“While I was driving my Audi Q7, it jerked at 20 MPH for 3 to 4 times. Took it to dealer, they said it was due to carbon buildup. They cleaned it, after 3 weeks, I was driving on freeway at 60 MPH, its huge jerk car stop and go as if there is lack of fuel supply. The guy behind me honked as if I did unexpected breaking. The next day I am dropping my kid at school, there was steep hill, the car is doing same I was scared as car is pulling down from uphill. I feel this is a real safety issue to me and the cars behind me.”

NHTSA complaint #10425186, filed 2011-09, 32,471 miles“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. …”
