Filled gas tank and noticed fuel leaking from top of the tank to the ground near the inside of the passenger side real wheel. Fuel stops leaking after it drops below 3/4 full. Took the car to the audi dealership thinking it was failure of the rollover/filler neck valve recall again (nhtsa recall #08v157000). Audi said the filler neck was dry, but there IS a leak somewhere on top of fuel tank on the same side as the filler neck. They said they could not see where the leak was coming from without dropping the fuel tank from the car. Audi quoted the repair for completely replacing the fuel tank at ~$3400. A fuel tank should never leak, and this IS an extreme safety concern, not only for the drivers and passengers of the car, but all others on the road. This IS also a failure of an emissions component that audi needs to be responsible for since there IS raw fuel leaking all over the road.

I was driving at about 65 mph. I went to pass another car in a passing zone so I accelerated full throttle. The gas pedal stuck and the car continued to accelerate. I braked and maneuvered the car to the side of the road and turned it off. After a while it released. I started the car again and continued home, not pushing the pedal down any farther than necessary. I will take it in to be fixed. There was nothing obscuring the pedal and the floor mat was clicked into place. I found no evidence of a recall, but many audi owners have reported similar experiences, so I am not sure why this isn't a recall issue. *tr

Fuel vapors and leaking fuel appears when the fuel tank IS filled beyond 3/4 tank. This IS unsafe for the car to be parked inside of the garage. The fumes make passengers feel ill. Audi service departments want to charge over $2500 to repair. A recall for the rollover valve has been performed…
Fuel vapors and leaking fuel appears when the fuel tank IS filled beyond 3/4 tank. This IS unsafe for the car to be parked inside of the garage. The fumes make passengers feel ill. Audi service departments want to charge over $2500 to repair. A recall for the rollover valve has been performed; however the audi service techs say the leakage IS coming from small cracks in the defective tank. Unable to have the repair done because of costs I have driven the car with less than1/2 tank of fuel for several years . The state of utah will no longer pass my vehicle inspection due to the emissions issue. My fear IS the leaking fuel could be ignited by any number of sources including exhaust/heat from the vehicle. Passengers should never have to be subject to vapors inside of a vehicle. I have been to 3 different utah audi dealerships and 1 independent audi repair garage. I have also contacted audi customer relations @ 1-800-253-2834. All of the audi representatives and technicians have played dumb regarding this issue; yet the issue can be found in a number of forums where others have dealt with the same issue. Audi refuses to take responsibility or even show real concern for this safety and environmental issue. *tr

I recently bought my audi and throughout the summer it drove just fine, but once winter came around and the temperatures dropped, I noticed the smell of gas in my car as soon as it was started. I opened the hood and there was gas spraying from what looked like all six fuel injectors. So I took the car to a mechanic, where they replaced numerous things (fuel pressure regulator, o rings, valve system, and all 6 fuel injectors) all to no avail. Nobody can tell me what IS wrong, nobody knows. I called audi and they told me I could take it to a dealership but that they couldn't promise they can fix the car. I can't drive the car, it IS a safety hazard. I have looked on many forums and there have been a few other people with the same problem but nobody can figure out what IS wrong. IS there a recall, or any information you can give as to how to fix this problem?? *tr

The audi was stopped at a stop light when the rpm meter started to drop revs suddenly. Once the car was in motion the engine felt rough. The car was driven 3 miles with no further incidence and was parked for the night. The next day when the car was started in the morning the check engine light came on and the engine started to get very sluggish and shuddering. The car was immediately stopped and the diagnostic codes were pulled. The codes showed multiple cylinder misfires with specific misfires in cylinder 2 and three. The car was towed to an audi dealer where this was confirmed. The dealership mentioned that there was a voluntary recall for exactly this issue. This IS a safety issue. *tr

This car has been great to me. Aside from a fuel pump going, just recently I was driving on the freeway and the car died. The epc light on the dash popped up and luckily I was able to coast to the side of the road. I attempted to start the car several times before calling aaa (15-20 min) while on the phone with aaa I attempted to start the car again and it fired right up. thinking it was just a one time issue I got back on the freeway where 10 mile or so later same the same thing happened. another 20 min of waiting before it cranked again at this point I was in a b ad area with my family and everyone was getting nervous. after it started the epc light stayed on this time and I experienced loss of power and the car coughed and stumbled terribly when I needed it most. I managed to make it home and let the car sit for a day. Hoped in and it cranked right up. No problems 15 miles later it happened again. after talking with other valued audi owners and looking over the audi owner forums. I have found this to be a quite common problem with the audi across the range of there a series from 1997-2011. please help! *tr

My check engine light IS marking misfire but I have gotten a complete tune-up, changed all 6 coils on the engine changed all the spark plugs, I've done everything possible and changed everything I can that has to do with the engine all brand new and nothing has worked and its still saying misfire...i've googled this problem for audi's and there were so many people complaining about the same thing... Also, I am having a problem with the electrical system as well one day my windows work the next it doesn't sometimes my lights will work and sometimes it doesn't, sometimes my radio will work some times it doesn't, the information on my dash sometimes doesn't light up and I can't see anything at night time, I have constantly been to the mechanics trying to figure out what's going on but we can't find the problem, I've spent so much money on this car trying to fix the problems but its really making it hard for me to keep spending money on my car and not being able to figure out what's wrong with it. This IS very dangerous because if I'm driving at night time and my lights end up not working I can cause a very big accident I am very very concerned about these defects, my safety and others safety and would really appreciate if you can please investigate this problem because its happened to so many people. I also think something IS wrong with the fuel system I'll put $60 in gas and two days later it'll almost mark empty I really don't understand how that IS possible but if there's an answer I would really want to know. Thank you so much and I really appreciate your time. *tr

