TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 AUDI A3. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUDI NORTH PARK (210-960-6000, LOCATED AT 15670 I-35, SELMA, TX 78154) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 42,000.

"UNDER INFLATED LEFT FRONT TIRE" MESSAGE CAME ON. TOOK IT TO AUDI SERVICE CENTER IN GAINESVILLE, FL. AFTER CHECKING THE TIRES, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED BUT KEPT STALLING. THEY ORDERED A N290 VALVE AND REPLACED IT, STILL HAVE SAME PROBLEM AND NO WARNING MESSAGES. THEY CONTACTED AUDI HEADQUARTERS YESTERDAY, BUT HAVE NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM.

HIGH PITCH NOISE YOU CAN HEAR FROM THE FUEL PUMP. CAR STALLED ON ME. MY VIN IS NOT APART OF THE CURRENT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V229000. WOULD LIKE TO GET MY FUEL PUMP REPLACED BEFORE IT STALLS OR WON'T START AGAIN ON ME.

CAR GAS 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP ON THE VEHICLE FAILED!!! AS WELL AS I CANNOT PUT GAS IN MY CAR. AUDI HAS NOTE OF BOTH PROBLEMS AFFECTING NUMEROUS VEHICLES AND CHOOSES TO NOT DO ANYTHING CONCERNING IT. THIS IS ABSURD!!! THESE VEHICLES ARE UNSAFE ESPECIALLY SINCE THE ISSUE IS A FUEL ISSUE AND THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD LIKE THIS!! DO SOMETHING!!!

NHTSA RECALL 15V229000 DATED 04/17/15 DOES NOT SHOW UP IN AUDI SYSTEM, HOWEVER, VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC. HAS LISTED IT FOR MY AUDI A3. I AM EXPERIENCING THIS DEFECT AS OF JANUARY 9, 2018 WITH VIN #[XXX]. I NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. ON OCCASION, THE CAR WILL NOT START, OR STARTS FOR A MINUTE AND SHUTS OFF WITH AN INABILITY TO RESTART. AFTER SITTING FOR AN HOUR OR SO IT WILL START. I BELIEVE THERE MAY BE A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL PUMP AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 15V229000. HOW DO I GET AUDI TO ACCEPT THE RECALL? I HAVE ALREADY BEEN STRANDED ONCE AND NEEDED A TOW TO AUDI DEALER WHO STATED FUEL PUMP WAS THE ISSUE, BUT VEHICLE HAS NO RECALLS. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE IN ERROR AND WOULD LIKE IT RESOLVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 AUDI A3. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (AUDI NORTH MIAMI, 1995 NE 142ND ST, NORTH MIAMI, FL 33181) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-411-9988 AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL, AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL MANAGER. A CASE NUMBER WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,123.

CHECK ENGINE/ EPC- BOTH LIGHTS HAVE SIGNALED A DOZEN TIMES. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THE DEALERSHIP CALLED THEM "MISFIRES". EVENTUALLY THE CAR "SYMPTOMS" STARTED TO PROGRESS: WHEN CAR IS IDLING, CAR STARTS TO ACT LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL. THEN IT PROGRESSED TO HARD/JERKY SHIFTS INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. NOW EVEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS IT STARTS ACTING UP- GIVING THE FEELING THAT THE CAR MAY STALL. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE. TWICE NOW CAR HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE ENTERING HIGHWAY. THE WORST SITUATION OCCURRED WHEN CAR WAS BUCKING AND REFUSING TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR. I HAD TO PULL OVER, ON THE ON-RAMP, TURN OFF CAR AND RESTART. DASH LIGHTS FADE LIGHT/DARK CONSTANTLY. ORIGINALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC FEATURE, GOING FROM DAY TO NIGHT TIME LIGHTS. LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE IT HAS INCREASED W/ FREQUENCY & CANNOT BE CONNECTED TO CHANGE DAY/NIGHT LIGHT SETTING CHANGE. KEY...

MY AUDI CAR HASNT BEEN RUNNING WELL. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND NO SENSE OF URGENCY REGARDING THIS MATTER, WAS TOLD THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN THEY HAVE IT BUT "I SHOULD BE FINE". I LEFT MY CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE 11.11.16 BUT DOESNT FIX THE RECALL "SAFTEY RECALL 20Y5 SUCTION PUMP" . THIS RECALL NOT GETTING FIXED IS PUTTING MY SAFETY AT RISK.
