Audi Q7 owners have reported a total of 1,218 problems for their cars built in the 18 model years listed in the chart below. The chart shows the number of problems reported across all service years for each given model year of the Audi Q7. The 2017 Audi Q7 cars have the most problems reported (364 problems).
The following chart shows the 29 most common problems for Audi Q7 cars. The number one most common problem is related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling (181 problems). The second most common problem is related to the vehicle's electrical system (173 problems).
It would not be fair to compare the Audi Q7 of an older model year to newer model years since older vehicles have been in service longer and thus are expected to have more problems. In order to compare the reliability across Q7 model years, we use the PPMY index which is defined as the problems reported per thousand vehicles per Year. A smaller PPMY index indicates greater reliability of the given model year cars.
PPMY = P / S / Y * 1000,
where P = total problems reported during the life of a Audi Q7 model year; S = total units sold of the model year; Y = years since the debut of the model year (the age of the vehicle).
The results are shown in Table 3.
Another way to measure the reliability across the model years of the Audi Q7 is to use the total number of problems reported during the vehicle's first year in service, as shown in the Table 4.