I have 3 major concerns regarding my 2002 audi A6 3.0 quattro. I will start with the most dangerous problem first...1) the anti-lock brakes that kick in unexpectedly. The abs/esp problem started in may, 2007, with the abs/esp light coming on intermittently, resulting in us replacing the brake light switch. The problem didn't happen again until the anti-lock brakes kicked in, in aug., 2009. With no definite, inexpensive fix from the dealer, we decided to see if the problem persisted. It did, bringing the car back in sept., 2009 & again in june, 2010. At this time, I had a private import garage replace the rotation rate sensor, which was what the dealer said the problem could be. The problem persisted further, with the light coming on every few months, until the brakes kicked in while going 60 mph, making the car skid & jerk to a stop, pulling me off the road in late sept, 2010. It was absolutely terrifying! I had the car back to the dealer immediately, where they were unable to verify the concern. since then, I have not had problems with it again until april, 2011, when the light starting coming back on at random moments & now yesterday, the anti-lock brakes kicked in while the cruise was set on 60 mph. I am terrified to continue to drive this vehicle. I contacted audi of america in october 2010 with no help available! Now on to problem #2)THE flooding in the interior floorboard causing the transmission module to have to be replaced. I spent thousands in oct, 2010 to fix problems caused by a water leak in the car. The dealer replaced the right rear window & door channels & seals, saying this was the problem. I found the floorboard wet again in march, 2011 & had to pay for the cracked pollen filter housing to be fixed. A little help from audi on that, but these well-documented problems with my car continue to be un-fixable. I've found complaints of these problems from others, am contacting a lawyer about my state's lemon law, & am so disappointed in audi! *tr

Nhtsa campaign number: 08v157000 volkswagen IS recalling 68,240 my 2001-2004 audi A6 quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7L, 2.8L, or 3.0L engines and my 2001-2005 allroad quattro vehicles equipped with 2.7L or 4.2L engines. The aging of the plastic material in the fuel tank rollover valve combined with bending stress from the aluminum ventilation line to the rollover valve nipple may lead to cracking of the nipple. If this happens, a fuel leak may result. this IS the 3RD time I've made a complaint. I have a 2002 audi A6 with this problem and yet no one will listen to me. The reason IS that my engine IS not included in the recall. It IS the 4.2 V8 in the sedan. Audi covered that engine on the allroad version and all other engines on the sedan, so my engine was the only version no covered. I personally spent $1200 attempting to fix the problem, but I'm told the leak has returned and the noticeable smell of gas IS a tell-tale sign. The mechanic stated and I agree, that the engine displacement has nothing to do with the leak. All the tanks are the same and the 4.2L shouldn't be omitted from this recall. The smell and potential danger IS most evident when I fill the tank beyond 3/4 full. Every time I start my car, I wonder if this will be the explosion day. Please don't wait until my car explodes to agree with me. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(B)(6). *tr

Volkswagen (VW) IS recalling certain VW passat 4motion and audi A6 quattro and allroad quattro all-wheel drive passenger cars.vw vehicles subject to recall were manufactured from november 22, 2000 through may 31, 2005 and audi vehicles subject to recall were manufactured from june 2, 2001 to june 1, 2005.the nhtsa recall number for the VW vehicles IS 08v-156 (VW also IS correcting defects related to heat shield and fuel line hazards for these vehicles and for 1999-2000 passats in this recall action.)the nhtsa recall number for the audi vehicles IS 08v-157.since 2006, odi has received 17 complaints of fuel leaking from the subject vehicles' fuel tanks.the 400 complaints shown above may include duplicate reports to odi and the manufacturer. While the consequence (fuel leaks from the top of the tank) IS similar for both the passat and audi subject vehicles, differences in design and construction require a different remedy for each vehicle.on the passats, the ventilation line could have been installed improperly with tension and with an incorrectly positioned cable tie.the tension could cause cracked or broken nipples on the fuel tank rollover valve.on the audi vehicles, a material change (effective june 2, 2001) with different aging characteristics used for the rollover valve and the use of an inflexible aluminum ventilation line could cause cracking of the nipple on the rollover valve.vw IS recalling all vehicles subject to these defects.it will inspect passats to ensure that the vent line IS tension free and correct the installation if tension IS found.if a crack or fuel leak IS found, VW will replace the fuel tank.audi will repair all subject vehicles by reinforcing the fuel tank rollover valve with an epoxy adhesive.this investigation IS closed.

- 10210679This condition may be caused when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed simultaneously. Drivers who drive with their left foot resting on the brake pedal are prone to experience this condition. With the introduction of Electronic Power Control (EPC) (no accelerator cable) to fuel injection systems, an engine RPM control feature has been incorporated into the engine electronic control system software. Customer states that the engine returns to idle speed of approximately 1,400 RPM although the accelerator is depressed, and/or the vehicle hesitates (lacks power on take-off).
- 10210650This condition may be caused when the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are depressed simultaneously. Drivers who consciously or unconsciously drive with their left foot resting on the brake pedal are prone to experience this condition. With the introduction of Electronic Power Control (EPC) (no accelerator cable) to fuel injection systems, an engine RPM control feature has been incorporated into the engine electronic control system software. As a result, application of the brake and accelerator pedals at the same time (brake pedal with left foot and accelerator pedal with right foot) results in the following: ? Brake pedal function (normal at all times) overrides any throttle application. ? Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) will not be stored. ? When the brake pedal is applied while the accelerator is depressed, engine RPMs will return to idle speeds of 1400 RPMs after approximately two seconds. ? When the accelerator is applied while the brake pedal is depressed, the vehicle accelerates slower than usual (reduced engine torque).
