Honestly Audi seems plagued by a number of electronic issues and this may be my last one. Love the car when it's working but all these unresolvable issues.

I've been in for driver's door malfunction/parking brake malfunction/oil level sensor malfunction/ soft close doors not working periodically. All electronic issues. Car has been at the dealer 5 weeks for the soft close doors and still not resolved. If you read through the threads here the MMI randomly rebooting is an issue. Car and Driver even had it on their long term Q7 test. A number of people seem to have issues with the alarm not chirping/rear hatch opening at random/various parts of the DAP.

[QUOTE=sr007;25115726]While I understand how infuriating electronic issues can be on a new car, Audi has risen the ranks in terms of owner satisfaction, reliability and stands at #2 (source Consumer Reports 2018). Regarding your comment for MMI rebooting, it is not an issue per se. As any electronic gadget, it reboots once in a while (in my 1.5 years of ownership, only twice).

[/QUOTE I'm ok with the fact that cars ar basically rolling computers and don't boot up properly or need to reboot occasionally. The Car and Driver issue was frequent enough they mentioned it in their review which, although 40k miles, was over a few months.

Quality surveys are are usually during the initial ownership period-90 days or so-when people are enthused about their new car and more likely to give better reviews. I got the JD Power survey on my Q7 and it was mostly a lot f questions about tire brands. "How do you perceive. Yokohama tires? Are they a quality brand?" What does that have to do with my Q7? Yokohama doesn't even supply tires to Audi as far as I know.
