ON SATURDAY 10/26/2019 AS I LEFT MY OFFICE TO HEAD HOME THAT DAY FROM WORK MY EPC LIGHT AND ENGINE MIL LIGHT IN MY DASHBOARD CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I STARTED TO SMELL GAS FUMES IN THE CAR AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT LIKE A FIRE HAD STARTED. I SHUT OFF THE CAR, GOT OUT AND OPENED ALL THE DOORS AND AS I APPROACHED THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I SPOTTED LARGE AMOUNTS OF FUEL LEAKING FROM UNDERNEATH WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED. I CALLED MY AUTHORIZED MECHANIC AS HE HAS DEALT WITH MY VEHICLE BEFORE AND HE CAME AND DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, HOOKED IT UP TO HIS COMPUTER AND GAVE HIM A FEW ERROR CODES. 1 WAS FOR THE FUEL PUMP, ANOTHER FOR THE AFTER RUN COOLANT PUMP. HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ITSELF THAT'S CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY FUEL STARTED LEAKING ALL OVER THE FLOOR UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE WHERE THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED. HE ALSO ALERTED ME TO A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT SHOWED UP ON HIS COMPUTER THAT SHOWED A RECALL

I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO AUDI USA, LAS VEGAS AUDI AND THE FINANCE COMPANY. TODAY IT HAPPENED 1 YEAR AND 1 DAY AFTER IT HAPPENED LAST. I PARKED AT THE STORE RAN IN AND CAME OUT TURNED ON THE CAR AND THE EPC LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON REPAIRS, CAR RENTALS, RIDESHARES AND REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER. I AM NOT SURE WHAT RECOURSE I HAVE BUT I NEED ASSISTANCE.

4 YEAR OLD CAR 3 MONTHS PAST 4 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY AND MAJOR OIL LEAK, WHICH IF NOT REPAIRED CAN NEGATIVELY IMPACT ENGINE. BOTH VALVE COVER GASKETS AND TIMING CHAIN COVER GASKETS ARE LEAKING. WHEN ASKED SERVICE CONSULTANT AT AUDI HOW OFTEN THIS HAPPENS, HE SAID IN 15-20% OF CARS BY 50,000 MILES (I HAVE 46,000 +). THIS IS A MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SHOULD BE MADE PART OF A RECALL. I AM PAYING OVER $2000.00 FOR THIS REPAIR AFTER A 10% DISCOUNT WITH A DEALERSHIP "COUPON". THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT OF THESE PARTS AND IT IS INEXCUSABLE THAT AUDI PASS THIS DEFECT AND THE COSTS ON TO 15-20% OF CUSTOMERS AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP AND COMPREHENSIVE MAINTENANCE . THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO HAVE PREVENTED THIS FROM OCCURRING . I THINK THE NTSB CAN ALERT AUDI TO THE . FACT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CARS THEY ARE SELLING, CAUSING UNNECESSARY COSTS AND BURDENS AND POSSIBLE ENGINE HAZARDS TO CONSUMERS.

I RELEASED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT PUSHING THE RED RELEASE MECHANISM AFTER I PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED IT OFF. WHEN I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE I DISCOVERED THE SEAT BELT HAD, IN FACT, NOT RETRACTED BUT HAD TWISTED ITSELF INTO THE HOLDER. I WAS UNABLE TO FREE IT. IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT OR REWIND. AUDI CHARGED ME THE REPAIR. WHEN I OBJECTED STATING IT WAS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT AND AS IT IS A SAFETY ITEM THAT IS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE USABLE, THE SAFETY BELT SHOULD HAVE BEEN WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD AUDI DOESN'T DO THAT. AS THEY DID NOT QUOTE ME OR TELL ME THE ITEM WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, THEY REDUCED THE CHARGE TO HALF THE AMOUNT THEY WANTED TO BE PAID. IT SHOULD BE THAT ALL SEAT BELTS ARE UNDER WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT WHEN IT HAS BEEN OBVIOUSLY CUT OFF/VANDALIZED. YEARS AGO I HAD A HONDA THAT HAD A SEAT BELT ISSUE AND HONDA REPAIRED IT AT NO CHARGE. THANK YOU.

THEY CLAIMED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THAT WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE DELAY THE TRANSMISSION THAT IS ALSO TURBOCHARGED, MAKES NORMALLY. UNCONVINCED AND STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND JERKING NOW AT LOW RPMS, AND GROWLING METAL NOISE ACCELERATING ON INCLINE, I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AT 46,053 MILES ON FEBRUARY 5TH, 2018. THIS TIME AGAIN, THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. FINALLY, ON NOVEMBER 12TH, 2018 I TAKE IT IN AGAIN COMPLAINING OF THE SAME ISSUES, THIS TIME IM AT 55,553 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY WERE APPARENTLY ABLE TO REPLICATE IT THIS TIME AND ADVISED ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THAT AUDI IS UNDER THE SCOPE REGARDING FAULTY CVT TRANSMISSIONS, THIS CAR IS A MONTH SHY OF 5 YEARS, VALU

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR DISCONNECTING ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP. I CALLED TWO DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE STATES "UNTIL THE RECALL WORK IS DONE, YOU SHOULD PARK OUTDOORS AS A PRECAUTION IN CASE OF A VEHICLE FIRE DUE TO THE SAFETY DEFECT". I WAS TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY PARTS IN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF MY CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE. WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS??
