Description of the problem | Fuel pump failed without warning on june 14, 2008 when i was 300 miles from home, visiting my father for father's day. My audi only had approx 44,000 miles on it at the time. I have retained the faulty fuel pump, but was charged nearly $800. 00 for the repairs, including towing. I contacted audi and they refuse to do anything because their recall only covers the 2003 model, and not the 2004. Audi really needs to protect their customers and offer reimbursement to those of us who have experienced this very dangerous failure. A fuel pump failure on the highway could easily lead to severe injury or even death. Audi cannot claim that they are not on notice of this problem, as i have reviewed several similar complaints for this vehicle. |
