2007 Audi Q7: check engine light

Filed Apr 7, 2020 · Body, Electrical · 100,000 miles · NC

The rear sunroof leaks around the seal and leaks down into the electronics of the car. The drain tubes are ran through the electronics compartment causing it to short out the system and causing the check engine light and tire sensor lights to come on and not be able to be reset. The sunroof not only leaks from the drain tubes but also around the seal, also causing the water to drain into the electrical compartment which causes the same issue even after the drain tubes are repaired. You can find this issue listed all over the internet help sites as well as you tube. This is a very common issue with this model vehicle, and is a design flaw that audi is refusing to fix and passing on the cost to the consumer. To repair the amp and water leak is upwards of $6000. The consumer should not be responsible for assuming the expense of a manufacturer design flaw. The leak occurs in the rear sunroof of this model audi and is a issue that is listed all over the internet and audi has not made it a recall.

Fuel line leak occurred during operation of the vehicle on 11/24/18. First a fuel smell was detected in the vehicle at a traffic light at washington rd and rt 1 (this smell was at first associated with a tanker truck refueling an adjacent service station), then on the highway engine knocking began to occur with a blinking check engine light when accelerating. Upon parking the vehicle, a pool of fuel was immediately detected below the engine block from fuel dripping off of the engine block. Upon opening the hood the engine block was covered with fuel - identified by touch and smell - additionally the insulation on the ceiling of the hood had a wet spot 1 ft sq darkened by saturation with fuel. Restarted the engine and noted fuel was spraying from the fuel pump towards the front of the vehcile and upwards towards the hood. The engine was immediately cut off and the vehicle was towed to an audi dealership for repair.

Audi q7 4.2l with 34200 miles lost RPM on highway, speed suddenly dropped from 62mph to 22 MPH, when esp light came on and engaged the ABS. The car behind could barely stop, disturbing the entire traffic. Frequent problems with the esp (electronic stabilization program), the esp light will come on and off multiple times, mostly on, along with the malfunction indicator lamp. When esp light comes on, the car is jerking and it involves the ABS (anti-lock brake system), although the weather/streets conditions are very good (dry, paved streets, summer sunny days). Took car to the dealer 3 times, did not fix the problem. I was told I am the first one who experienced this kind of problem, and that I am the "guinea pig" for them. It is clear that this car represents a great potential danger while in traffic. Today, I was almost involved in an accident. How about tomorrow? Do we need more "guinea pigs"?

I currently own a 2007 audi q7 3.6 and believe there is a safety issue with all 2007 3.6 vehicles. The vehicle is advertised to have the towing ability to tow up to 6600lbs. On three separate occasions while towing a 435lb aluminum trailer the check engine light came on along with the epc (electronic power control) light and the car goes into a safe mode which will not allow you to go over 3000rpms. This problem only occurs while towing for over an hour but when the safe mode is installed the car has no power and with a trailer still hooked up the car has trouble going over 45mph. This is a very dangerous situation especially on the highway when trucks are passing you doing 70mph. My q7 was in the dealership three times for this problem and I'm still not satisfied that the problem has been corrected. They downloaded new software to my engine control module which changes the performance of my car but I believe anyone who owns this same vehicle and attempts to tow will find themselves in the same dangerous situation. Most people don't use this type of car to tow with even though they advertise this as a selling point. All 2007 q7 3.6 vehicles should be tested and have the updated software installed in there car before someone gets hurt
