Consumer received one of several recall notifications from the manufacturer, and took the vehicle to the dealer, who wanted for consumer to leave a credit card and then they will repair all defects, even those not related to the recall, and charge consumer additional expenses not in conjunction with the recall. Recall campaign NHTSA campaign id number : 01V157000 consequence: Running out of fuel without warning while the fuel gauge indicates that there is sufficient fuel in the tank lead to safety problems. Vehicle ABS light was on.
Fuel sending unit was replaced via recall in Dec 2000 and the exact same thing is happening again. Audi's recall did not fix the problem. The fuel gauge can read anywhere between full and empty regardless of the fuel quantity in the tank.
The number of attempts to fix this issue will be six times. Audi has replaced the fuel sending units after the recall. The problem still exists. Audi has not fix the issue yet. I will be pursuing full remedy mandated by the lemon laws. Audi should be held accountable in not fixing the problem and also stating they did have fuel sending that would of resove the problem while in fact they did not.
The fuel sending unit sensor became corroded causing the fuel gauge to read 1/4 of a tank when it was really empty resulting in the driver running out of gas. Nlm
