2010 Audi Q7 Engine Problems

“My 2010 Audi Q7 with 59k miles engine light came on and it was starting pretty rough. I brought it 200 yards up the street to my local garage and they said it's a bigger deal and to bring it to the dealership. They told me it's a timing chain issue and I looked it up and saw the class action lawsuit, recall, and settlement on most Audi's - but seemed to exclude Q7. Researching, I found out Audi decided in 2008 to change their timing chain. …”

“I have an Audi Q7 2010. June 2013, my husband, 4 yr old son and I were driving on the freeway going with the flow of traffic. The car started shaking violently and decelerated to 20 miles per hour. My husband pushed the gas pedal over and over and the car would not speed up. Luckily no one was hurt, however we were very scared. We were able to pull to the emergency lane and make it to the Audi dealership close by. …”

“Tdi high pressure fuel pump failure while accelerating from red light. This resulted in loss of power steering, power brakes and steering wheel locked while pulling car over. Had car been traveling at high speed or less experienced driver it would have resulted in an accident.”

“This is a tdi version of the Q7. The high pressure fuel pump failed during normal use and sent metal parts through the fuel lines, through the fuel filter and into the combustion chambers. As a result, the engine ceased and we were left stranded in the middle of the road on a winding canyon road. The engine block was damaged; the crank shaft bent, the pistons damaged the heads and many other parts were destroyed. The car was repaired by an Audi dealer and required all new fuel components (bumper to bumper) and a new engine. The car was in the shop for over a month.”
