Good morning, as of two days ago I began smelling gas when I exited my vehicle. I paid it no mind at the time since I was parked amongst other vehicles in the parking lot and this has never happened before or at least since I owned the vehicle. I placed a card board box under the vehicle just to sense if it was my vehicle and have a sense of security that I had nothing to worry about. The next day I did notice that the box contained stains of fluid and smelled like gas. As this is my only vehicle I had to drive to work and noticed that the smell got worst. As I arrived at work I immediately did some research and found out that there was a recall on the matter, but I did not receive any information pertaining to recall etc. On my way back home I drove below the speed limit and in the slow lane just as a pre-caution. During that time the engine light came on putting my stress level even higher. As of today I have reached out to the dealership and expressed my concerns about the safety of my family with the fluid being gas and may cause a fire. The response I received was that there was a recall, but it has since been closed. I have been taking the vehicle to be serviced at the Audi dealership and you would think that they would inform me of that information. I am awaiting a call from the corporate office to address my concerns at the moment and I don't think that it is going to be a good one. I contacted them before about the steering column issue where the system locks you out and would not allow access to get the vehicle started. I was told that it was my responsibility because of the age and mileage on the vehicle. Please note, I have not modified or changed anything on the vehicle. These are all manufacturing defects that they know exist.

I have an Audi 2008 Q7, that has a gas leak of some kind. Local mechanic says that it could be fuel pump leak. I looked for recalls to this problem and found two for 2008 Q7 gas leaks. When I contacted the local Audi dealership and gave them my VIN, they said no recalls on that VIN. When I called Audi corporate, they said the same thing when I gave them my VIN. I clearly see the recalls on line and it states all Q7 gas engines. This is a fire hazard and Audi is refusing to fix my car, because my VIN number isnt listed. Its obvious that its associated with this recall and im getting no help at all from Audi. They must take care of this recall.

Code p00455 check engine light. When I fuel gas tank, fuel pours out from driver's side. Fuel fill is on passenger's side of car.

I purchased this vehicle used on 7/14/21 from Audi of des moines. Not even 3 days after purchasing, the rear view mirror fell down, the back of the front driver and passenger seats came off, the car had been hail damaged at the dealership but they didn't inspect the entire car so I have to replace the windshield and front license plate plastic grill attachment. However, my biggest concern is the smell of gasoline after I drive the vehicle, every time. There is a strong odor of gasoline near both rear doors/wheels that can be smelled after stepping out of the vehicle and the engine has been lagging. I have filled the gas tank 3 times and each time used premium gasoline. I can't get any information as to whether or not my specific vehicle has had the 2 fuel recalls checked and/or serviced. I am beyond frustrated and feel like I was sold a lemon. Of course the dealership will not help me because they sold it as is no return policy. Mind you that stated that all they did to it was wash it and clean the inside prior to selling it to me and did not do any kind of thorough inspection.

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.

Fuel linking & the smell is inside the car.

Dear NHTSA team. My vehicle demonstrated a fuel smell in September 2020. I alerted Audi that I believed it was covered under either 20w9 or 20bj. They said it was not. I took it to a private repair shop that charged me $71 to diagnose the problem. The repair shop (team previously worked for Audi) shared that the problem was covered under a recall. I then took the car into the dealer and Audi fixed it under the recall. I sought reimbursement of my diagnosis fee of $71 for over three months. Audi failed to respond on multiple occasions when I first raised the issue, and later when I sought reimbursement. Finally, on 12/16/20 I was advised that Audi would not reimburse the diagnosis fee notwithstanding the repair was covered under the recall. They also allowed the unsafe situation to continue for weeks by refusing to repair under the recall. I bring this to your attention as a safety issue from a protocol standpoint, and ask for your help in securing my $71 reimbursement, which I feel falls under either of the recall campaigns for this vehicle and this recall issue.

Recall 20w9 was completed about may 2018. No leaking or cracks were found. Butyl tape was placed over flange to "prevent" future leaks. August 2020, fuel flange is now leaking. Strong gasoline smell from outside of vehicle. Dealership service department confirms it is leaking. Refuse to cover cost of replacement. The original "recalled" part is still in vehicle. Why will it not be covered now because the part lasted a few years longer that others. It still has failed and their band aid has failed.

The glow plug light came on and off and the vehicle completely lose acceleration (no power) on the freeway during normal driving. This is the second time that this happens to me. The first time that it happened in June of 2020, the recall was done on by Audi dealer assuming that the problem would go away, but it came back.

There is a gas odor that is overwhelming when the truck starts. The gas mix with oil fumes will cause headaches because the odor comes into the vents of the truck and does not stop until after the truck is turned off. When the vehicle is turned off there is a hissing sound in the engine that does not stop until after 15min the engine stays off. There is no overheating but the engine is hotter then most trucks when running.

My family and I were driving about 55mph and the glow plug warning light started flashing and the vehicle stalled after a mile or so. The dealer said that the fuel was contaminated and that the whole fuel system had to be replaced and was going to cost more than $11000. The service guy said the dealer was paying for it because they are good guys, boloni. We could have had an accident and died because it was at night on a 2 way road and barely no room on the side of the road. I say from everywhere I've read it is a faulty hpfp. Car only has 65000 miles too.

Crankshaft pulley ripped itself apart at idle after vehicle was started.

I smell gas fumes after driving my car and then parking it in the garage. The part was supposedly fix before through the recall but if I was fixed correctly or in fact fixed at all, then why is it happening now. I took the car in because I received the recall notice, not because I was experiencing any issues, but now that I am they won't fix it. It obviously wasn't fixed properly.

Our Q7 is less than a year old. I smell gas when I park the car even after a short drive of about 3 miles. The idi service had said that this was related to vacuum pump and fixed it last week. I still smell gas and I am concerned with safety. I saw previous models have been recalled due to potential fire due to gas leak and I am worried that this might be the case with 2018 models as well.

Gas pipe above the engine popped when trying to start the car and all the gas leaked out. Might have caught on fire if the engine was hot.

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.

Large fuel leak in the engine compartment: while starting the vehicle in a parking lot, the engine was difficult to start but then started. The driver began to depart by backing out of the parking space, then a strong gasoline smell was present, as the two front windows were rolled down. The front passenger noticed liquid flowing out from under the front of the vehicle on the passenger side while the car moved forward by about 2-3 parking spaces. The driver immediately stopped, shut down the engine and investigated. The strong smelling liquid appears to be gasoline leaking from under the engine compartment. The vehicle was parked on the spot as the two occupants evacuated the vehicle. While outside, the sound of gasoline splashing down could be heard. A tow truck was called, and the vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership. Dealership personnel helped pushed the vehicle in neutral gear (without starting) into the service area pending inspection. Dealership report showed fuel injector #1 leaking. Service advisor confirmed it was injector leak, not seals. This is a very serious fire risk.
