Consumer Description

The rear coils springs snapped. The vehicle has 66k miles, which is very low for this type of component to fail. I have not used the vehicle for towing or heaving hauling. From what I have read online, many owners of 2017 Audi Q7s have experience this same issue. There is a clear defect in the springs that is causing this to happen.
