The initial recall (17V298) was performed in 2017 and then the problem reoccurred in 2026 (cracked fuel flange) making it dangerous to drive. This was subsequently fixed at an Audi dealership and they have refused to cover it. Under terms of the recall, it states that this should not be charged to the customer however the charge of $1,670.36 was levied against me. I subsequently opened a case (#07770420) with Audi and they said that they were not obligated to perform that identical fix…

2015 AUDI Q7
Filed Oct 7, 2026
Our 2015 Audi Q7 start using a lot of oil under 100,000 miles. Dealership replace turbocharger oil seals but that didn't fix the issue. The engine failed oil consumption test and was told the vehicle is safe to drive but will need to add oil every 1,000 miles. Engine failed three months later. Contact Audi of North American about the problem and ask about replacement engine because a vehicle of that type quality should not be having those type of issuea with low mileage.
2017 AUDI Q7

I was backing out of a retail shopping parking lot and heard a loud bang, then a horrible noise from the front driver side. The car went on a lock down - was useless. The front driver wheel was pushed out and we could see control arms. broken underneath. I had no warning, no indicators on the dash- this was catastrophic. I was stopping traffic from passing and required police assistance. The car had was towed via flatbed to a Firestone repair shop. As mentioned, no warning - I am certainly glad…
