Engine · reported Sep 28, 2026
What happened: During routine service on XXX at 64,148 miles, an independent Audi specialist ([XXX], [XXX]) found low coolant, coolant leaking into the vacuum system, and coolant on the belt drive. On XXX the shop replaced the water pump, thermostat, vacuum pump, vacuum tank, and vacuum lines at a cost of $6,314.30. Safety risk: The failure was found before any on-road incident. Left undetected, continued coolant loss could cause engine overheating and a stall while driving. Coolant contamination of the vacuum system and coolant on the drive belt could also compromise systems that depend on…
Engine · reported Sep 28, 2026
While driving, the vehicle displayed an error message (occurring when going downhill), limited engine RPM to 1200, and illuminated a warning instructing the driver not to exceed 1200 RPM — a limp-mode condition that severely limited acceleration and the ability to maintain speed in traffic. On other occasions the vehicle entered limp mode and shut down while driving. The selling dealer, Audi Mohegan Lake (Mohegan Lake, NY), checked all systems, stored fault code P060C00, and stated a software update was needed, referencing TSB-2067767 — but advised the fix was not available. Audi was…

car in question is a 2022 Audi q7 55 tfsi - 3.0 turbo - 40k miles 2 owner. serviced at Audi since new. under warranty until 50k car throws a p0299 code - turbo underboost condition present - coolant migration from a faulty VW/AUDI water pump is sending coolant into vacuum lines causing catastrophic engine issues - car can not be driven. Audi will not fix under warranty and is trying to charge 5,800$ to replace waterpump/ associated lines. tells me the warranty "is for some items and not others" there is a class action lawsuit for a longstanding issue that Audi has been aware of since 2020 and…
Engine · reported Jul 31, 2026
My 2022 Audi Q7 experienced an internal water pump seal failure that allowed engine coolant to migrate into the vehicle’s vacuum system, contaminating the vacuum reservoir, valve, and connected lines. This is a known failure pattern affecting Audi/Volkswagen vehicles equipped with the 2.9T/3.0T EA839 engine family, where the water pump’s internal design allows coolant to be drawn into the vacuum circuit undetected, since the leak is internal and not visible externally. This can affect brake booster vacuum assist and turbo/drivetrain systems depending on severity. The failure occurred…
Power Train · reported Jun 8, 2026
I was traveling at highway speeds in active, high-velocity traffic when my vehicle suffered a sudden, catastrophic mechanical failure that nearly resulted in a severe multi-car accident. Without any warning, the vehicle completely lost its ability to accelerate, flatly refusing to pick up speed or maintain momentum despite pressing the gas pedal. ​This unexpected, immediate drop in propulsion marooned me in high-speed lanes, leaving the vehicle dangerously vulnerable as oncoming traffic rapidly closed the distance behind me. Drivers behind me were forced to aggressively swerve and brake to…
