Consumer Description

THIS, AND APPARENTLY MOST, AUDI A6 VEHICLES DO NOT HAVE FUNCTIONING GAS GUAGES. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. I HAVE RUN THIS VEHICLE OUT OF GAS 5 TIME SINCE THE PROBLEM BEGAN, THE LAST AT 65 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF CA 101 FREEWAY. THE SUDDEN VEHICLE SLOWDOWN ALMOST CAUSED A MULTI-CAR, HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT. AUDI HAS REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT AFTER 8 MONTHS, REPORT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX AVAILABLE. *AK
