Large fuel leak from fuel pump flange. Vehicle has had the recall 20w9 performed in 2018 as can be seen by the black butyl sticker on the assembly. However, this failed to prevent the flange from cracking and subsequently creating a large fuel leak. This is the very failure the recall was intended to prevent. Part is available for inspection if necessary as well as work order from original recall.
Issue is similar to NHTSA campaign id 16v660000, the fuel cap flange has butyl tape on it and has started leaking fuel. The garage has a strong fuel odor and is a fire hazard. The part is about 250 dollars, diagnosis was 150 and installation is about 1. 5 hour which is a grand total of 750 dollars. Why is my VIN not in the recall, if its a deflective part, recognized by Audi.

Car decelerates rapidly while driving even through you have pressure on the accelerator. Then few jerks happen and car returns back to normal acceleration. This whole process repeats intermittently. This first happened on a busy freeway. Then this has been repeating frequently. Audi is unable to figure out the problem and are suggesting replacing the whole fuel system which may potentially fix the problem. They are not sure. I am not sure if this is a manufacturing issue which can start happening to other vehicles. But this is definitely a dangerous safety issue.
I have an Audi Q7 2010. June 2013, my husband, 4 yr old son and I were driving on the freeway going with the flow of traffic. The car started shaking violently and decelerated to 20 miles per hour. My husband pushed the gas petal over and over and the car would not speed up. Luckily no one was hurt, however we were very scared. We were able to pull to the emergency lane and make it to the Audi dealership close by. January 2014, I was heading to pick up my son from school and the car started shaking violently again- this time worse then before and came to a complete stop in the middle of traffic. The steering wheel locked up and I was stuck. The police were called because I was not in a safe place and the car had to be towed to the dealership. Dealer stated that they found fault in the fuel system, metal shavings in the fuel filter in additional to low fuel pressure. Also confirmed metal shavings in the n290 valve. They had to get authorization from germany to replace entire fuel system. July 2014- yes it happened again. This time my husband and son were headed to go on a father-son camping trip and right before they lost all cell service the car started violently shaking again and decelerated. My husband left the car in a safe place and had friend come get them. The car is a lemon. I have asked that Audi America to replace the car and they sent a technician to the dealership who replaced the fuel filter again and has decided the car is repaired and safe to drive. This is after the manager of the service department told Audi America that the car is not safe and recommended they replace the car. He said " I wouldn't let my wife drive your car". This happened to a friend of mine with an Audi Q7 and Audi had to be forced to an arbitration. She ended up with a new diesel and it happened again! she is now on her 3rd Audi. This time no diesal.
