- Class Action Lawsuit Audi Q7 - Piston Defect - A class action alleges certain 2012-2017 model year Audi vehicles with 2.0-liter turbocharged engines are plagued by a potentially catastrophic piston ring defect.

We purchased a 2017 Q7 with low mileage. At around 75k miles the engine started consuming oil every 1,200 miles, when previously it never required an oil change before the regularly scheduled service. The dealer always said "that is 'in spec'". Then, some months later, when we were driving cross-country for Thanksgiving, the engine made a major concussive noise and we lost power while driving on the freeway at around 70mph. It was winter and we had the entire family in the car.
The dealership said it was the fuel injectors, and then they said it was the louvers that control air flow over the engine. We've paid over $10k in repair costs. Engine continues to burn oil at around every 1000 miles. Recently had to change the spark plugs due to fouling. I began researching this oil consumption online and found out this is a known issue with Audi Q7, and there are several class action lawsuits. I now assume the spark plug fouling is due to oil in the piston chamber. I would like to know if there is any class action suit that already covers our car.
