The Audi Q7 commonly has electrical system issues reported across the 2019 to 2026 model years. Owners report intermittent dashboard warning lights, infotainment screen freezes, and sensor errors. These faults can require control module diagnostics or replacement and may reduce confidence in the vehicle's reliability.
Suspension problems are a commonly reported issue area for the 2019-2026 Audi Q7. Symptoms include uneven ride height, a harsh or noisy ride, and failure of air suspension components such as air struts or the compressor. If air springs fail, the vehicle can sit low or become immobile, and repairs are expensive.
Forward collision avoidance is a reported problem area across the covered model years, with the 2025 model year specifically cited for owner complaints. Symptoms can include false alerts or unresponsive collision warnings that may require sensor calibration or replacement. Related ADAS repairs typically cost several hundred to over a thousand dollars.
Yes, the 2025 Audi Q7 has two recorded owner complaints related to the lane departure system. Symptoms may include unresponsive lane departure warnings or false alerts. The research does not provide a specific repair cost for this subcategory.
Yes, the 2025 Audi Q7 has two recorded owner complaints related to the back over prevention system. Symptoms may include rear cross-traffic alerts failing or activating incorrectly. The research does not provide a specific repair cost for this subcategory.
Yes. The 2024 Lexus TX, including all powertrains, is covered by recall 24V461000 because the curtain airbag may fail to deploy in a side impact or rollover, increasing injury risk. The remedy is a dealer inspection and replacement done free of charge under federal recall law, so confirm the recall has been completed before buying.
Yes. The 2026 Lexus TX is covered by campaign 26V437000, in which the rear axle carrier may have been manufactured with insufficient material strength and could break. A broken rear axle carrier can cause loss of vehicle control; because remedy notices were still being mailed as of August 2026, ask the seller or dealer specifically whether campaign 26V437000 has been performed.
Yes. The 2024 and 2025 Lexus TX models have software recalls for an instrument-panel display bug, a rearview-camera freeze, and a separate rearview-image bug. These defects can reduce driver visibility or awareness when reversing, and the no-charge remedy is a dealer-installed software update; verify the updates are already installed.
Yes. The 2025 Lexus TX is affected by campaign 26V179000, which addresses an incorrect load-capacity label. The inaccurate label could lead an owner to overload the vehicle unknowingly, and the remedy is a free corrected label; this campaign is non-structural.
