3 Body problem of the 2018 Audi Q7

Failure Date: 08/22/2024

My 8-year-old's finger was in the door frame and the door came close enough to engage the soft close feature and she tried to pull her finger out as we watched the door slowly continue closing on it. After 4 x-rays the doctor determined it was not fractured, but it is badly bruised, swollen, and was cut. This should not be possible that it doesn't sense her finger. On a car not equipped with soft closing, this incident wouldn't have occurred.

5 Body problem of the 2018 Audi Q7

Failure Date: 07/31/2023

Did not have an issue until I heard an exhaust rattle today. Upon inspection, the exhaust pipe tip on the right side could be physically manipulated upwards and downwards but appeared to be rusty. The exhaust pipe extension (Audi part 4m0253682m) eventually fell off completely within 50 miles of initially noticing and fell onto the roadway, as I was pulling into a parking lot causing a hazard. Upon picking the item up, the clamp and exhaust pipe were rusted through.

8 Body problem of the 2017 Audi Q7

Failure Date: 11/10/2020

My sunroof/moonroof spontaneously exploded as I was sitting completely stationary at a traffic light on a perfectly sunny day. Nothing hit my car or the sunroof. I was less than 2 miles from my house on a secondary road with minimal traffic. The sound was like a gunshot, which is what I thought it was for a brief moment. The glass exploded with such force that fine shards of glass were embedded in the leather and my skin. Sunglasses saved my eyes, and I was able to remove most of the glass with a lint roller from my arms and hands and face.

12 Body problem of the 2017 Audi Q7

Failure Date: 01/22/2019

Automatic rear door lifts open by itself intermittently while the vehicle is parked and locked. I took the vehicle to mckenna Audi in norwalk (1/22/19). Technicians could not find fault. Cannot repair if not broken or showing fault. We still have the problem, it happened three different times, twice at home inside the garage and once at a restaurant parking lot. Remotes were not used or press accidently to activate the rear door opener. The last time the rear door open by itself, I tried to use the remote to close it, but the door will not close and made a latching noise, like it was trying to lock the door. I was able to close the door manually, after it closed, the remote worked and I was able to opened and closed the rear door automatically.

13 Body problem of the 2007 Audi Q7

Failure Date: 01/11/2019

The rear sunroof leaks around the seal and leaks down into the electronics of the car. The drain tubes are ran through the electronics compartment causing it to short out the system and causing the check engine light and tire sensor lights to come on and not be able to be reset. The sunroof not only leaks from the drain tubes but also around the seal, also causing the water to drain into the electrical compartment which causes the same issue even after the drain tubes are repaired. You can find this issue listed all over the internet help sites as well as you tube. This is a very common issue with this model vehicle, and is a design flaw that Audi is refusing to fix and passing on the cost to the consumer. To repair the amp and water leak is upwards of $6000. The consumer should not be responsible for assuming the expense of a manufacturer design flaw. The leak occurs in the rear sunroof of this model Audi and is a issue that is listed all over the internet and Audi has not made it a recall.
