2016 Audi S7 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 674 evidence records for the 2016 Audi S7, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
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 (114 records, model years 2013–2021) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and driver-assistance systems.
- Manufacturer communications (11,525 records, model years 2013–2025) 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
