brake issues at low mileage

Front brake noise first appeared at ~13K. Had an oil change done at 15K only find out that we are staring at brake job, pads and rotors, for both front and rear, estimated at $1,600. Both dealerships commented on this as "normal wear" and so did Audi Customer Care. Dealing with Customer Care is a joke. Apparently my 20+ year driving experience and owning multiple SUVs/trucks and not having the brakes shot at 15K means nothing. I suggested that the dealer pays for rotors and I pay for pads, so will hear back from Audi in a couple of days. Complaints about the breaks/rotors replacement at early mileage is something that various Audi forums cover well. Thinner break pads (7mm) vs. other luxury SUVs and softer break pad material, all seem to contribute to the issue of premature brake failure. Single use rotors, which are not supposed to be serviced until ~35,000 miles according to Audi Q7 Maintenance Schedule, need to be replaced with every brake job, which can drive the cost up to $2,000 for parts and labor. I'm excited at the 2017 Q7, but who needs a brake job that soon, so may not be trading in next year.

Looked hi and low for a Q7 TDI Premium Plus. Found one and couldn't be happier. Everytime we get in the vehicle it smells and feels like new.The quality of build, fit and finish is top notch. Had to replace brake rotors. Went with brake stop slotted drilled. easy do it yourself. everything on this vehicle is easy. just do research. transmission fluid is dextron VI. local parts store has lifetime warranty on all parts. (update update) wife drove my other vehicle and asked if she could have her Audi back. Took Audi on a road trip and actually got a tad bit over 700 miles on a tank of fuel. This vehicle is a keeper to me.

2015 TDI Q7 _ review

I traded in my MB 2012 GL550 for the 2015 Audi Q7 TDI. Overall very impressed with the ride and how quite the Q7 is compared to the MB. The Audi TDI has great performance and rides much-much smooth than the MB GL550 did. Plenty of room in the Q7 '15 model for us as a family of five. The technology is great, easy to use and functions as one would think, not a complex interface like MB icommand. Audi technology features are well done, I have internet enabled in this Q7 and it gets a great signal, we've connect up to 5 devices, the max is 8 devices. Of Course Bluetooth enabled works well too. Overall I love how smooth the Q7 is, handles well and while it's a V6 Diesel with 240 HP it has over 400LB of Torque per ft. The MB GL550 was a bullet at 390HP but rode rough I thought and the technology gap with other car manufactures in the 2012 MB GL series was just not good. The Audi Q7 gets great milage about 18-19 in the City and over 25-28 m/p/g on the HWY, much higher too is possible, but I have a heavy foot. One could get in the 30's for HWY milage easy. Great interior. I recently put in Adblue myself and the "Adblue" light went away after registering full.

2015 Q7 Prestige TDI

It's a great vehicle. I purchased it post the emissions fix so can't say how it drove before. There are a fair bit of complaints about the driving characteristics compared to how they were before, but fortunately for me, I don't know how it drove before. For me, it's been great. It's our fuel efficient commuter and I love the AWD and size of the vehicle. I have a third party warranty as well as the emissions warranty remaining but when that is up, I will be doing the emissions system delete as well as the transmission control module re-tune, both options are aftermarket and both options increase reliability and drivability making it far more reliable, far more fun to drive and more fuel efficient. We really like it, feels very safe for hauling our family around including an 8 month old and it's an absolute blast on the highway - cruising at highway speeds and passing on the highway is an absolute breeze. The Touareg's are a bit nicer inside, without a doubt. My mother has a 2015 Touareg and compared to our 2015 Q7 the interior is definitely superior on the Touareg. We had no preference as to which one we were looking to get of the two, we just wanted something with lower mileage and a 2013+ for the extra horsepower (240 vs 225). Update January 2024 - vehicle has been sold but never gave me any issues. Living in Canada, I was able to remove the emissions systems which made the vehicle far more reliable and it was a pleasure to drive. Lots of power, great efficiency and very stable. At the end of the day, the outdated interior and tech kind of pushed me to sell it for something newer. But it was a great vehicle and I do miss it.
