Description of the problem | My car developed a fuel tank leak spontaneously. I noticed that after filling my tank and only driving 100miles back and forth from work over 2-3 days the i had to refuel. And then i noticed a huge pool of gasoline after i left my parked and saw fuel dripping from the bottom. And then my car smelled of gas when i turned on my car. I took it in for service and there was fuel tank leak... I could've died in an explosion of fire. This is ridiculous that audi has had 241k recalls but the indicator light in car doesn't go off to notify you of malfunction that is life threatening. |
