Driving an 2005 Audi A4 quattro on a busy interstate highway, the car began to sputter and experience acceleration surging and deceleration. I was able to exit the roadway and had vehicle towed to dealer, eee motors in springfield virginia. Eee motors identified a fuel system problem, had vehicle shipped to Audi of alexandria for further diagnosis and repair. Audi dealer reported fuel pump needed replacement as well as a low pressure fuel sensor. Appears to be same problem as that which resulted in the 2004 Audi A4 fuel pump safety recall. Please recall this model year before same safety problem occurs for 2005.
My 2005 Audi A4 avant shut down today on the freeway. Dealer said it was the fuel pump and that it failed early. However, they would not cover the repairs under warranty. I know there are recalls on the fuel pumps for the 2003 model but I believe the problem is actually more widespread. This is a very dangerous problem and to have the car shut down in the middle of the freeway is not normal. This fuel pump issue should be addressed immediately. I know there are many more owners out there that have experienced the same problems.
