2014 Audi A6 FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 AUDI A6. CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND JERKED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED AN ABNORMAL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT VEERED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROADWAY, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON WHICH FAILED TO RESUME BACK TO NORMAL. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR WHICH FAILED TO EXCEED 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RIDGELAND AUTO WORLD (750 RIDGEWOOD RD, RIDGELAND, MS 39157, (601) 899-8500), WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, AND DETERMINED THAT THE WATER PUMP AND A LEAKING FUEL LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V781000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, MY 2014 AUDI A6 DEVELOPS FUEL-LIKE FUMES FILLING THE CABIN AND TRUNK. THE FUMES BECOME MORE INTENSE/PRONOUNCED WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR WHEN MOVING THROUGH TRAFFIC. SEVERAL TIMES IN 2019, MY AUDI HESITATED THEN STOPPED TWICE IN TRAFFIC. ONCE ON A CITY ROAD AND THE OTHER TIME ON THE LEFT LANE OF A HIGHWAY. AUDI SERVICE DIAGNOSED A GAS PUMP ISSUE. HOWEVER, A REPLACEMENT GAS PUMP DID NOT FULLY PREVENT GAS FUMES FROM DEVELOPING IN THE CAR. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID 17V781000/VOLKSWAGEN 20AR. BUT, I'VE BEEN TOLD OTHERWISE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND YOUR SITE. *TR

I HAVE A FUEL LEAKAGE ON THE LOWER RIGHT SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND AS SOON AS I PARK THE VEHICLE I CAN FEEL THE FUEL SMELL ALL AROUND MY VEHICLE. I HAVE GIVEN MY VEHICLE TO AUTHORIZED AUDI DEALER (BELL AUDI,EDISON) AND THEY NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE RECALL GOING ON AUDI VEHICLES

THERE IS A FUEL SMELL INSIDE THE CAR AND IN THE GARAGE WHERE IT IS PARKED. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC MOVING AT 5-10 MILES PER HOUR, THE SMELL IS VERY NOTICEABLE INSIDE THE CAR.
