Repairs included multiple hoses, gaskets, and thermostat replacement. -Shortly after, repeated PCV/Oil system failures caused oil leaks, warning lights, and engine shaking. Repairs included PCV system, oil separator, valve cover gasket, breather pipes, and new spark plugs.  - at 111,000 miles, the low-pressure fuel pump and relay failed, causing the vehicle to stall and lose all power while driving- a major safety risk.  -Most recently, the engine developed a severe misfire in cylinder #4. Compression testing confirmed abnormally low compression (15 psi) due to a suspected cracked valve seat. The vehicle cannot be repaired without a complete engine replacement, quoted at ~$20,000.  Safety Impact:  - Vehicle has stalled suddenly in traffic due to fuel and engine failures, risking crash or injury.  - Coolant and oil leaks present a potential fire hazard.  - Loss of power and shaking while driving put my family and others at risk.  Inspection/Confirmation:  -All problems have been repeatedly confirmed and repaired by an independent Audi specialty service center (S&S Auto Repair).   - Numerous invoices document coolant, oil, fuel, and engine failures.  Warning Signs:  - Multiple dashboard warning lights appeared either right before or during failure, including engine malfunction, coolant loss, and auto start/stop malfunction.  These repeated failures at relatively low mileage suggest a design/manufacturing defect with the Audi 3.0T engine platform that compromises both safety and reliability. The issue seems to be widespread amongst other Audi owners with the same 3.0T engine- Per AudiWorld Forums.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q7","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
