Description of the problem	I was refilling my fuel tank of my vehicle at gas station, but it kept clicking off with the back pressure as if the tank was full. I tried filling slowly to see if that would work, it did the same thing. . I left and on my way on the highway, a young man signaled me to pull over, i was hesitant, but did so. He showed me that fuel was draining from my car. Luckily , i did not have a fire as it was close to the muffler system. I got it to a nearby mechanic shop to see what was the problem it was not a burst hose nor a tank leak , however they first thought it was the siphon hose that was blocked , it was not. They traced the fuel leak to the evap system and found that the charcoal canister was filled with fuel. And the car still would not take any fuel because back pressure, kept forcing the fuel out. Upon seeing that they advised me to take the car to the audi dealer in coral spring florida. I did so and told them of the problem and asked if there was a recall on this problem. They said no. I pointed out to them that the 2016 audi a3 has a recall that is exactly as what is happening to my car. Recall # 16v647000 this was issued between september and october of 2016. They said that they would diagnose my car for $390. 00 i ok"d that. This is their diagnosis: 1 fuel tank = s2654. 00 plus tax/ss i am not in agreement with that and called to audi america and made my complaint, the young lady " morgan " took my complaint and made arrangements to call the dealership re their assessment and call me back. She called me with no real answers except to say that i have a right to a second opinion. I told her that i intended to do so and to make a complaint to your agency, and the ftc as this is a serious issue. She said it was my right.
