After purchasing the vehicle on 8/2/25, I discovered it had outstanding safety recalls that were neither addressed nor disclosed by the dealership at the time of sale. I have since taken steps to fix these safety issues, but the dealer’s failure to inform me or resolve the recalls before the sale put me at unnecessary risk. I urge the NHTSA to review the dealership’s records from 8/2/25 to hold them accountable for selling a vehicle with unresolved safety defects that compromised my safety. It is not allowing me to add case card with report, only case card available as of today.
Check engine light came on while vehicle was in motion on an interstate highway. It later went off while driving on city streets. Dealer advised that fuel hose needed replacement at cost of $1,198. Dealer stated there was a flaw in the original hose and that a replacement kit must be installed. Dealer advised that this is a dangerous situation and I should not drive my car home. Dealer stated that this is not covered under warranty and there is no recall. I called Audi. They told me the same thing and suggested I contact NHTSA. Audi issued a technical service bulletin in 2017 advising dealers of this problem and instructing them on how to install the redesigned replacement kit. Instructions cover several Audi models but do not specify model years. To recap, this seems to me to be the very definition of need for a recall: 1. Dealer admits there was a flaw in the original design. 2. Audi has redesigned the system and issued instructions for replacement. 3. Dealer states it is dangerous to drive the car without replacement kit. Please issue a recall for this dangerous situation.
