What Owners Say
"Shortly before the brakes were to receive their routine maintenance, the parking brake warning light illuminated on two occasions. The parking brake was serviced as part of the brake service, and the warning light no longer appears."
Anonymous, ON (2018 Audi Q7 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"Parking brake light comes on frequently but brake is not engaged. Dealer say it is a malfunction of the sensor"
Anonymous A., MN (2018 Audi Q7 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)""Sense purchase the parking brake sensor will report a failure. Repeated attempts to report under warranty and get fixed by the dealership it was never successfully resolved, and now the warranty has expired, so I dont do anything but restart the car to get the sensor to reset.""
Anonymous, NC (2018 Audi Q7 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)""Has been a problem for years and the dealer acknowledges it as so, and yet they are unable to fix the problem.""
Anonymous A., WA (2018 Audi Q7 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)"A very loud squeaking in the brakes particularly in the winter and backing up. Annoying and really embarrassing"
Anonymous A., SK (2018 Audi Q7 3.0T 3.0-L V6 supercharged)""We were informed that this is a known issue and requires an inexpensive spring to resolve. However, labor to install is very expensive.""

""Parking brake warning light comes on stating failure of parking brake or that it's not working. However, the brake works & engages just fine, so apparently something's messed up with sensor. Diagnostics by Audi dealer 2 separate & different times couldn't find the issue, yet it still occasionally happens.""
