Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of Audi Q5

My Audi Q5 2011 check engine and epc light continue to light up my dash, vehicle has been diagnosed by the dealership not once not twice but more than three times. Continues to have the same and similar misfires and actually seems to be getting hotter than usual, the engine. I've seen several complaints about recalls on the coolant pump,timing chain, fuel pump flange, fuel pump, wiring sensors, epc light ball joints, and the list goes on. What has me mostly concern is the recalls for all the fuel system components. For example emission control devices like the egr fuel cap fuel gauge sender, feel injection system fuel leaks stalling and hesitation , have you been seeing one or actually a couple where a fire was initiated while people were in the car . This is a huge safety concern for me and my family who drives the car practically every day it seems that even door car is out of warranty Audi should be responsible for all these repairs and recalls and and make it right on their part . If we would've known this car was going to give us that much trouble after buying it from a certified dealer, we would've never even thought or imagined of driving a lemon . After this unfortunate experience and still ongoing one, and the way Audi really doesn't take in consideration the safety of its clientele, or its families, I will never take in consideration of buying another Audi in my life .

I am emailing this letter and hopefully someone will respond to my request of reopening my claim regarding my 2011 Audi Q5's recent and pattern like problems. Hopefully the reference number above shows my cars history and explains how it's all gotten to me addressing the problem again. Around that time was when we were having problems with the Audi service dept in chandler az, the fact that we were lied to by the supervisor when he stated that changing the wiring was part of the recall for the fuel pump and fuel flange, when in fact it was not. Two of the three main components for our fuel injection system have been replaced, the most important the fuel pump and the regulator, three times we took it back because they never got it right the first time. That is not including all the others things that have been changed, electrical system wiring, and major parts of the engine. Recently we took our Audi to the service dept in scottsdale az , for the recall of the air canister and also because it was beginning to smell like gas again and the check engine light turned on and trouble with the startup of our vehicle. Had it checked��out by a certified mechanic, which told me it was the alternator. I had just bought a brand new gel battery at autozone, didnt want the bad alternator to drain my new battery so since I knew it had been replaced before by Audi in chandler, I told the service advisor that it was bad, and if he could please check and replace. Before that I also had it rechecked at autozone and oriellys and they told me the same thing, bad alternator. . . . Hopefully you see where I'm getting at. I'm trying to be as detail as possible, so sorry for the length of this letter. To no surprise of mine the service advisor calls me back and tells me that my fuel injectors are going bad, whattt.

Started to notice a fuel smell inside the cabin of the vehicle while driving. It became so bad that the car was undriveable. Upon inspection the top of the fuel filter, (which is part of the fuel pump assembly), in the gas tank was leaking profusely along a mold injection line on the top of the filter. The filter is made out of hard plastic. It was spraying gas on the access plate underneath the rear passenger seat. So much so that the bottom of the seat was soaked in gasoline and had pooled on top of the access plate. Atomized gas is very dangerous inside the cabin of the vehicle. The seal on the access plate was soaked in gas to where it no longer sealed and had expanded to twice its size; (very poor design). I purchased a new fuel filter and replaced which fixed the problem. I then complained to Audi USA and they acted very quickly by having the car brought into the dealership and inspected. Audi USA also covered all my expenses for this repair even though the car is out of warranty. The original fuel filter was supposedly sent back to germany so that Audi engineers could study the failed part. I bring all this up as I know I am not the only Audi owner to experience this problem. A quick google searched turned up multiple similar instances. I believe it was caused by the manufacturing process of these fuel filters and I theorize that the menthanol content in our fuel here in the us could contribute to this failure. It is not related to uv because of the location of the part. The way Audi handled this problem made me feel that it is a known issue with them and they wanted to make everything right as quick as possible. However, no recall was ever issued by Audi for this problem. It may be larger than anyone believes. Audi case number: 715005998.
