The contact owns a 2002 Audi A4. While driving 20 mph downhill, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. The contact depressed the brake pedal and the vehicle stopped.

A report was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that his vehicle was in production two months prior to NHTSA campaign id number 08v157000 (fuel system, gasoline: storage: tank assembly) being issued; therefore, his VIN was not included in the recall. The vehicle will be towed to the dealer for repair. The current and failure mileages were 80,000.
Gas gauge failed. Engine died on freeway due to fuel tank being empty; at the time, gauge showed tank was 1/2 full. Dealer replaced instrument cluster, but problem remains.
