Other Fuel System Pump problems of the 2011 Audi Q5

My car started to smell like gas and when I took it to the dealer the said it was the flange/ fuel pump and that the recall was already done but the same issue persist. The yet me drive home with gas pouring out of my car after seeing it and want to charge me 1800 for a recalled part. I was terribly scared and cannot drive an unsafe car.

Well first it was the takata airbag recall, but the one I'm complaining about is the recall for the fuel pump and also the fuel pump wiring which was also removed from our vehicle, and we're like two about how it was part of the recall for the fuel pump . Anyway I've already put a complaint about this and how it has malfunctioned other important components of our vehicle including the fuel pump flange which was also replaced coils spark plugs sensors etc. What I'm complaining about now is I've contacted Audi USA and they have string us along for almost a year going back-and-forth to different Audi dealerships and getting different responses or different diagnosis of what is wrong with the car. Recently we had our Audi Q5 2011 fully diagnosed and now we come to a whole new dilemma and malfunction of our vehicle. We knew the fuel injectors were going bad because of the wiring which was not properly installed for the fuel pump which caused the alternator also to go bad and the sensors and not to forget about the spark plugs and coils. We thought we finally were going to get our car fixed at no charge to us even though we I knew that our warrantee was outdated, but we thought maybe since the recall had a lot to do with it Audi would take care of it. Well almost a year and guess what Audi declined the work of replacing the fuel injectors. When I asked them why they continue to give me the same response which I already know, that my vehicle is out of warranty, tell me something I don't know, we were only asking for the right thing to be done and what seems fair. Last time I ever buy an Audi.

2011 Audi Q5 wouldn't hold idle, wouldn't accelerate on city street, stalled at a turn check engine light came on and it wouldn't start back up not even turn over. It had to be towed to the mechanic. Fuel pump electronics faulty, they replaced the fuel pump module. Audi has 96k miles.

Takata recall. . Nothing. . . Has happened, and I have been notified of this issue by Audi. . But wanted to record that nothing has need done. There is also a fuel pump flange recall that has not been addressed. No issues at this time.

Takata recall and fuel pump flange remedy not available in timely manner.

The indoor odor of the car smelled strong of gas. The area around or under the car was completely dry. The smell was prevalent while moving or parked. The gas tank was dry at the nozzle. I drive my family in the car, including my grandchildren. I was concerned for our safety so had my local mechanic evaluate. They discovered a pin hole leak in the fuel pump under the rear seat and gas was all over the gas tank. Any spark would have set the car in flames and possible explosion given the location of the leak. This repair cost $1131. This obvious flaw should be identified by Audi and a recall should be in place to replace this defective part.

My Q5 had over the last 4 weeks a funky gasoline smell on the interior /exterior of the vehicle while parked or driven. My concern raised when I have seen my fuel consumption going up, so I had it checked by my local mechanic. He found that the cover of the pump assembly was cracking the top part of the fuel pump canister and gasoline is sitting in the assembly. So the smell interior and exterior is coming forth cracked fuel assembly. I had no accident or impact to the car that could cost this problem and reached out to Audi USA to hopefully adress this issue . In the meanwhile I'm not driving the car since it is a fire hazard and could blow up in front of me. See picture attached.

I purchased vehicle July 2015 after 1 month I would smell gas fumes over time it became aggressively strong I took vehicle in for servicing where I was told they didnt find anything. . . 1month later took it back demanded they fix it I had to contact corporate found out they had to replace fuel pump & gasket in tank. . . In addition, oil consumption is an issue which is still a big problem. From 10/14/15 to 7/4/2016 the oil indicator asking for 1 quart. This serms to be happening 1x month. The service tech. Inforned me there was a recall regarding this & my vehicle may not have been serviced for this. Im not a person who drives long distance or highway I travel to work and occassional errands nonetheless this is a nuisance not to mention the financial obligation. Why am I paying so much for a luxury vehicle that I dont enjoy.

My car (2011 Audi Q5) engine abruptly shut down at low speed twice on the same day, once at a stop sign and second time while backing out of the garage. About 2 weeks ago, the car stopped while trying to pull out of a parking lot at speed of about 10 mph or less. Fuel tank was more than half full and battery is good too. Car is less than 3 years old with service date starting may 2011. Vagcom analysis when connecting the car obdi port to my laptop indicates fault codes 4732, 4735 among several others relating to misfiring cylinders and faults in the fuel pump circuit/electronics. A cursory search on the internet indicates several such incidents with many other car owners where the car had to be towed to the dealership service department to get it fixed. This is a dangerous situation in which car can come to stop in the middle of the road and I hope Audi takes leadership in proactively solving this problem before a serious accident/injury happens to someone.
