What 2014 Audi A7 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Recently just purchased car at 64000 miles. 10 days after purchase, while driving on residential streets, noticed fuel odor, then vehicle shutting down. Unable to start, would crank but not start. Had to get towed. Next day added a gallon of gas, was able to start car, but immediately seen fuel spraying and leaking in engine, possibly from injectors, vacuum. Haven’t gotten repaired yet as I am trying to either have dealership fix issues or Audi due to known issues/recall. Hoping to receive some resolution to start repairs
Driving on the freeway and all of a sudden steering wheel stops working gets so stiff the electrical steering wheel colum componet stops working.just about crashed. Thank goodness no one in freeway. Tps lights goes on. Payed all the diagnoises and says weeks to order the part. Says don't drive. Red warning light. Did 3 diagnosis and its the cpu componet that controls the dashboard and flip screen rear tail that should raise at 75 I believe you have to click the button to activate if the car lets you. No screen on flip screen went out when driving with GPS on in the middle of a storm. The traction on the car is off . Audi says 8,000 dollars for the steering wheel componet they say very hard and expensive to fix.

Tl* the contact's husband owns a 2014 audi a7. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, she smelled a gas odor coming from the vehicle. The contact then stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle stalled as she noticed that there was no gasoline in the vehicle, despite having a full tank of gas prior to the stall. The contact was uncertain if there were any warning lights illuminated. Due to the failure, the contact had vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who informed her that the gas line fractured and sprayed fuel onto the exhaust manifold. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v781000 (fuel system, gasoline) however, audi muskegon (1860 e sternberg rd #7, muskegon, mi 49444) and audi pensacola (6303 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505) confirmed that the vehicle was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
The vehicle collapsed while using the vehicle jack to raise the car to remove the front driver's side wheel. The jack was inserted into the plastic jack saddle located in the driver's side rocker panel. The vehicle was raised approximately 4 inches, the wheel was removed, and the jack saddle broke and dislodged from the vehicle causing the vehicle to suddenly and abruptly fall to the ground. The driver's side rocker panel, front fender, door, and front stabilizers were damaged. Additionally, I could have been crushed had I been under the vehicle at the time. The vehicle was stationary in a controlled environment inside a finished residential garage with a flat concrete floor. The incident was reported to audi of pensacola and audi of america for review. Neither accepted any responsibility for the malfunction or defective product and advised me to simply report it to my insurance company for repair reimbursement.
Both exhaust pipes protrudes out and very hot after parked/engine off. If person leans slightly in to unload articles from trunk, passengers needs to be aware pipes sticks out and can cause skin burns to lower extremity.
When I drive, the car's GPS always say "wrong direction". Actually it is not wrong direction! It is very unsafe!
