NHTSA Complaint #10608307 — 2010 AUDI A3

ON MY WAY TO WORK MY CAR STALLED /LOST POWER ,GLOW PLUG LIGHT WENT ON THEN I COULDN'T RESTART MY CAR. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO MY DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR. THE NEXT DAY THEY CALLED ME THAT THEY HAVE TO ORDER ALOT OF PARTS AND REPLACE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM: FUEL PUMP, HPFP, FUEL LINE INJECTORS AND SEALS AND THEY HAVE TO CLEAN THE TANK! I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY ME WAS USING THAT CAR. I HAVE NEVER USED ANYTHING BUT HIGH QUALITY DIESEL FUEL FROM SHELL GAS STATION LOCATED ON DEMPSTER STREET IN SKOKIE,IL. I BUY ULSD ONCE A MONTH AND HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS FROM THIS YEAR ( AND IF NECESSARY FROM DAY ONE FROM MY BANK CREDIT CARD HISTORY) BECAUSE OF THIS I AM 100% SURE THAT ANY CLAIM THAT I USED WRONG FUEL IS WITHOUT BASE. IF THE ULTRALOW SULFUR DIESEL FUEL RECOMMENDED BY CAR MANUFACTURERS DOESN'T MUCH SPECIFICATION THIS SHOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE PUTTING DIESEL CAR ON THE MARKET.I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT ALL MAINTENANCE ON MY CAR WAS DONE ON TIME AT AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIPS.I CHANGE OIL EVERY 4K MILES INSTEAD 10K AS MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDING MY AUDIS' WARRANTY EXPIRES NEXT MONTH AND I HOPE THAT AUDI WILL EXTENDED MY WARRANTY FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS/50K MILES!!! IF NOT I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAR THAT I WAS PLANNING TO KEEP FOR LONG TIME. BAD HPFP CRAFTSMANSHIP AND DESIGN SHOULD BE CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IF AUDI/VW WANTS TO SELL DIESEL CARS IN US! *TR
