One needs to always keep this in mind. You think the average person with good luck with any car is going to go all over saying how great it is? No. As soon as somebody has a problem or feels wronged then there right online telling everyone. Audi has pumped out hundreds of thousands of these. The handful with the problems we all hear about online are a drop in the bucket to the reality of the cars. if they were all horrible and falling apart, needs thousands in work nobody would buy them, and Audi would be out of business with warranty repairs.

Our reliability stats for the Q7 now include owner experiences through March 31, 2014, making them nearly a year ahead of other sources.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011 Q7: 102, high, very small sample size
2008 Q7: 57, moderate, very small sample size
2007 Q7: 72, moderate

Thank you, once again, everyone who has been helping. Next update in August.

We've updated our reliability stats for the Q7 to include owner experiences through June 30, 2014 (making them about 14 months ahead of some others).

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011 Q7: 81, high, very small sample size
2008 Q7: 49, low, very small sample size
2007 Q7: 70, moderate

Next updates in November and in February. The more owners participate, the more comprehensive and precise these will be.

I just wanted to let you know that I signed up and did a survey for both of our cars (my wife drives a 2010 BMW 135i convertible). The larger the sample, the more accurate the results, right?

Absolutely, thanks! We badly need more responses for the Q7. The survey is ongoing, and starts when you sign up. The next round starts in a few days.

Based on the previous round, we've updated our reliability stats for the Q7 to include owner experiences through September 30, 2014.

Repair frequencies, in terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:

2011 Q7: 57, moderate, very small sample size
2008 Q7: 47, low, very small sample size
2007 Q7: 65, moderate, small sample size

To view the repairs behind these numbers, check the stats for other cars, and sign up to help improve this information (next update in February):

This will help. We can only provide stats for model years with enough participants. More are needed for all years.

If other people reading this have not been helping with the survey, I hope you'll consider it.
