What owners wrote
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 car was slipping on ice when there was not that much ice. Then I was told it has an issue with an ABS control module. The part is over $2500 and the car does not even have 70 000 miles. VW has recalled this part and so should audi before injuries and deaths occur.
Engine start button: within 9,800 miles, the esb started to be inoperable. Very inconvenient. It is currently being diagnosed at the moment.
I have attempted to get my brakes repaired on a 2008 audi q7. I have taken it to two different service centers with 2 visits to each one. None of them have fixed the problems completely.
