Consumer Description

I JUST TRIED TO START MY Q7 AND DIDN'T WANT TO START, THE AUTO STARTER WAS GOING FOR LIKE 4 SECONDS, SO I RETURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION TO STOP IT, AND A LOUD BANG AND SMOKE CAME OUT THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHEN I CHECK, I SAW THE SMOKE COMING OUT THE LOWER PART OF THE INTAKE MANIFORD, IT WAS SEPARATED FROM THE MAIN PIECE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS INTAKE GOT THIS USELESS PLASTIC COVER, BUT I REALLY NOT SURE WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND APPARENTLY IT CAME UNDONE FOR NOT APARENT REASON OTHER THAN A "BAD DESIGNED PART" THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS STARTING IT ON MY DRIVEWAY, BUT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE
