Yep. If Audi decides to buy back my Q7, I would purchase another in a heartbeat. To me, there isn't anything that comes close to what the Q7 is capable of. The vehicle looks great, drives great, has decent power/towing capacity, great tech, not too big and not too small. If only that dam SQ7 would come to USA.

I researched and waited for mine almost 2 years before the MLB platform was introduced, but Audi USA is killing me over something that should clearly been replaced according the to the numerous experts I've consulted, but they prefer to stick their heads in the sand.

Range Rover Velar or the upcoming Jaguar J Pace (7 seats) are interesting alternatives. I'd also consider the all new '18 Cayenne which shares the same, albeit heavily modified, platform etc.

But I'd really prefer Audi USA does the right thing by the customer...as overall its a great platform and I'd like to remain loyal to the brand.

Do you guys take your vehicles to the dealers you bought it from or go to a closer/local dealer? How is Audi dealers with warranty service on vehicles bought from other dealers? No questions asked, or like BMW "you didn't buy it from us, so we can't give you an appointment until 2 months later...".

I take it to my local Audi dealer. I'm assuming it'd be better to take it somewhere else other than the dealer you purchased it from, this way the dealer you didn't purchase it from could be like, "You should have purchased it from us.".

I've found the dealership to be more accommodating than Audi USA, but once Audi USA becomes involved the dealership must abide by what Audi tells them to do.

If I had to do things all over again, I most likely would not purchase the Q7, not because it isn't a great vehicle, but because Audi still does not admit when there are certain problems even after VAG got slammed for lying!

looks like the replacing of the guide link bushings fixed the problem

Anybody know whether a 2018 built in the last few months would have the updated guide link bushings?

I suspected something in the control arms so this makes sense. Can someone pls post the paperwork for the repair? Thx
