Power Train problem #1

In the first 10k miles the motherboard had to be replaced. Then the volume dial twice. Then the fuel sensor broke and because of its placement the entire gas tank had to be replaced. Next up at 45k the medtronic (brains of the transmission had to be replaced and then the differential was having problems and they were debating working on it. I went to sell it at 48k miles before the warranty expired and during the inspection it was noted the two engine mounts were leaking and needed to be replaced. After I sold it to an Audi dealer, different than the Audi dealer I had purchased the car from and where I had all the warranty work done, I found out the carfax report showed none of the repairs made by the original Audi dealer to the car. Seems fradulent to me by the original Audi dealership who did all the major repairs.

Power Train problem #2

My Audio Q7 had throttle delay issues soon after purchase. The service department at the dealer told me all tests were normal and returned the car. Problems continued, especially at low speeds. There is typically a delay of about 3 seconds before the car responds and when it does I have the pedal to the floor and the car lunges forward. One delay was about 6 seconds. On one occasion I was turning left into a busy intersection and the delay occurred. An oncoming car had to brake to avoid hitting me broadside. The problem is intermittent but occurs almost daily at least once. It can occur from a dead stop but more frequently occurs at low speeds. I took the car back to the Audi dealer and was given a q8 as a loaner. This loaner q8 also had the same problem. I could minimize the problem by turning off the auto start stop button and driving the car in s mode. This had not helped the problem with the Q7. An acquaintance of mine bought a q8 recently and has had the same issue two times. I had the issue about 10 times with the loaner q8 and hundreds of times with the Q7. I feel unsafe driving the Q7 and have parked it in my driveway. I do not plan to drive it again. At this point I do not know what I will do with it. I purchased another vehicle to drive instead.

Power Train problem #3

My 2019 Audi Q7 has throttle delay problems that have resulted in near accidents more than once due to no response of accelerator until 3 or 4 seconds after depressing gas peddle when attempting to merge into traffic. The dealer could not duplicate this problem which has occurred randomly over the past year of ownership.
