Selector Lever Malfunction
I bought the 2017 Q7 on Monday last week. Today while driving the warning light came and it said selector lever malfunction, continue to drive and asked to contact service. I'll be taking the car to audi first thing Monday morning.
Anyone else had a similar issue or might know what the problem might be? Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Keeping figures crossed that it's just a software glitch. I wasn't at home when this happened, was able to drive back without any issue. Will update after I visit Audi dealership tomorrow.

Took the car to the dealership today. They have been asked by Audi to replace the circuit that controls the gear selector. The service rep said that he has located the required part in New Jersey but he is not sure if it's available or was ordered for some other car. If it's available they'll have my car ready tomorrow, otherwise they have to wait for the part to come from Germany which might take a week.
Hopefully I'll get the car back tomorrow.They gave me an A8 but I'd much rather drive my Q7.

According to the service rep, this was the first time they had seen this problem that's why they had to contact Audi to figure out how to solve it. Audi did tell them that there was a known issue with some clip being loose that causes a similar malfunction but that wasn't the case in my car.

Second Time for Problem
[Have had two visits to Audi Service on this problem. First time was at 750 mi in FL. Service cleared the computer & said if it happened again it was probably the "push Button" on gear selector lever. Back in today with same issue @ 2800 mi & dealer in MI has ordered "gear selector lever handle". Will advise me when part is available. 24783082]Got it, thanks for the information![/QUOTE]
