A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The 2007 audi was hit on a high speed collision after other vehicle ran a red light and no air bags where deploid by the audi q7 after massive front and side collision from other vehicle at 50 MPH . Not very happy of the safety problem that this luxury 2007 audi q7 vehicle has by not deploying the front and side airbags causing personal injury to my family during the accident.
Turned on the car and within a few minutes smoke filled up the whole car. The smoke was coming from the rear wiper from the inside. Seems to be coming from the wiper motor but can't tell until I take the plastic cover off. Started smoking immediately every time I turned the car on, tested it a total of 3 times. Strange caramel colored residue left on the back window from the inside. Smells terrible. The car was stationary the whole tome and parked in a neighborhood.
Following an exterior car wash (brushless) the audio system and mmi began having problems. The rear audio speakers began crackling and then stopped working altogether. Certain mmi controls, particularly with the heated seats and fan blower also stopped working. After some time, the speakers returned to working but the mmi system remained spotty. No battery draw was found and no apparent (obvious) water intrusion was found.
There is a fissure crack in oil tank located under the engine also fuel pump leak which causes the electronic control board to mishap also the trunk electric doors smashed my head a few times I have take the car to only authorized audi mechanics.
