“Driving on interstate 29 and SUV started acting funny and then stopped. Called Audi care and they had truck towed to omaha ne. They put in new fuel tank, pump and line. Had my SUV in shop for two weeks less than two weeks later driving and all the sudden my gas light comes on. I stopped and put gas in and got home. Drove into the garage and fuel was running out from under the truck. Called Audi care again and couldn't get towed until fuel stopped leaking because of safety concerns. Truck has been in shop for over two weeks again. …”
NHTSA complaint #11246644, filed 2019-08, 15,800 miles“Fuel pump failed and is leaking on my 2018 Audi Q7. Audi has confirmed it will need to be replaced at my cost. Audi also confirmed it has an extended warranty to replace the faulty fuel pump on other model years on the same q7 vehicle model, for 150,000 miles. It appears that to rectify the issue, the same part is replaced as on the warranty fix. Why was model year 2018 not included in the warranty if it is the same part?”
NHTSA complaint #11547804, filed 2023-10“The problem: I was driving and noticed a high remaining fuel range, or a fuel gauge that appears to be stuck at a specific level, I ran out of gas while in motion, and my engine stalled almost causing a crash on the highway. My vehicle was towed to the Kansas City Audi dealer and they have identified the same issue in the recall in the NHTSA campaign number: 22V155. Audi’s own number for this recall is 20DN. The dealer has quoted $5,000 to make the repair (My vehicle is currently at the dealer). …”
