Q7 Brakes Lawsuit Might Be All Squeal and No Bite
Audi has been sued for installing noisy brakes in the 2015-2018 Q7, but the automaker says the suit is all squeal and no bite. The plaintiff points to three service bulletins as evidence that Audi is aware of the issue, but in their motion to dismiss the automaker says brakes are subject to wear and tear and that noise doesn’t always represent a defect.
Lawsuit Details ∞
- The proposed class-action lawsuit includes nearly 100,000 former and current owners and lessees of 2015-2018 Audi Q7 SUVs.
- It probably won’t help the case that the plaintiff had her brakes fixed, for free, two weeks after filing the suit.
