When turning the steering wheel there is a noise that sounds like something rubbing. It can be felt in the wheel.
2017 Audi Q7 steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving down a local city street, the car began to lose power, flashed a bunch of error codes and then lost power within a few seconds. The steering wheel locked when this happened so the car could not safely be steered off the road. They did initially replace the battery thinking that that was the cause but it happened shortly after leaving the mechanic so it we took at back which is when we were told that a software update was needed but that only the dealership can do this. The car is now sitting at the dealership but that are now telling us that we must buy their battery otherwise they can't work on it.
Was driving new used vehicle on 55 mile zone n my land assistance pulled my staring to right hard on single lane to the intersection. May be one side line was getting wide for intersection. But it was sudden pull.
After 10k miles we started noticing abnormal wear on the outside of the tires. I have the 18" goodyear runflat tires. The tires are chunking severely posing a serious safety concern for my family. Audi has a tsb for the same condition on the 20" tire. I do not know why the do not cover the same condition on the 18" tire??
Clicking noise while stoping and buzzing while turning. I am not alone, but there are thousands like owners complaining about this , why no official is asking audi to fix it? Or do we need fire and crashes and life losses for nhts to issue a recall?
The early production of model year 2017 audi q7 has significant steering noises, same as 2015 model year q5 (existing recall)'s steering noise. The loud clicking noise always come at low speed, for example, when you try to get into a parking spot. Another buzzing noise also occur during any turns. Audi dealer promised to replace steering shaft but it's been a year after that promise and we still cannot get the repair done. Audi kept telling us that the part is not available.
1. Driving 2017 audi q7 (mileage 17017) on I-85 close to the richmond, va. Dry, straight and no traffic road. 2. Both hands keep on steel wheel, car lost control, lane keep did not work, tried used the steel wheel to adjust, the steel wheel over response. 3. The car went to left and right, rollover, and crash. 4. Had sent car in dealership two times to repairing auto brake problems (this car did not stop but speed up even front car very close, I need use brake to prevent forward collision multiple times), still did not fixed, went on 7/8/2017 without appointment, dealer schedule full. 6. One time to repairing safety surround-view exterior camera. Three time recalls repair. 7. Car had multiple time error messages in 17 months, such as adaptive cruise control unavailable, audi pre-sense currently restricted. 8. Car add on multiple safety features, q7 premium plus with enhanced safety features driver assistance package (adaptive cruise control, audi active lane assist, high-beam assistant, improved forward collision mitigation system, audi pre-sense). 9. Vision package (audi virtual cockpit, full LED headlights, surround-view camera, pedestrian detection, night vision, rear cross-traffic detection, blind spot detection, traffic sign recognition). 10. We added the enhanced safety features in audi q7, but just one year and five months, in the straight and dry road, no traffic and no reason, still in warranty period, car crashed, and total lose. The car has more safety features than any my other cars but provides much less safety, my wife and I almost lose our life.
When the steering wheel is turned there is a squeaky sound as if something is rubbing against some other thing. I took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the problem but did recognize the issue. They changed the whole suspension and the electrical steering system but the noise is still there. I took my car back from and was on a vacation when noticed large amount of smoke coming from below the vehicle. I parked the car on the side and checked for fire but there was none. I let the car cool down and then parked the car in the hotel. Later I drove back home and had a similar issue of smoke coming from below the car. I have dropped the car for the third time in the last 1.5 months to the dealership. It appears that there is some kind of manufacturing fault in it or it's a lemon that they sold to me. The car was stationery when the smoke was noticed but I believe that the smoke must be there even in motion as well. The squeaky sound comes when the car is in motion at low speed specifically when turning.
At slow speed 10mph, every time you turn the steering wheel the front suspension makes a clicking, popping noise which is very annoying and don't know if its safe to drive, the front suspension might just pop out.
