Our Q7 3. 0t prestige engine blew while driving and left us stranded on a country road at 12:45 in the morning. Then to add insult to injury, after fighting with Audi care for the last month they only agreed to reimburse us $200 out of a $525 tow bill because we didn't call them to schedule the tow. We didn't even know that service existed and at 12:45 am with a car that just died and was in the road, we just wanted to contact the closest place and get our car off the road as we were worried about our safety and getting hit by another vehicle.
Coolant leaking @ 50k miles and also their warning system is not as effective. I got into a fender bender 2 months in owning the car as brand new.
When attempting to crossover a busy intersection, and trying to determine the distance between the oncoming traffic and myself, the 2018 Audi Q7, has a hesitation before the vehicle starts it acceleration. I have had two occasions where the vehicle just would start a slow acceleration but would hesitate before engaging at its higher acceleration. This causing the oncoming vehicles nearly hitting my vehicle. I have taken this to the local Audi dealership and said that is normal. I validated the operation, when they let me test a new Audi Q7, and had similar or worse symptoms. Their only work around is to engage the vehicle into "sport" mode. That mode helps with the response. Basically if, I step on the gas peddle, I should expect it to drive and be responsive and not hesitate. Having that hesitation, make it very difficult to determine when accelerate.
