TIRES

Yokohama Parada Spec-x tire, R275/45/R20 tread separation from belt. Second tire to do so since the start of 2024. Had to buy another brand name and tire after second tire separated from belts on 07/03/2024, causing me to spend $983.59 on new tires. There definitely something wrong with this line of Yokohama tires.

TIRES

The tread separation at edge top of tire, Yokohama Parada Spec-x P275/45R20. Driving on Highway I-44. Started filling a weird vibration in the steering wheel. Stopped and found tore tread on tire.

TIRES

The tread started tearing away from the tire, and sidewall. Less than 5k on tires.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Large fuel leak from fuel pump flange. Vehicle has had the recall 20W9 performed in 2018 as can be seen by the black butyl sticker on the assembly. However, this failed to prevent the flange from cracking and subsequently creating a large fuel leak. This is the very failure the recall was intended to prevent. Part is available for inspection if necessary as well as work order from original recall.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the amplifier needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

ISSUE IS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 16V660000, THE FUEL CAP FLANGE HAS BUTYL TAPE ON IT AND HAS STARTED LEAKING FUEL. THE GARAGE HAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. THE PART IS ABOUT 250 DOLLARS, DIAGNOSIS WAS 150 AND INSTALLATION IS ABOUT 1.5 HOUR WHICH IS A GRAND TOTAL OF 750 DOLLARS. WHY IS MY VIN NOT IN THE RECALL, IF ITS A DEFLECTIVE PART, RECOGNIZED BY AUDI.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

FUEL PUMP CRACKED AND WAS LEAKING FUEL ON MY GARAGE FLOOR WHICH COULD CASE A CATASTROPHIC FIRE.

ENGINE

MY 2010 AUDI Q7 WITH 59K MILES ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS STARTING PRETTY ROUGH. I BROUGHT IT 200 YARDS UP THE STREET TO MY LOCAL GARAGE AND THEY SAID IT'S A BIGGER DEAL AND TO BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT'S A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND I LOOKED IT UP AND SAW THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, RECALL, AND SETTLEMENT ON MOST AUDI'S - BUT SEEMED TO EXCLUDE Q7. RESEARCHING, I FOUND OUT AUDI DECIDED IN 2008 TO CHANGE THEIR TIMING CHAIN. EVEN THO I SHOWED THEM THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES LESS THAN 10K MILES, THEY DECLINED TO PICK UP THE COST OF THE REPAIR.THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE.
