At 50k miles, in July 2023, I was told by the dealer, Audi, that the rear spring mounts were corroding, and it was not covered by warranty. Everything I have read about spring mounts is that they are not considered a wear and tear part, and should not deteriorate. But I paid about $2,000 for the repair. Now, 11 months later, one spring coil itself has broken, and despite the warranty since it was last replaced less than a year ago, Audi will not honor the warranty at all, because it was the spring mounts and not the springs themselves that were replaced. However, it is the same job to repair, and so I am forced to pay for the same amount of labor again. This seems criminal given the parts are interdependent and the job takes an equal amount of time. I don-??t understand why the coils weren-??t replaced initially, as I now have to pay for the project to essentially be redone. Yes, it is a safety issue. Was not inspected by police but it was by the manufacturer. There haven-??t been any warning indicators in the vehicle.

Both rear spring have broke with a clean break. I would not have noticed except for the piece of spring laying on my garage floor. Seems to be a known issue with Audi 2013-2019

Motor mount is leaking hydraulic fluid. Available for inspection. At around 69,000 miles this was found by an independent service center. Motor mount must be replaced. There was no knowledge other than vehicle shaking. No lights. It was detected by other issues and codes being ran.

2019 Audi Q7 rear spring broke despite having only 28,000 miles. I heard a loud banging noise when driving on highway which I initially thought was a loose exhaust pipe. Took it to a service center which diagnosed a broken rear spring with high risk of tire puncture. Never driven off road or with heavy loads (heaviest thing in trunk has been my 50 lb dog). Vehicle was only 3 months out of 36 month warranty when this happened. Local Audi dealer and Audi USA failed to stand behind this repair which cost me over $2000 to fix at an independent garage. Online search noted other Audi Q7 with similar problems.
