2004 AUDI A4 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

WHEN ENGINE IS UNDER LOAD WITH A FAULTY FUEL PUMP, THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILST MOVING WITHOUT TURNING MOTOR OFF. ONLY REMEDY IS TO TURN ENGINE OFF AND ON, SINCE THE FUEL PUMP WILL NOT START ITSELF BACK ON AFTER THE STALL.

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY FOR A FEW HOURS DURING WHICH CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, AND CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER JUST AFTER I GOT OFF FREEWAY AND APPROACHED A MOUNTAIN ROAD INCLINE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT, OR PRIOR SYMPTOMS TO ENGINE FAILURE, IT JUST STOPPED. WITH HELP, I WAS ABLE TO GET CAR OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND TO SAFETY. TRIED TO TROUBLESHOOT, USED ENGINE ERROR CODE READER, AND NO FAULT CODES FOUND. PERFORMED BASICS CHECKED FOR POTENTIAL FUEL VAPOR LOCK DUE TO ALTITUDE; CHECKED OIL, COOLANT AND FUEL LEVELS- AND ALL LEVELS WERE OK. BATTERY WAS FUNCTIONING - AS RADIO, LIGHTS WORKED. CAR HAS BEEN CONSISTENTLY SERVICED AND MAINTENANCE WAS CURRENT. CAR WAS TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER, DIAGNOSIS BY DEALER FUEL PUMP FAILURE DUE TO CLOGGED FUEL FILTER. MY ISSUE IS THAT AUDI DOES NOT INDICATE SERVICE MAINTENANCE FOR FUEL FILTER. THERE IS NOT ANY MAINTENANCE...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 AUDI A4 (1.8, CONVERTIBLE) ON A LOCAL ROAD AT APPROX 30MPH, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM UNDER MY FOOT AND THE CAR ACCELERATED VERY RAPIDLY. IT FELT LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD COME ON BY ITSELF (THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS COMPLETELY OFF AT THE TIME). I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PULLED OVER. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF, THE GAS PEDAL POPPED UP AND FELT NORMAL. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES, IT CONTINUED TO IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE ALL THE WAY WITH THE GAS PEDAL DROPPING TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS NOW BEING TOWED TO A MECHANIC. HAD I BEEN IN A TIGHTER SITUATION AT THE TIME, IT COULD'VE BEEN UGLY. *TR

I'M 26, MOTHER OF A 9 YR & 14 MO OLD. CURRENTLY, I'M UNEMPLOYED AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY $2,500 TO REPAIR THE FUEL PUMP THAT AUDI INITIALLY INSTALLED IN MY CAR. I WAS SO EXCITED TO BUY THIS AUDI USED 4 YRS AGO WITH 80,000 MILES. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST COSTLY AND THE MOST UNSAFE VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED...STALLING OUT WAS NOT FUN AND VERY SCARY. AUDI DEALERSHIPS HAVE BEEN TRAINED WELL TO DENY OWNING UP TO THE CAR'S DEFECTS. IS AUDI WAITING FOR AN ACCIDENT TO HAPPEN AND PEOPLE/CHILDREN DIE? I GUESS THE COST OF PAYING FOR THE COURT COST WHEN SOMEONE DIES IS NOT A BIG WORRY FOR THE COMPANY - PROBABLY COST MORE TO HAVE THE CARS RECALLED & SAFELY REPAIRED THAN TO PAY FOR COURT & FUNERAL COST. I'M SURE AUDI HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2003 AND REFUSE TO OWN...

FUEL PUMP NOISY AND NOT WORKING. CANT BEAR THE NOISE AS ITS TOO LOUD INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. REPLACED FUEL FILTER STILL NOT USE. BROWSED THROUGH INTERNET AND SAW ITS HAPPENING TO ALL 2004 A4 MODELS AND NO RECALLS FROM THE MANUFACTURER AS ITS COMMON IN ALL A4 2004 MODELS. REQUEST TO FILE AN COMPLAINT ON THIS ISSUE AND REQUEST MANUFACTURER TO RECALL FUEL PUMP IN ALL A4 2004 MODELS. *TR
