Both rear coil springs broke. Was not obvious when I was backing up. I heard a bang. I thought I hit something, but in fact I didn’t. I never knew what was wrong. The dealer reported that both rear springs were broken. He said it was a safety problem to keep it that way. The Audi dealer said it was a safety problem I think you should believe him. It is a safety problem. The car drove but I had to replace the springs cost thousands of dollars. Videos of spring at. [XXX] There was no crash. There was no heavy use. The spring simply broke the first one broke I believe at 55,000 miles and the second one at 76,000 miles. Everybody on the Internet seems to be having broken springs on Audi Q7 and Q5 models. And when they break, they’re no longer supported mechanic , as you can see from the photographs. One spring is supported in one way on the edge of the retain cup and one spring is pressing against some other component. It’s dangerous.

Rear coil springs broke after just 60,000 miles. Audi refused to cover but dealer said this is very common. Vehicle stability affected. After my 42 years in automotive industry as a supplier my bet is these springs are made in China and supplier is cheating on material specifications and Audi must know.

On October 9, I brought my 2019 Audi Q7 with approximately 79k miles to my dealership service department for an oil change and an inspection sticker. While in for the service, the dealership performed a multi-point inspection. During the inspection, the service technician found that both rear coils were broken off of the base. The technician recommended that these be replaced immediately and need immediate attention. The cost of the repair is over $3,000 and would then require an alignment and calibration, costing an additional over $500. I understand that these coils were recalled in later model Audi Q7's but not my year. Based upon this, it seems that the coils are defective and there should be additional recalls. There really is no reason for coils to break on a car that has such a large towing capacity (though I don't tow anything on the car and don't have a tow hitch). This is a safety issue for the car's performance and control.

At 50k miles, in July 2023, I was told by the dealer, Audi, that the rear spring mounts were corroding, and it was not covered by warranty. Everything I have read about spring mounts is that they are not considered a wear and tear part, and should not deteriorate. But I paid about $2,000 for the repair. Now, 11 months later, one spring coil itself has broken, and despite the warranty since it was last replaced less than a year ago, Audi will not honor the warranty at all, because it was the spring mounts and not the springs themselves that were replaced. However, it is the same job to repair, and so I am forced to pay for the same amount of labor again. This seems criminal given the parts are interdependent and the job takes an equal amount of time. I don’t understand why the coils weren’t replaced initially, as I now have to pay for the project to essentially be redone. Yes, it is a safety issue. Was not inspected by police but it was by the manufacturer. There haven’t been any warning indicators in the vehicle.

Both rear spring have broke with a clean break. I would not have noticed except for the piece of spring laying on my garage floor. Seems to be a known issue with Audi 2013-2019

Motor mount is leaking hydraulic fluid. Available for inspection. At around 69,000 miles this was found by an independent service center. Motor mount must be replaced. There was no knowledge other than vehicle shaking. No lights. It was detected by other issues and codes being ran.

2019 Audi Q7 rear spring broke despite having only 28,000 miles. I heard a loud banging noise when driving on highway which I initially thought was a loose exhaust pipe. Took it to a service center which diagnosed a broken rear spring with high risk of tire puncture. Never driven off road or with heavy loads (heaviest thing in trunk has been my 50 lb dog). Vehicle was only 3 months out of 36 month warranty when this happened. Local Audi dealer and Audi USA failed to stand behind this repair which cost me over $2000 to fix at an independent garage. Online search noted other Audi Q7 with similar problems.
