Consumer Description

MY 2003 AUDI A6 QUATTRO SPUTTERED, CHOKED AND DIED AS I TRIED TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART AND THEN DID THE SAME THING AS I TRIED TO PULL OUT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD, AND COMPLETELY FAILED. VEHICLE HAD TO PUSHED OUT OF TRAFFIC AND TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH ASSISTANCE, THEN TOWED TO NEARBY GARAGE. DIAGNOSED THAT FUEL PUMP WAS CAUSE OF FAILURE. MECHANIC SAID THEY COULD TAP ON THE FUEL PUMP TO GET IT TO RUN, WHICH CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. I WAS ALSO ADVISED BY THE GARAGE THAT MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN SUBJECT OF FUEL PUMP RECALLS, ALTHOUGH AUDI DENIED THAT MY VEHICLE FELL UNDER THAT PARTICULAR RECALL. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I FAILED TWICE AS I WAS ENTERING TRAFFIC. IN MY OPINION, FUEL PUMPS SHOULD NOT FAIL BY 66,000 MILES. *TR
