| Description of the problem | The car gas a strong gas smell in the cabin of the car, everyday, all day. Took it to audi and they said they fixed the "problem". The car can't be driven. Its causing nausea and headaches when driving more than 5 mins. I don't feel safe driving a car that is producing a gas smell. I believe that gas flange recall created more issues to my car that audi made me pay for and never fixed the gas smell. |
