Audi Q7 Visibility problems by year

Right passenger windshield wiper arm, broke off and windshield during driving. It started to sprinkle and the automatic windshield wipers came on. The right passenger side wiper arm broke off and went flying over the vehicle. Fortunately the vehicle behind me was far away and was able to maneuver out of the way. I checked and the whole arm broke, not the wiper blade. The drivers side is fine. I read that this is a common issue and that many drivers have had the exact issue on the same side. This spans over several years. I saw from 2008 Q7 to 2016.

Turned on the car and within a few minutes smoke filled up the whole car. The smoke was coming from the rear wiper from the inside. Seems to be coming from the wiper motor but can't tell until I take the plastic cover off. Started smoking immediately every time I turned the car on, tested it a total of 3 times. Strange caramel colored residue left on the back window from the inside. Smells terrible. The car was stationary the whole tome and parked in a neighborhood. Surprised a fire didn't start because of the amount of smoke. Some research on this saying some people had an actual fire inside the car.

The passanger wiper arm snapped off while driving. It was during heavy rain conditions.

The fan blower failed, causing the windshield defroster to not work. The windshield became foggy with zero visibility while operating the vehicle. On 2 occasions in december, 2018. This is a serious safety issue that nearly resulted in a crash due to the inability to see. No pictures were taken as it would have been too unsafe to do so. Service was required to replace the blower assembly to correct the issue so it doesn't happen again.

My passenger windshield wiper flew off while I was driving on the highway. It was raining pretty hard and the automatic wipers were going pretty fast when suddenly it snapped off and flew behind me.

During a heavy rain, the two wipers locked each other up, the driver side moved down but the passenger side did not, cause the locked up, putting me in a very serious situation, luckily, it was a overpass near by and I stayed there until the rain was stopped. I took my car to the bluegrass audi in louisville, kentucky to report the problem, but they told me that I have to pay for it because my car was out of warranty. I don't mind to pay for the repair, but this is a safety issue, someone may get injured or killed because of this defective from audi.

Passenger side wiper failed while driving in heavy rain. Appears many audi q7 owners experienced this failure. Not sure what the problem is. When wiper failed, I had family in my car and I lost visibilty on the highway and almost caused a serious accident and harm to my family for a recurring issue that needs to be resolved as it will happen again. The wipers were on and then all of a sudden the passenger wiper stops and becomes entagled with the driver side wiper breaking the driver side wiper because the driver...

Driving on a causeway while raining and suddenly passenger side wiper arm broke. It made huge noise and thanks god it did not break the windsheild or hit anybody behind the wheel.

But this windshield wiper system should have been recalled due to safety concern.
