Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2010 Audi Q5

In tank fuel pump cracked on top ,leaking fuel to flange and electrical conection on top of tank and down to under vehicle . No recall on Audi site for this year -2010 vehicle has 138000 miles only . I was not expecting material problem -plastic not suitable for fuel . . .

I have a 2010 Audi Q5 that is leaking gas on the ground while engine is running while sitting still or driving down the road. . I removed the passenger rear seat which is directly on top of where the leak is coming from. I then removed the access panel for the fuel pump . Gas was sitting on top of the fuel pump in puddles. I decided to start the car with the access panel removed to see where exactly the leak was coming from and how big of leak it was. Upon starting the engine gas sprayed directly out of the top of the fuel pump's white plastic dome top, not the fuel pump flange. Perimeter. It is a large leak, it sprays like a geyser unhindered hitting the top of the access panel and running onto the ground. You can see visible cracks in the top of the fuel pump. My gas mileage which was 21 mpg per tank is now14 mpg on last fill up so my guess is about 7 gallons of gas leaks onto the ground per fill up. I am afraid to drive the vehicle in this condition and the fumes are overwhelming in the cabin of the vehicle and if you roll down the window the smell gets worse. . . In the pics uploaded you can see the spray and visible cracks.

Tl the contact owns a 2010 Audi Q5. The contact noticed a fuel odor inside the vehicle after it was serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 16v660000 (fuel system, gasoline) at inskip's warwick automall (1515 bald hill rd, warwick, ri 02886). The vehicle was towed to Audi natick (549 worcester st, natick, MA 01760) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact researched the failure online and found the recall. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the vehicle had already been repaired per the recall. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

My vehicle was recalled for a fuel pump issue which was repaired with tape in 2018. The fuel pump is now leaking fuel causing a fuel smell in the vehicle as well as in my garage and house while the car is parked in the garage. When I took my vehicle to be inspected and repaired I was told the original repair was not substantial enough to fix the original defect. Audi reports no new recalls on the vehicle and that there was a recall on a small selection of vehicles in the original recall. This is a hazard and could cause a fire. All vehicles in the original recall should be recalled again and repaired properly, with more than tape.

I hear (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Audi Q5, and 2007-2012 Audi q7 vehicles equipped with gasoline engines. The fuel pump flange on the affected vehicles may crack, allowing fuel to leak. My Q5 have the same problem I don't know why I didn't get the recall.

Takata recall with no fix, also a problem with the fuel pump which the car can light on fire there is also no current repair. The dealer said we are screwed there's nothing they can do. My wife got into an accident with the loaner car if it was our car that is plagued by the recall things could have been worst.

Horrified mother of 2 small children. Recently noticed when driving the vehicle, a gas/fuel smell consumes the entire car. The smell was so bad it made me sick as well as set off the carbon dioxide alarm in my garage. My toddler son sits on the side where the tank is and of course that is where the smell is the strongest. I feared that a explosion would happen in my house due to smell being so strong. . . We finally took the SUV in and repair company stated that I had a fuel leak. He stated that the pump had a crack in it and was spraying fuel all under the car. Repair has cost me $900 to replace the fuel pump, adaptor, and rings.

My wife called me while I was away on business and said that there was a smell of fuel in the house. I asked her to make sure to check the oven and she said it was not that type of gas and that it smelled like auto fuel. I came home and we had appointments to check out new homes and we noticed that the inside of the car smelled like fuel and I had to drive with the windows down and no a/c because we have two small children as well and the odor was stronger when we had the a/c on. We park our 2010 Audi Q5 in our garage and when we got home from our appointments I could smell a very strong smell of fuel coming from the rear passenger wheel well. We have not overfilled the car and there must be some kind of leak. This is my wife's car and she has been complaining of bad headaches and nausea over the past couple of weeks and my children ride in this car as well so this to me is a health concern that if the fuel pump or some other function of the fuel system fails that harmful gasoline fumes could enter the cabin or even into our home and cause damaging effects to my families health. I will be taking it into the dealership in reno nevada and will update you on what the outcome is.

I am very concerned about my safety at this point , the recall is the sdi driver frontal air bag and fuel pump flange, for the airbag it has been over 8 month and the parts are still not avaialble??????????????? what?.
