Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich Audi Q7 system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 150 complaints across 11 model years, 22% of everything owners filed about the Audi Q7. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which Audi Q7 year has the most complaints?
2017 (319), 2018 (143), 2021 (75). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
