Software Problems of Audi Q7

While driving down a local city street, the car began to lose power, flashed a bunch of error codes and then lost power within a few seconds. The steering wheel locked when this happened so the car could not safely be steered off the road. They did initially replace the battery thinking that that was the cause but it happened shortly after leaving the mechanic so it we took at back which is when we were told that a software update was needed but that only the dealership can do this. The car is now sitting at the dealership but that are now telling us that we must buy their battery otherwise they can't work on it.

In August of 2006 I signed a three year lease for the new Audi Q7, 4. 2. Right from the start, I encountered a potentially very dangerous problem. When coming to a stop and then trying to accelerate the vehicle failed to move. Only by removing my foot from the accelerator and then applying full pressure will I start moving again. This was not a lag nor a hesitation, since without removing my foot from the pedal the car simply will not move. Depending on the brake to accelerator or accelerator to brake sequence, the car will either come a fully unresponsive stop or fail to shift from second to third gear. The dealership initially denied the existence of the problem. Now, after having had the car test driven several times and after having been in constant contact with representatives of Audi and I am being told that this was not the car for you. Should have not bought this car if you drive with both feet. I have not found this warning in any publication. Audi of America's explanation was that the drive by wire system will shut down the fuel supply when the brake and the gas pedal sense just the slightest pressure at the same time, causing the car to stall in the middle of traffic. Audi has not issued a software correction to the problem. I test drove the same model Q7 recently and it behaved the same way. By driving this car, I am exposing myself and my passengers to very dangerous situations on an hourly basis. Coming to a stand still in front of oncoming traffic was a death sentence. Even though Audi admittedto the problem and offered their scientific explanation to the sudden fuel supply shut down, the representatives told me that the vehicle performed to manufacturer's specifications.
