The contact owned a 2015 Audi Q7. The contact stated while driving at 45 mph, a vehicle from the opposite side made a left turn while the contact was driving straight which caused the contact to T-bone and hit that other vehicle on the front and rear passenger side. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle's front end was caved in which caused damage to the radiator and brake line. The contact had a concussion and bruises on the upper chest due to the seat belt and whiplash. There was no medical treatment at the scene, but the contact did go to the hospital the next day. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard where the vehicle was later deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximate 70,000.

I am writing to report a problem with Faulty electronic control monitors (ECM). This is a vehicle safety problem, because if the ECM is faulty, drivers won't know when there is truly a problem. Approximately 2 weeks ago, my vehicle check engine light came on. I don't drive the car that often, so I scheduled an appointment and took a picture. The day of my appointment the light wasn't on. The report number 251149 shows a diagnosis of a faulty ECM. I believe there is a problem with the manufacturing, because my car is a 2015 and report numbers 185124 and 180866 also reflect faulty information and electronic control monitors. This shouldn't happen in a car that is ~6 years old and has only 50,000 miles.

The intake pipe between the intercooler and turbo consists of 2 pieces joined with 2 bolts. I was told by the Audi service tech that both of these bolts backed out and the pipe dislodged mid operation, disrupting air flow. Throttle was suddenly completely unresponsive and I was forced to coast to the shoulder of the highway with no throttle control. Link to video sent by service tech: https://app.quik.auto/j/356eeb5b

PER AUDI DEALERSHIP AND FIDELITY WARRANTY, CLEANING OF THE SECONDARY AIR PORTS ARE NOT CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL ENOUGH TO BE COVERED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS GIVEN THE REASONING THAT CLEANING IS NOT CONSIDERED A FAILURE OF PARTS; AND THEREFORE, DOES NOT MEET WARRANTY COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS, ALTHOUGH IT DOES ILLUMINATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IS DEEMED CRITICAL BY THE AUDI TECHNICIAN. *TR

AFTER JUST MERGING TO I695 W FROM TRAVELING SOUTH ON I95 VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER GOING FULL THROTTLE AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE BRAKE OVERRIDE. IT APPEARED THAT THE THROTTLE PEDAL WAS SOMEHOW STUCK AND WOULD NOT COME BACK UP ON ITS OWN. THE PEDAL APPEARED TO HAVE GONE PAST ITS 'NORMAL' MOTION RANGE AND HAD SUNK QUITE LOW INTO THE FLOOR. THIS FORCED ME TO HAVE TO STAND WITH FULL FORCE ON THE BRAKE AND UNTO THE SHOULDER WITH A FULL EMERGENCY STOP REQUIRED. WHICH IN TURN CAUSED TO BRAKES TO SMOKE FOR A FEW MINUTES. I HAVE CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS NOT THE FLOOR MATS OR ANY OBJECT IMPEDING THE TRAVEL OF THE PEDAL THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE ISSUE. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF I WAS ABLE TO FORCE-ABLY RETURN THE THROTTLE BACK TO ITS 'NORMAL' POSITION. I HAVE NOT SINCE GONE WOT SINCE THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED.
