Filled gas tank and noticed fuel leaking from top of the tank to the ground near the inside of the passenger side real wheel. Fuel stops leaking after it drops below 3/4 full. Took the car to the audi dealership thinking it was failure of the rollover/filler neck valve recall again (nhtsa recall #08v157000). Audi said the filler neck was dry, but there is a leak somewhere on top of fuel tank on the same side as the filler neck. They said they could not see where the leak was coming from without dropping the fuel...

Tl* the contact owned a 2002 audi a6. While driving approximately 55 mph, there was an odor of smoke. The contact observed smoke coming through the vents on the front driver's side. In addition, the vehicle caught fire under the hood. There were no injuries sustained. A fire report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a towing facility. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. The vin was not available. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was not available.

I was driving at about 65 mph. I went to pass another car in a passing zone so I accelerated full throttle. The gas pedal stuck and the car continued to accelerate. I braked and maneuvered the car to the side of the road and turned it off. After a while it released. I started the car again and continued home, not pushing the pedal down any farther than necessary. I will take it in to be fixed. There was nothing obscuring the pedal and the floor mat was clicked into place. I found no evidence of a recall, but many audi owners have reported similar experiences, so I am not sure why this isn't a recall issue. *Tr

Fuel vapors and leaking fuel appears when the fuel tank is filled beyond 3/4 tank. This is unsafe for the car to be parked inside of the garage. The fumes make passengers feel ill. Audi service departments want to charge over $2500 to repair. A recall for the rollover valve has been performed; however the audi service techs say the leakage is coming from small cracks in the defective tank. Unable to have the repair done because of costs I have driven the car with less than1/2 tank of fuel for several years . The...

Transmission failure while driving on freeway. Fourth time in 3 years. Each time the transmission was replaced. Audi refuses to acknowledge the failure of the cvt transmission on that model. It is a danger to public safety. *Tr

I recently bought my audi and throughout the summer it drove just fine, but once winter came around and the temperatures dropped, I noticed the smell of gas in my car as soon as it was started. I opened the hood and there was gas spraying from what looked like all six fuel injectors. So I took the car to a mechanic, where they replaced numerous things (fuel pressure regulator, o rings, valve system, and all 6 fuel injectors) all to no avail. Nobody can tell me what is wrong, nobody knows. I called audi and they...

The audi was stopped at a stop light when the rpm meter started to drop revs suddenly. Once the car was in motion the engine felt rough. The car was driven 3 miles with no further incidence and was parked for the night. The next day when the car was started in the morning the check engine light came on and the engine started to get very sluggish and shuddering. The car was immediately stopped and the diagnostic codes were pulled. The codes showed multiple cylinder misfires with specific misfires in cylinder 2 and three. The car was towed to an audi dealer where this was confirmed. The dealership mentioned that there was a voluntary recall for exactly this issue. This is a safety issue. *Tr

Typical audi fuel leak problem. They say it is a roll over valve. They fixed it. It still leaks and now it is my problem at $2800. *Tr

This car has been great to me. Aside from a fuel pump going, just recently I was driving on the freeway and the car died. The epc light on the dash popped up and luckily I was able to coast to the side of the road. I attempted to start the car several times before calling aaa (15-20 min) while on the phone with aaa I attempted to start the car again and it fired right up. Thinking it was just a one time issue I got back on the freeway where 10 mile or so later same the same thing happened. Another 20 min of...

I have 3 major concerns regarding my 2002 audi a6 3.0 Quattro. I will start with the most dangerous problem first...1) The anti-lock brakes that kick in unexpectedly. The abs/esp problem started in may, 2007, with the abs/esp light coming on intermittently, resulting in us replacing the brake light switch. The problem didn't happen again until the anti-lock brakes kicked in, in aug., 2009. With no definite, inexpensive fix from the dealer, we decided to see if the problem persisted. It did, bringing the car back in...
