Consumer Description

ELECTRICAL ISSUE DUE TO THE FAULTY SUNROOF WATER DRAIN HOSES(CONNECTION FOR HOSES). LIKE ALL (ALL) AUDI Q7 OWNERS I HAVE ENCOURAGED PROBLEMS WITH MY COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE CAR. WATER LEAKED FROM SUNROOF DOWN TO MOST ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS IN THE CAR WHICH ARE HIDDEN BEHIND UPHOLSTERY. AUDI IS FULL OF ELECTRONICS INCLUDING SAFETY SYSTEMS IN THE CAR. MY MMI SYSTEM DIED DUE TO AMPLIFIER GETTING WET. AFTER MMI, BATTERY DRAINED OUT AFTER JUST 7 HOURS THAT CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT. ALL DEALERSHIPS KNOW ABOUT THIS AND AUDI IS STILL RIPPING OFF ALL THE Q7 OWNERS ON THIS ISSUE. TOO BAD IS THAT IN LONG RUN THEY WILL LOSE A LOT OF CUSTOMERS.FULL REPAIR OF SUNROOF HOSES AND REPLACEMENT OF AUDI AMPLIFIER WHICH IS FIRST PART THAT GETS AFFECTED FROM WATER COSTED ME ALMOST $4000. NOT TO MENTION THAT I STILL STAINS FROM WATER ON MY ROOF LINER. I CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA AND THEY WILL NOT ADMIT FAULT, WANT ME TO GO TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY AGAIN FOR INSPECTION. YEAH. GOOD LUCK. I WILL NEVER SEE AUDI DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND NEVER BUY ANOTHER AUDI.
