“High pitch noise you can hear from the fuel pump. Car stalled on me. My VIN is not apart of the current NHTSA campaign number: 15v229000. Would like to get my fuel pump replaced before it stalls or won't start again on me.”
NHTSA complaint #11130439, filed 2018-09, 25,561 miles“Under inflated left front tire message came on. Took it to Audi service center in gainesville, fl. After checking the tires, the engine would not start. After several attempts it started but kept stalling. They ordered a n290 valve and replaced it, still have same problem and no warning messages. They contacted Audi headquarters yesterday, but have not resolved the problem. Waiting to hear from them.”
NHTSA complaint #11132942, filed 2018-10, 62,000 miles“Check engine/ epc- both lights have signaled a dozen times. The first few times the dealership called them misfires . Eventually the car symptoms started to progress: when car is idling, car starts to act like it is about to stall. Then it progressed to hard/jerky shifts into 1st or 2nd gear. Now even at higher speeds it starts acting up- giving the feeling that the car may stall. This is a daily issue. Twice now car has failed to accelerate while entering highway. The worst situation occurred when car was bucking and refusing to go into 2nd gear. …”
