Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I noticed rough handling and road noise at 7,000 miles. I checked the tires and they were worn unevenly. The dealer said they needed to be rotated and that it would go away, but it's been another 9,000 miles and it hasn't improved. The tires are pirelli scorpion verde all season run flats. They are wearing horribly only on the inside half of the tires. I had a four wheel alignment done, but it hasn't helped the uneven wear. The wear pattern is wavy, like a roller coaster. I believe there is an issue with these tires. The car is a 2018 Audi Q7.”

As I was finishing the u-turn a stabilization error message appeared and my brakes went out. I was finishing my uturn and couldn't slow down soi ended up running into the cement barrier with my right back wheel and went onto the feeder. Luckily it was at 5am so no other cars were on the road. Hitting the barrier slowed by car down to 5 MPH. As I straightened out my car, the brakes started working again. I had the car towed to the dealership. The dealership said Audi of america had to look at it. …”
