2018 Audi A7 — reported problems

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (270 records, model years 2012–2021) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, engine and fuel system.
• Safety recalls (82 records, model years 2012–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), fuel system and electrical system.
• Transport Canada recalls (74 records, model years 2012–2025) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, air bags (restraint system) and visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors).
• Manufacturer communications (18,702 records, model years 2012–2025) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
