2017 Audi Q7 3. 0 qtro--while traveling to FL, the pre sense warning light indicating failure began flickering on and off. Within several weeks, it was on constantly. Subsequently, a "whooping" sound became constant in the pillar behind the driver side door. Upon returning to OH, I reported this to my dealer. I was told the driver side seat belt tensioner has malfunctioned. Dealer states this is also the cause of the pre sense frontal safety system failure. Vehicle now out of warranty. Quoted repair for this safety issue is $1200. I learned this is a commonly known problem, and believe it should be associated with the NHTSA recall 16v955000. My vehicle is not listed on any Audi recalls at this point. The dealer initially texted the repair quote, but the link expired, and the dealer is not interested in putting this in writing again to me. Thus not documents to upload at this point, but will continue to request documentation of the dealer's diagnosis.
Audi pre-sense failure warning came on. I took it to Audi fairfield CT and it was diagnosed as having a bad camera/sensor in the windshield. This could have resulted in a collision. The repair would have cost almost $3000. I bought a used one and went to an independent shop for calibration.
