general problems of the 2018 Audi Q7

My 2018 Audi Q7 3. 0t quattro is experiencing extreme oil consumption — dropping from full to minimum level in approximately 230 miles. This is approximately 14x beyond Audi's own threshold for excessive oil consumption of 0. 5 quarts per 1,000 miles. Documented timeline: may 2026 (88,692 miles): oil change required 2. 2 extra quarts beyond standard 7. 2qt fill. Low oil light triggered during highway travel. June 27, 2026 (90,200 miles): authorized Audi dealer formally documented "oil consumption is very high" in their service system and scheduled an official oil consumption test. June 28, 2026 (90,351 miles): Audi mmi system showed oil near minimum after only 151 miles. June 30, 2026 (90,397 miles): Audi mmi showed oil at stage 2 warning after 197 miles. June 30, 2026 (90,430 miles): Audi mmi showed oil at minimum line after 230 miles total. All readings documented with timestamped photographs from Audi's own mmi system. The authorized Audi dealer has documented repeated oil top-offs in their service system. Audi USA customer care was contacted on June 30, 2026 and denied goodwill repair citing no active recall and vehicle out of warranty. An open case has been filed with Audi USA. The engine lubrication system appears defective. Oil dropping to minimum in under 230 miles without adequate warning poses serious safety risk of catastrophic engine failure while driving at highway speeds. The authorized Audi dealer has scheduled an official oil consumption test and inspection for July 2, 2026. Results will be available upon request. Vehicle is available for inspection upon request.

The crankcase ventilation valve is malfunctioning resulting in excessive oil consumption and unsafe idling. The extended warranty dated 5/24/19 with number awa-19-03 should be extended to other model years.

Fuel pump failed and is leaking on my 2018 Audi Q7. Audi has confirmed it will need to be replaced at my cost. Audi also confirmed it has an extended warranty to replace the faulty fuel pump on other model years on the same Q7 vehicle model, for 150,000 miles. It appears that to rectify the issue, the same part is replaced as on the warranty fix. Why was model year 2018 not included in the warranty if it is the same part?.

The problem: I was driving and noticed a high remaining fuel range, or a fuel gauge that appears to be stuck at a specific level, I ran out of gas while in motion, and my engine stalled almost causing a crash on the highway. My vehicle was towed to the kansas city Audi dealer and they have identified the same issue in the recall in the NHTSA campaign number: 22v155. Audi’s own number for this recall is 20dn. The dealer has quoted $5,000 to make the repair (my vehicle is currently at the dealer). My 2018 Q7 has the same engine as the 2018 a7 where there is a recall regarding the same reported issue. "the fuel level sender, which is located inside the vehicle’s gas tank, may get stuck on the gas tank’s ventilation pipe, leading the dashboard display to show an incorrect gas level and remaining range level. ".

Kept light appears on dash that add 1 qt of oil for 6 times. Before this light appears, car always suddenly stopped while im driving or parked. Last saturaday 1/11, my car was suddenly stopped on highway and engine was running and so loud after car stopped but cannot change any gears for few seconds. I'm so frustrated and scared to operate this vehicle. I went to Audi service but they don't found any problems and refilled oil again. In my 6 times of this experience, light will be appeared and car will be stopped while operating again. Must be fixed this matter by Audi.
