Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In the 2019 model year, the Audi Q7 recorded 61 complaints and 4 recalls, a noticeable drop from the 316 complaints and 7 recalls seen in 2017 but still higher than the 140 complaints and 3 recalls of 2018. The trend across the generation shows a sharp spike in 2017, a decline in 2018 and 2019, followed by a modest rebound to 67 complaints and 9 recalls in 2021. The 2019 year sits near the lower end of this post‑2017 volatility, indicating fewer systemic issues than the peak years. Top complaint areas for 2019 were suspension (9), steering (8), and fuel/propulsion system (7), with no fire complaints and only five crash complaints, suggesting limited safety concerns. Overall, 2019 represents a relatively stable period in the Q7’s history, making it a more attractive purchase year compared to the anomaly of 2017.
