Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I am experiencing a severe oil leak between the engine and gearbox of my Audi Q7. This issue poses a safety risk due to potential engine malfunctions and accidents. Many Hello My name is [XXX] , owner of 2014 Q7 tdi. I am writing to bring to your attention a prevalent issue that has been reported by numerous Audi Q7 TDI vehicle owners, including myself. It has come to my attention, through various online forums such as AudiForum, that a significant number of Q7 TDI owners are experiencing oil leaks between the engine and gearbox. This issue poses a safety risk due to potential engine malfunctions and accidents. Many other Q7 owners have reported similar problems, and Audi America is aware of the issue. Warning signs appear when oil levels are low, indicating the need for constant oil replenishment. The component in question is available for inspection upon request. This issue not only poses a potential safety risk but also has the potential to cause significant damage to the vehicle's engine and drivetrain components. As a concerned owner, I believe it is imperative for Audi to address this issue promptly and comprehensively. Therefore, I am formally requesting that Audi initiate a recall for all affected Audi Q7 TDI vehicles to rectify the oil leak issue. I urge Audi to conduct a thorough investigation into the root cause of the problem and implement appropriate measures to remedy it, ensuring the safety and satisfaction of its customers. Please provide me with information on the formal procedure to file a request for a recall regarding this issue. Additionally, I would appreciate regular updates on the progress of this matter and any actions taken by Audi to address it. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
I HAVE A 2014 AUDI Q7 TDI AND HAVE JUST HAD THE DIESEL GATE RECALL FIX TO IMPROVE EMISSIONS. THE FIX HAS REDUCED MPG'S AND SIGNIFICANT POWER TO MY CAR. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WOULD ONLY LOSE ABOUT 2MPG BUT IT'S MORE LIKE 4-5MPG. THE POWER LOSS IS SIGNIFICANT AND MAKES THE CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ESPECIALLY WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE HESITATION PUTS ALL PASSENGERS IN DANGER. THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUE HAS TO DO WITH THE CAR WAS SOLD WITH A TOW PACKAGE. NOBODY TESTED THE DIESEL GATE FIX FOR OWNERS WHO PAID EXTRA FOR A TOW PACKAGE. THE CAR IS DOWN AT LEAST 10MPG WITH A LIGHT TRAILER AND THE SHIFTING AND POWER LOSS HAS MADE THIS Q7 ALMOST USELESS TO TOW. THAT WAS NOT TOLD PRIOR TO THE DIESEL GATE FIX. PUTTING AND AUDI/VW/PORSCHE ON THE ROAD WITH A LIGHT TRAILER AFTER THE DIESEL GATE FIX IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD
