“We took our 2009 Audi Q7 in to change the headlamp. While there, audit informed us that the brakes needed to be replaced. We were surprised given that the vehicle had only 25,037 miles on it. Audi informed us that this is a problem they have been having with the Q7 and that the brakes are having a shorter useful life than expected. We did not have any injuries, but we were charged $1,448.84 for an issue that seems like it should be Audi's problem. But more importantly, we are concerned about others driving Q7's who may not realize that the brakes could fail around 25,000 miles.”
