You are in the Audi Q7 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
Unfortunately mine has the vibration problem...dealer wants vehicle back to change out all wheels and tires. Not optimistic that will solve problem based on board feedback but have to go through the procedures. Vehicles I test drove had no problem and I took mine out for a short test drive. Didn't show up until on the way home at higher speeds. Rest of vehicle very impressive and dealer good so far. Will give me another Q7 until mine is right.

Replying to: nachi (May 31, 2008 6:05 pm)  Hello , yes it's very normal inlike as an other cheap cars like as Lexus ......Your Audi has water and oil cooling sistem which protects engine and transmission too ......If you will stop the engine of regular Toyo it will cause water boiling and the damage of cooling system after 2 years or so .......Audi an oposite of that , computer will analize the temperature patern and will run fans and an aditional water pump antil it's reach the mild and safe temperature .......Open the engine hood of 2-3 years old ToyHonda and Audi , you will see the difference ......in first case all the wires and pipes will looks baked and in second way youthful

| My Q7 was in the shop for 2 days for the vibration with no success in solving it. I left the dealership with a loaner Audi. I basically have driven the vehicle to and from the dealership and that is it. Wheels and tires Road Force balanced, drive shaft rotated, drive shaft replaced, new wheels and tires put on and the problem is still there. Dealer is at a loss. He will contact Audi Monday to find out next steps. Not sure what I should be doing at this point and do I really want the vehicle at all? | |

Like in those old HORROR movies when you scream at the TV screen for the people to GET OUT of the haunted house.... that is my advice to you on your AUDI... great car until you encounter problems - electrical , mechanical , suspension - you name it ... The end result will be the Dealer will try to fix it without spending beyond the AUDI allotment for that customer/repair ... Q7 has a high one but still not usually enough !! So then you will be told by the dealer that the car is to "SPEC" and that you have to live with it ... NET NET the AUDI guys just do not care about american customers... once they have your money you opinion is uninteresting to them ... SO G E T O U T !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will in 14 months when my lease is UP !!! CAN'T WAIT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hear BMW is the polar opposite !! Also BUICK has come a long way ... GOOD LUCK in whatever you decide !!

Replying to: kerryjth (Jun 08, 2008 6:45 pm) On consumer reports the Audi scores high in reliability, owner satisfaction and resale. This was a factor in my decision. I hope it's not an expensive lemon. |

I hope you do NOT have a lemon. I just went through a similar experience witha $5K TV from Mitsubishi. I had researched TVs exhaustively. Consumer Reports rated Mitsubishi HIGH in reliability and owner satisfaction. BUT the TV kept breaking - in 18 months it was broken 8 weeks and it even broke the day before SuperBowl, it was a nightmare... I had a extended warranty from Circuit City BUT they too have an allotment from HQ (Mitsubishi like Audi HQ) on how much they can spend to fix it and they kept trying to do patches so they could avoid exceeding the SET repair $ limits. Ultimately I went to Sr. VP at Mitsubishi in Japan to have the whole TV replaced. They even shipped the newer model for free... at this point my TV was actually 2 years old ... NET NET the green eyeshade guys seem to run Customer Service at most companies these days so you are FORCED to be a complete abnoxious pain in the BUTT to get FAIR treatment !!! |
