Audi SQ7 — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 52 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Driver-assistance systems16 (30.8%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2020–2026.
• Electrical system16 (30.8%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2021.
• Engine12 (23.1%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2021.
• Steering4 (7.7%)
• Lights2 (3.8%)Official recall records for this system: 2, covering model years 2021.

Other / uncategorized: 2 classifications (3.8%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

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 (30 records, model years 2020–2025) are most frequently classified under: driver-assistance systems, electrical system and engine.
• Manufacturer communications (6,875 records, model years 2020–2026) 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

• P0606 in 2 records · 2024–2025

A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
