1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 11/30/2023

I purchased a used 2017 Audi Q7 premium on 11/16/2023 from a Volkswagen. Since it showed the message "brake pads: wear limit reached. You can continue driving. Please contact service", the agreed to repair it. I didn't receive my vehicle until 2 weeks later. They said that the work was done but after driving it for a couple of days the message is still showing. After driving it off the lot, minutes later I get a message "front left side marker light defective. See owner's manual". After examining the side markers it doesn't look the neither side is out and there is no way showing on how to clear the message. I haven't taken it to an Audi dealership as of yet. But worried on if I made the right purchase.

2 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/25/2018

Bought vehicle from dealer with 22k miles, as a previous two year lease vehicle. After owning it for four days, noticed loud screech in brakes when backing up and applying brakes first time in the day. Took to local shop, and they found brakes to be ok, and that there is a bulletin on this with no fix at this time. But what they did find is very uneven wear on my front tire, which we would not have noticed. They said there was a bulletin on this at the 14k mileage mark for tire replacement on the goodyear eagles. We were fortunate that the dealer we purchased from agreed to replace all four tires for us with continentals. No hassles at all. Could have missed the notice since it was a lease vehicle. But I wonder how long we would have gone without knowing this??? if it wasn't for getting the brakes checked, we wouldn't have known. Waiting now for a fix on the brake noise. Kind of embarrassing when driving an expensive vehicle.

3 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2017

When moving the car in reverse from overnight parking in my garage, the brakes squeal excessively. This sound does not occur when braking while moving in a forward direction. The car stops appropriately, but the sound it quite loud in reverse braking mode. The sunroof creeks and pops during city driving and highway driving. I just read an article on consumerreports. Com about exploding sunroof problems and I'm concern that this could happen due to lack of reporting and manufacturers not taking ownership of the defect. Popping sounds coming from my sunroof have me concerned about my panoramic sunroof exploding during travel in the vehicle.

4 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2017

8500 miles brake squeal. Audi says there working on a fix for this issue and its been 6 months and still no repair they are ignoring the issue. Slow speed stop and reverse brakes squeal loud. Audi stated they have had this issue and I should have been told when purchased. I have a case number with them and its being ignored. This is an issue that will result in a problem if its not investigated they need to stop telling people this is normal. I asked Audi for a letter stating my care was safe to drive and they could not provide one witch is very concerning.
