NHTSA Complaint #10346007 — 2007 AUDI Q7

AUDI Q7 4.2L WITH 34200 MILES LOST RPM ON HIGHWAY, SPEED SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 62MPH TO 22 MPH, WHEN ESP LIGHT CAME ON AND ENGAGED THE ABS. THE CAR BEHIND COULD BARELY STOP, DISTURBING THE ENTIRE TRAFFIC. FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE ESP (ELECTRONIC STABILIZATION PROGRAM), THE ESP LIGHT WILL COME ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES, MOSTLY ON, ALONG WITH THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP. WHEN ESP LIGHT COMES ON, THE CAR IS JERKING AND IT INVOLVES THE ABS (ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM), ALTHOUGH THE WEATHER/STREETS CONDITIONS ARE VERY GOOD (DRY, PAVED STREETS, SUMMER SUNNY DAYS). TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD I AM THE FIRST ONE WHO EXPERIENCED THIS KIND OF PROBLEM, AND THAT I AM THE "GUINEA PIG" FOR THEM. IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS CAR REPRESENTS A GREAT POTENTIAL DANGER WHILE IN TRAFFIC. TODAY, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. HOW ABOUT TOMORROW? DO WE NEED MORE "GUINEA PIGS"? *TR
