THIS MORNING MY WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT OF ONE SUPERMARKET. I USED THE KEY TO START THE CAR AND OPENED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO LOAD THE STUFF. MY NANNY OPENED 2ND ROW PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO SIT MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR SEAT. AFTER THEN WE BOTH CLOSED THE DOORS. I TRIED TO OPEN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND MY NANNY TRIED TO OPEN THE 2ND ROW DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. BUT WE COULDN'T OPEN BOTH DOORS! I TRIED TO OPEN THE TRUNK. BUT I COULDN'T OPEN IT. ALL DOORS JUST AUTOMATICALLY LOCKED WHEN THE CAR WAS FULLY STOPPED AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. MY 16 MONTHS OLD BABY WAS LOCKED IN THE CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2014 Audi Q7 verdict →
