| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
I smelled a super strong gas smell from my car leaking somewhere in the engine hidden by other parts, it smells so bad it’s hard to be in the car it’s a fire hazard. Due to the fuel the car hardly starts due to the fuel not getting to the engine.
After ~106,000 miles, an error code �transmission malfunction. You can keep driving�, with error code p179d00 (per dealer). Car has hestitation at low rpm or while stopped (as at a light or heavy traffic) and occasionally jerks forward, despite brakes being firmly applied.
My vehicle as well as many Audis with the mechatronic system are having an issue that present a error, " mechatronic failure tpms gearbox malfunction). It often either not drivable, even when in traffic or drives at a snail's pace when attempting to exit traffic. Audi corporate said a recall is only done when the NHTSA feel that's it a issue that can calls safety &/or death. This seem to effect, from my research, 2010 - 2014 Audi s4, S5 and a5 model [n the USA and there are some europe complaints, which I have found as well] manufactored at a particular plant or provider. This type of malfunction can certainly cause 'loss of life' as it occurs in traffic. I happen to live in metro atlanta GA, with our fast pace traffic, its a serious issue. There absolutely should be a recall. The cost to repair can be up to $15k. There is no way this should happed to a $60-$75 high-end vehicle. Have video's of the dashboard with the error and can upload to you. I was offered 15% on the repair, which is really an insult. Please look into this issue and its not hard to find others with this issue. I pray for some relief in the form of a recall. It has been happening sine 2010, from what I have learned.
