for about 2-3 seconds before it took off. I expected to get hit. It wasn't the gas nor me. I have been driving for 38 years and driven over 20 vehicles and have never experienced this before. It continues to happen randomly and always unexpectedly sometimes 1 time a week sometimes 3 times a week. The hesitation is as much as 3-4 seconds. On 4/18/15 I brought it in to Audi of new orleans. They called stating that they could not duplicate the problem and to come pick it up. I picked it up right at closing. Upon leaving the dealership, I stopped to wait for traffic, proceeded to make my right turn, and it happened. On 5/25/15 I brought it to Audi of baton rouge, which is where I bought it. They called me on 5/29/15 and told that they could not duplicate what I was experiencing; that the technician knew what I was talking about, but that is just the way the Q7s are; and that the technician wanted to ride around with me when I come to pick it up. That afternoon and I drove around with the technician first in another Q7 then in my Q7. I could not reproduce it with either car. However, the technician did tell me that he knew what I was experiencing and that that is just how the Q7s are and that the reason is because when I press the accelerator the computer takes control and decides if it will give me the power I need to proceed. I believe that no car should hesitate and put people in jeopardy by not giving the engine the gas it needs to perform as it should. I also feel that Audi should make all drivers and future drivers of Q7s aware of its behavior.
