| FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | |||
| 06/29/2009 | 70000 | ||
| Excessive gas fumes from car. dealer and other service center looked for problem several times. after car was unfit to drive - smelled so bad from gasoline fumes - a service garage removed the fuel tank. the fuel was seeping through molded in plastic connection fittings on top of the tank at their molded interface to the tank - the tank is a poly type tank. the tank was replaced. this is clearly a design defect. had the fumes been near an ignition source a possible fire or worse could have resulted. it is my opinion that the disimilar materials used for the tank and fittings lost their seal over time. audi of america has shown no interest in dealing with this. since there were 4 fuel tanks available on a friday and on the following monday, there were none, so i had to wait up to 2 additional weeks to get a tank - i suspect they are keenly aware of this defect. this car has been garage kept, i am original owner, and it has no accidents. i have the original failed fuel tank at this time. date of repair 6/29/09 to 7/21/09 | |||

| A4's have a poorly designed cam tensioner that eventually leaks oil. the cost to repair the item is approximately $1000. the dealer (carousel audi) even admits to the fact that it is a poor design and there have been numerous complaints about it at the dealer. i've also read numerous complaints about it on audi forums. the leak typically found shortly after the warranty period has expired. i feel strongly that this should be a recall on all respective cars to have it repaired! *nm | |||

| The vehicle has been to the dealer four times to fix the gas gauge. gauge will read 1/2 full, and the tank is empty, which will cause the vehicle to cut off. *ak | |||
