Two large windshield chipping in less than 3500 miles. Very bizarre considering the cost of the car. I own another vehicle, similar size (VW touareg 2012). It was hit many times and there are barely any marks left on the windshield. Is acoustic windshield (which my car is equipped with) less resistant to cracks and breaks?

When the steering wheel is turned there is a squeaky sound as if something is rubbing against some other thing. I took it to the dealership and they couldn't figure out the problem but did recognize the issue. They changed the whole suspension and the electrical steering system but the noise is still there. I took my car back from and was on a vacation when noticed large amount of smoke coming from below the vehicle. I parked the car on the side and checked for fire but there was none. I let the car cool down and then parked the car in the hotel. Later I drove back home and had a similar issue of smoke coming from below the car. I have dropped the car for the third time in the last 1.5 months to the dealership. It appears that there is some kind of manufacturing fault in it or it's a lemon that they sold to me. The car was stationery when the smoke was noticed but I believe that the smoke must be there even in motion as well. The squeaky sound comes when the car is in motion at low speed specifically when turning.

The heads up display produces a distracting glare right in the drivers line of sight. While driving on sunny days this becomes a problem.

There is a defect with the heads up display that causes a bright glare to be reflected in the windshield. Right in the drivers line of sight. This happens on sunny days at midday while driving certain directions. Please check the Audi world forum and you will see postings of other people who have the same problem. There are photos of the glare as well. Search Audi Q7 head up display windshield glare on the Audi world forum. Lots of pictures of the glare. The glare happens while driving and moves around as the car changes direction. Think of a mirror reflecting light. The shiny surface of the head up display case reflects a bright light onto the windshield.

Head up display reflector system, under specific light condition (sun orientation) produces glares which can vary in size and brightness. Some of the reflections and glares are small and can be ignored but some glares are very bright and rather large and positioned right on the eye line height. It is a major distraction for a driver. This can be safety issue if glare occurs in a spot covering a street light or pedestrian.
