2011 Audi Q5 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1312012
Internal NHTSA #	10898382
Manufacurer	Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
Brand	AUDI
Model	Q5
Model Year	2011
File date	19/08/16
Component	FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The indoor odor of the car smelled strong of gas. The area around or under the car was completely dry. The smell was prevalent while moving or parked. The gas tank was dry at the nozzle. I drive my family in the car, including my grandchildren. I was concerned for our safety so had my local mechanic evaluate. They discovered a pin hole leak in the fuel pump under the rear seat and gas was all over the gas tank. Any spark would have set the car in flames and possible explosion given the location of the leak. This repair cost $1131. This obvious flaw should be identified by audi and a recall should be in place to replace this defective part.
