2014 Audi Q7 FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ENGINE

The contact owns a 2014 Audi Q7. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, there was a fuel and exhaust odor entering the cabin of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the odor was more prominent in colder weather and the failure had occurred intermittently while the vehicle was idling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.

CAR PERIODICALLY STALLS ON ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, EVEN THOUGH ENGINE IS UP TO NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE. CAR WILL GET TO APPROX 10-15 MPH, THEN STALL, WITH A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. MUST PUSH GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO OVERCOME THE STALL, THEN THE CAR LEAPS FORWARD, SPINNING THE TIRES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. AM VERY CONCERNED WHENEVER I START UP AT AN INTERSECTION, AS I DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS SITUATION WILL OCCUR. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE CORRECTED. *TR
