I noticed that my fuel gauge was incorrect. I took car to the dealer and was told there was a bad fuel sender unit. The repair was estimated to cost $1000. I took the car to an independent mechanic who confirmed the problem but told me there had been a recall on the car for this problem. He gave me a printout of the recall notice, which had been issued in 2001. I spoke with Audi of America and was told that I would have to confirm with the dealer that this recall work had been done on my car. In the database, the dealer found that my car had been checked for this problem in sept 2001 (before I purchased it) and it had been determined that no action was necessary. I spoke again with Audi of America and after their representative had "researched" the issue, I was told that the correct fuel sending unit must have been in my car or they would have replaced it. So I am left with a nonfunctioning fuel gauge and no help from Audi on fixing this safety problem.

The fuel gauge was defective, it read half a tank when it was really empty. Consumer ran out of gas on a busy highway. Vehicle was serviced by the dealer. Under the certification program the defect should have been found.

Vehicle ran out of gas - gauge showed 3/4 tank. Vehicle has had the gas gauge recall performed on it.

The number of attempts to fix this issue will be six times. Audi has replaced the fuel sending units after the recall. The problem still exists. Audi has not fix the issue yet. I will be pursuing full remedy mandated by the lemon laws. Audi should be held accountable in not fixing the problem and also stating they did have fuel sending that would of resove the problem while in fact they did not.

Fuel sender failed. Yh.

The fuel sending unit sensor became corroded causing the fuel gauge to read 1/4 of a tank when it was really empty resulting in the driver running out of gas. Nlm.
