2007 Audi Q7

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 AUDI Q7. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMITTING A STRONG FUEL ODOR. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO STATED THE PLUGS AND THE MANIFOLD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE DUE TO THE FAULTY SUNROOF WATER DRAIN HOSES(CONNECTION FOR HOSES). LIKE ALL (ALL) AUDI Q7 OWNERS I HAVE ENCOURAGED PROBLEMS WITH MY COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR. WATER LEAKED FROM SUNROOF DOWN TO MOST ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE CAR WHICH ARE HIDDEN BEHIND UPHOLSTERY. AUDI IS FULL OF ELECTRONICS INCLUDING SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE CAR. MY MMI SYSTEM DIED DUE TO AMPLIFIER GETTING WET. AFTER MMI, BATTERY DRAINED OUT AFTER JUST 7 HOURS THAT CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. ALL DEALERSHIPS KNOW ABOUT THIS AND AUDI IS STILL RIPPING OFF ALL THE Q7 OWNERS ON THIS ISSUE. TOO BAD IS THAT IN LONG RUN THEY WILL LOSE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS.FULL REPAIR OF SUNROOF HOSES AND REPLACEMENT OF AUDI AMPLIFIER WHICH IS FIRST PART THAT GETS AFFECTED FROM WATER COSTED ME ALMOST $4000. NOT TO MENTION THAT I STILL STAINS FROM WATER ON MY ROOF LINER. I CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT, WANT ME TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY AGAIN FOR INSPECTION. YEAH. GOOD LUCK. I WILL NEVER SEE AUDI DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUDI.

HI THERE, I HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY SOUND SYSTEM I.E. IN MY AUDI Q7, IT BASICALLY MUTED OFF AND I COULD NOT HEAR NOTHING (RADIO, AUDIO CD ETC.) AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER DIAGNOSIS, I WAS TOLD THAT MY MOON ROOF DRAIN TUBES WERE CLOGGED AS A RESULT RAIN WATER TRICKLED IN AND EVENTUALLY BLEW UP MY AMPLIFIER AND THE DEALER IS NOW CHARGING ME AN EXORBITANT (~$2500) PRICE TO FIX IT. I HAD NO OPTION BUT GET IT FIXED. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, I SEE THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2007 AUDI Q7 MODELS AND THAT IT WAS AUDI'S DECISION TO DEAL WITH THIS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS IN PREFERENCE TO RECALLING ALL 07 PRODUCTION (UP TO A CERTAIN VIN) WITH SUNROOF FITTED. THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THEIR ARGUMENT NOW IS THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN REGULAR AT SERVICING MY VEHICLE AT THE DEALER THEREFORE THEY CANT HELP WITH ASSISTING ME TO FIX IT AND ARE IN NO WAY LIABLE FOR IT. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THEY HAD A DUTY ALL ALONG TO FIX IT OR ADVISE ME OF THE POTENTIAL PROBLEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE FACT IT WAS HIDDEN FROM ME AND CALLED THE AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT HELP ME WITH THIS. I AM NOT SURE WHAT I FOUND ABOUT THE MOON ROOF DRAINS IS TRUE, BUT IF IT IS TRUE, THEN I THINK IT IS UNFAIR FOR AUDI TO HIDE THE FAULTY DRAINS FROM THEIR CUSTOMERS AND AUDI SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR IT... THANKS

VEHICLE REACHED A SPEED OF 75MPH STARTED FEELING A VIBRATION, STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME LOOSE FROM THE TRANSMISSION, DAMAGED FUEL LINE AND E-BRAKE CABLE. VEHICLE WAS MODIFIED IN 2011 AS A STRETCH LIMOUSINE, A MOBILE MACHINE STATED THAT FOUR OF THE SIX BOLTS WERE MISSING AND THE LAST TWO BROKE AND CAUSED THE DRIVE SHAFT TO COME OFF, VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MINNESOTA AND THE CONVERSION WAS DONE IN ILLINOIS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE A LITTLE OVER 30 DAYS. I FEEL THAT THERE WAS AN OVER LOOK FROM THE BUILDER TO THE LAST OWNER AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THIS SITUATION. PLEASE ADVISE
