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.

AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED COMPLAINTS ABOUT, EVEN WITH CLEANING OUR SUNROOF DRAINS REGULARLY, THE GLUE FAILED CAUSING US TO NOT ONLY ENDURE THE EXPENSE OF A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, BUT NOW WE HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A STEREO SINCE WE FEEL WE ARE ENTITLED TO AT LEAST THAT MUCH, HOWEVER, AUDI OF AMERICA DISAGREES. CONSIDERING HOW MANY ISSUES THERE HAVE BEEN WITH SUNROOF LEAKS IN THE PAST AND THE FACT THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR Q7 OWNERS, I FEEL, AS MANY OTHERS DO I'M SURE, THAT THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BY THE NHTSA. *TR
