Common problems with the 2019 A7

NHTSA's file holds 43 owner complaints on the 2019 Audi A7. Owners named the electrical system most often: 24 complaints, and half of the 7 that list a mileage came after 18,000 miles. A complaint can name more than one component.

Mileage when owners reported a problem with the 2019 A7

The 17 mileages owners gave run from 100 to 50,000 miles, and half are at or under 4,000. With fewer than 20 mileages this page gives the median only: the other percentiles are too few to say. None came after 100,000 miles, none after 150,000 and none after 200,000.

These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2019 A7 wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Most of these reports came early in the vehicle's life: all 17 came at or under 100,000 miles, so they say nothing about how many miles a 2019 A7 can cover.

Complaint mileage also follows a model year's age: the 2019 has had less time to cover miles than older years, so its figures will rise as it ages.

Is the 2019 A7 a good year?

Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2019 is a good or a bad A7: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2019 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.

With 43 complaints, the 2019 drew the most of the 5 Audi A7 model years from 2012 to 2019 with 10 or more complaints. The fewest: the 2014 (11).

Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.

What these figures can and cannot tell you

  • Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
  • The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
  • The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
  • They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2019 A7 lasts.
  • A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2019 A7.
  • Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
  • 26 of the 43 complaints on the 2019 Audi A7 give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
  • NHTSA name counted: A7. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only this one.
  • Recall-file name matched: A7.
