Driving on a Saturday evening when it started raining. Wipers automatically engaged, suddenly saw passenger side blade warp then snap off and fly off the to the side of the street causing the driver behind me to swerve almost causing an accident. I pulled over immediately, to retrieve the piece to try and determine what happened. Saw that it just snapped off and flew off without any notice.

2 separate occasions now, the passenger-side windshield wipers have broken off. This is apparently a common incident with some Audi vehicles due to poor manufacturing/design. Audi has not implemented a recall. This is a safety concern as the wipers have broken off while I was driving and could hit another vehicle!

I was driving in the rain with my wipers on, set on low when the passenger side wiper ejected itself and the wiper arm broke near the base. To keep my windshield from being scratched I had to turn my wipers off altogether forcing me to drive in the unsafe condition of poor visibility. There were no signs that the arm was about to break or the wiper was about to come off, they did so very suddenly.

The wiper arm broke off from the mounting assembly at the base. Conditions were medium rain. Temperature approximately 50 degrees (F). Driving at legal highway speed of 55 mph. There was no object collision. It simply snapped, leaving only the driver wiper functional.

The has been a lot of incident that an Audi Q7 right wiper blade can snapped off and can hit another car of person while driving in a highway. I was driving last night and luckily slowed down about to make a turn when all of a sudden my passenger wiper arm just snapped in half. If I was driving faster at that time, that could have went flying and hit another car behind me. The wiper arm is metal and the end where it snapped is sharp. When I search the internet, it seems like this is a common problem with this model car and Audi is not doing anything about it and waiting for someone to get hurt first. Forum that I found of similar incidents. Https://www.audiworld.com/forums/Q7-discussion-112/passenger-side-wiper-arm-broke-completely-off-2895850/
