2014 Audi Q5 FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Unknown, but can assure the gas tanks has cracks and leaking gas, along with the smell of gas inside the car and outside the car. Called Audi and spoke with a rep but they dont want to acknowledge the recall which was issued for the vehicle. I made an appointment with Audi New Orleans, but the earliest appointment to get the vehicle check is August 28th, 2023. I have to go to work and the car can possibly catch a fire to the tank actually leaking. This is extremely dangerous and life threating. I definetly need help because let Audi tell it they dont see a recall at all for my vehicle.

MY CAR IS A REALLY STRONG ODOR OF FUEL OR GASOLINE IN THE CABIN IT'S SUPER SEVERE AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S COMING FROMDOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S RUNNING IF I'M DRIVING SUMMER STARTING IT IT'S IT'S JUST TAKES A LITTLE WHILE FOR IT TO START TO STINK AND THEN ONCE IT'S BEEN ON FOR A COUPLE MINUTES IT STARTS TO JUST WREAK

LEAKING FUEL, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF FIRE AND CAR STALLS ETC.. *TR

100,000 KMS ON THE VEHICLE THE HYBRID SYSTEM DOESN'T TURN ON WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE CAR GOES "LIMP". DOESN'T MOVE EVEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. RADIO, FAN ETC STILL WORKS. HTTPS://WWW.EXPRESS.CO.UK/LIFE-STYLE/CARS/999934/VW-AUDI-PORSCHE-RECALL-HYBRID-ELECTRIC-CARS-POISONOUS-ELEMENT

PARTICULATE SENSOR (PARTICLE SENSOR LAMBDA DPF DIESEL AUDI A4 B9 A6 A7 A8 Q5 Q7 4G0906261B) IN THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF) FILTER FAILED AT 56K MILES, 4 YEARS INTO THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A $500 (APROX) PART, AND IT IS RELATED TO THE DIESEL EMISSIONS CONTROL SYSTEM, WHICH IS NOT YET PATCHED UNDER THE VW TDI PROGRAM. I AM BEING TOLD BY THE SERVICE THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL SENSOR IS REPLACED, AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY COVERAGE.

DROVE ON HAWTHORNE BOULEVARD CLOSE TO TORRANCE BOULEVARD LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM AUDI DEALERSHIP WHEN THE CAR START TO SHAKE AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ASIDE AND AFTER FEW SECONDS THE ENGINE WAS WORKING FINE BUT A MESSAGE ON THE BOARD MENTIONING THE AUTO STOP START FUNCTION WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE ASSOCIATED SYMBOL TURNED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO AUDI DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRM THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

FUEL TANK LEAK. WENT FOR A NORMAL UNEVENTFUL DRIVE FROM HOWARD COUNTY MARYLAND TO VIRGINIA SUBURBS AND CAME HOME BACK AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE ON FRIDAY THE 13TH!. WOKE UP IN THE MORNING TO A GARAGE THAT SMELLED VERY HEAVILY LIKE GAS. LOOKED BELOW THE AUDI Q5 AND SAW A SMALL PUDDLE OF GAS. PARKED THE CAR OUTSIDE THE GARAGE AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED THAT THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND ASKED TO CALL AUDI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE FOR A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP. AUDI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE ASKED ME TO CALL THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE SURE IT IS NOT A FIRE HAZARD. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED AFTER THE LOCAL FIRE DEPT. MADE SURE THIS IS NOT A FIRE HAZARD WHILE BEING TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME TODAY (MONDAY THE 16TH OF JULY 2014) TO TELL ME THAT THE GAS TANK WAS HIT BY SOME ROAD DEBRIS AND ALSO MENTIONED THAT THERE ARE SOME SCRATCHES IN THE FUEL TANK AND WAS NOT SURE WHY THE LEAK IS OCCURRING. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAND NEW Q5 IS JUST 2 WEEKS OLD, THE REPAIRS WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND ITS APPROX. $5,000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE CALLED AUDI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM AT THIS TIME. I'M ALSO FILING THE COMPLAINT HERE SINCE THIS ISSUE SEEMS LIKE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN. HOW COULD A LEISURELY UNEVENTFUL DRIVE IN A BRAND NEW SUV ON THE FREEWAY LEAD TO THE FUEL TANK BEING RUPTURED OR CRACKED FROM ROAD DEBRIS! THIS JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. SINCE IT WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT IN A CLOSED GARAGE I WAS ABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE. I'M WORRIED THAT THERE MAY BE OTHERS PARKED IN THE ROAD THAT MAY NOT FIND THE ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE WHILE ON THE MOVE OR IT COULD BURN DOWN THE HOUSE IF PARKED IN A CLOSED GARAGE FOR EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. *TR
