Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2004 Audi A4

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 recommendations or guidance in either the owner's manual or published list of recommended services to replace or check filer. There also were not any warning lights, fault codes or indications to watch for. I feel that it is negligent of the manufacturer to not indicate any service interval to change fuel filter in order to prevent fuel pump failure, and to ensure the safe operating conditions of the vehicle. The car lost power on a winding mountain road and put me at danger without warning. I am curious if this fuel pump incident could be associated with known fuel pump issues, NHTSA #pe08027. Key side notes, while I am the second registered owner, this car was purchased by my father who was the original owner, but for insurance and registration purposes the vehicle was transferred over to me, but I have all original records of the vehicle and can verify all maintenance services have been performed.

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 up to their 2003 mistake flowing over to the 2004 models. It makes no sense that Audi won't "step up to the plate" and have a recall. Maybe the Audi company really can't repair the car and the problem will always exist? I would hope they have Smart engineers that could fix the problem. Audi really is coming across as having poor customer concerns for our safety. What a shame, I can barely make ends meet and now, I can't even afford to take my car out of the shop. . . But, maybe it's a blessing - at least, my children and I are safe by not driving that car. Come on Audi - recall now before some dies!!! and, what is the vehicle safety folks doing for us??? I just an angry mother hoping someone will listen & with the belief that the NHTSA can help. . . I wish I had never bought this car, I'm still making monthly payments for the car that I'm scared to drive now. I'm wondering by venting on this site, if Audi even gets this information? this is a "no kidding" matter that should be taken seriously and fixed as soon as possible by the responsible company to show that they really care for their customers!.

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.

2004 Audi A4 with intermittent fuel pump failure. On several occasions the car would stop running while driving and then restart after some time. The latest event occurred at the airport and almost caused an accident. I had the car towed to a repair shop and it was determined that the fuel pump was not operating resulting in $800 in repairs. This is a dangerous situation and appears to be a larger problem with this vehicle. A recall of the 2002-2003 did not capture these other vehicles which have the same problem. Since this can result in injury and/or death, its critical that the government investigate for recall. Audi will not take responsibility unless held accountable.

2004 Audi A4 fuel pump failure causes car to stall. My car stalled on the freeway and almost caused a significant accident!.

I have a 2004 Audi A4 1. 8 turbo . . 5:45pm on a heavy traffic Friday before easter week. . My call stalled while I driving home with both kids. I was very lucky and fortunate that a truck driver got out of his truck and pushed my car to the curb. I had it towed to the nearest Audi dealership since it was close to 8pm by the time the tow truck arrived . Service rep calls me the following day (Saturday morning) and said it was the fuel pump injector that needed to be replaced. How can we complain to Audi manufacturer since I noticed tons of fuel pump issues for the 2004 A4 Audi.

2004 Audi A4 1. 8t fuel pump failed while pulling into a parking lot. Had to push it into the grass. No warning about any problem. I use only 91 - 93 grade gas and it has about 71,000 miles on it.

My 2004 Audi A4 stalled in the middle of an intersection while I was in the process of making a left turn into another street. I was stranded in the middle of this busy street for almost an hour until a tow truck could arrive from the Audi dealer. An officer from the charlotte, n. C. Police department arrived in about 20 minutes and directed vehicles to prevent an accident until the tow truck arrived. I was fortunate that the police and other motorists helped direct traffic around my vehicle to prevent an accident, as it was raining and foggy at the time of this issue. The vehicle was determined to have a fuel pump failure by Audi of charlotte, and they repaired the vehicle at a charge of $869. 18. I have since learned that there was a recall on 2003 Audi A4 models for fuel pump failures.
