general problems of the 2000 Audi A6

Gas is pouring out from the top of the gas tank.

The first time this car had any problems with anything leaking was a couple days ago when we woke up in middle of the night to house and garage smelling like gas. On driver's side rear by passenger door there was a small leak looked like oil but smelled of gas and underneath car you can see wear a small crack is at in fuel system. I see many recalls for same thing for different years and complaints filed for this same problem and year. No recall notices was ever received by myself or previous two owners who was friends or it would have been fixed. I am upset because now it won't be fixed under recall because it's been so long however there was no close date on reports it shows several thousand cars never got the repair and was not notified. This is a huge safety issue that not only can start car on fire but house on fire if parked in garage. Now I am suppose to pay for the cost on something that was not put together correctly and is a safety hazzard because I was not warned about it by mail or when car was serviced and never had trouble till now and there are tons of customers you are not helping with same problem year make and model of car. If this results in death than it will become a more serious problem on your hand for not fixing a recall that has been known to be problems on several years of Audi's and not all Audi owners was reach or repairs done and now when we are finding out we are being turned away. If this was not something hazardous or life threatening that's one thing but something so dangerous that can take a life you should make sure every recall that is safety related and hazardous fix regardless of when notice if found. I am expecting the recalls for all fuel related problems on all Audi be fixed when customers call to inquire and not be turned away after we are sent to dealer to have it looked at.

Hello! today I was at the sams club gas station to fill up my vehicle, 2000 Audi A6 with the 4. 2 engine. When I finished, I went over to the driver side, where ive seen a huge amount of gas on the ground. The fuel was leaking really bad from my car. The sam's club even called the fired department and the police there too. It leaked out a lot couple gallons from my vehicle. Thanks god the gas station had a small incline so I could notice it right before I would drive away. Just thinking that I would drive away and something serious would happen it scares me. As I understand a lot of Audis are recalled because of this issue. Mine is not under the recall. What can I do to get mine under the recall too? please help me. Thank you, steve.

Gas gauge malfunctioned, preventing owner from identifying what the correct fuel reading was. Consumer has contacted dealer. Recall number 00v137000, consumer has yet to be contacted.
