“My passenger windshield wiper flew off while I was driving on the highway. It was raining pretty hard and the automatic wipers were going pretty fast when suddenly it snapped off and flew behind me. This happened on may 17, 2018. The dealer I purchased the vehicle from replaced it with another Q7's wiper that was on their lot. This happened again on 11/06/2018... I was around the same area of the highway, it was raining and the wipers were going pretty fast. I was going about 50 miles per hour when it flew off again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11149923, filed 2018-11, 111,000 miles“Driving on a causeway while raining and suddenly passenger side wiper arm broke. It made huge noise and thanks god it did not break the windsheild or hit anybody behind the wheel. Could have been worse. Seen several complaints on audiworld forum but no remedy. I ordered one and replacing one now. But this windshield wiper system should have been recalled due to safety concern.”
