Consumer Description

OUR Q7 IS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I SMELL GAS WHEN I PARK THE CAR EVEN AFTER A SHORT DRIVE OF ABOUT 3 MILES. THE IDI SERVICE HAD SAID THAT THIS WAS RELATED TO VACUUM PUMP AND FIXED IT LAST WEEK. I STILL SMELL GAS AND I AM CONCERNED WITH SAFETY. I SAW PREVIOUS MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED DUE TO POTENTIAL FIRE DUE TO GAS LEAK AND I AM WORRIED THAT THIS MIGHT BE THE CASE WITH 2018 MODELS AS WELL.
