2011 Audi Q5 fuel/propulsion system problems

“Audi q5 shows no recalls on my vehicle. My car stops randomly while driving even while being on highways and interstates. As well as the passenger side leaking due to sunroof drainage coming to the inside (which may affect the air bags). This Car has not had any repairs on recalls that I know of personally.”

“Audi offered a warranty extension for intake manifold & fuel injectors in certain 2008-2011 Model Year Audi Vehicles with 2.0 TFSI Engine. Audi rejected our claim for a faulty fuel injector in our 2011 car citing that “vehicle does not have the extended warranty for fuel injectors and the information that was submitted was only for 2.0 TFSI Engine's with the Engine code of CBFA & CCTA. The engine in your vehicle is a 3.2 FSI with the Engine code CALB. So this warranty extension would not be applicable to your vehicle.” Our Audi dealership diagnosed our car with the same fuel injector issue listed by Audi in this warranty extension as well as stating that this is a very common issue with our make, model and year. Our Audi is a 2011 model, less than 120,000 miles, and less than 10 years when the malfunction indicator lamp appeared. Their letter does not stand to prove that a faulty fuel injector was not placed in our car that was built in 2011, the same year that they installed faulty fuel injectors in their 2.0 TFSI engines. Audi dealership diagnosed our car as suffering from misfire conditions that in turn cause the malfunction indicator lamp to appear. The…”

“MY CAR STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE SAID IT WAS THE FLANGE/ FUEL PUMP AND THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY DONE BUT THE SAME ISSUE PERSIST. THE YET ME DRIVE HOME WITH GAS POURING OUT OF MY CAR AFTER SEEING IT AND WANT TO CHARGE ME 1800 FOR A RECALLED PART. I WAS TERRIBLY SCARED AND CANNOT DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR.”

“WELL FIRST IT WAS THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, BUT THE ONE I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT IS THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND ALSO THE FUEL PUMP WIRING WHICH WAS ALSO REMOVED FROM OUR VEHICLE, AND WE'RE LIKE TWO ABOUT HOW IT WAS PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP . ANYWAY I'VE ALREADY PUT A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED OTHER IMPORTANT COMPONENTS OF OUR VEHICLE INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP FLANGE WHICH WAS ALSO REPLACED COILS SPARK PLUGS SENSORS ETC. WHAT I'M COMPLAINING ABOUT NOW IS I'VE CONTACTED AUDI USA AND THEY HAVE STRING US ALONG FOR ALMOST A YEAR GOING BACK-AND-FORTH TO DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERSHIPS AND GETTING DIFFERENT RESPONSES OR DIFFERENT DIAGNOSIS OF WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. RECENTLY WE HAD OUR AUDI Q5 2011 FULLY DIAGNOSED AND NOW WE COME TO A WHOLE NEW DILEMMA AND MALFUNCTION OF OUR VEHICLE. WE KNEW THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE GOING BAD BECAUSE OF THE WIRING WHICH WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED FOR THE FUEL PUMP WHICH CAUSED THE ALTERNATOR ALSO TO GO BAD AND THE SENSORS AND NOT TO FORGET ABOUT THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS. WE THOUGHT WE FINALLY WERE GOING TO GET OUR CAR FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO US EVEN THOUGH WE I KNEW THAT OUR WARRANTEE WAS OUTDATED, BUT…”

“MY AUDI Q5 2011 CHECK ENGINE AND EPC LIGHT CONTINUE TO LIGHT UP MY DASH, VEHICLE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALERSHIP NOT ONCE NOT TWICE BUT MORE THAN THREE TIMES. CONTINUES TO HAVE THE SAME AND SIMILAR MISFIRES AND ACTUALLY SEEMS TO BE GETTING HOTTER THAN USUAL, THE ENGINE. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT RECALLS ON THE COOLANT PUMP,TIMING CHAIN, FUEL PUMP FLANGE, FUEL PUMP, WIRING SENSORS, EPC LIGHT BALL JOINTS, AND THE LIST GOES ON. WHAT HAS ME MOSTLY CONCERN IS THE RECALLS FOR ALL THE FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS. FOR EXAMPLE EMISSION CONTROL DEVICES LIKE THE EGR FUEL CAP FUEL GAUGE SENDER, FEEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUEL LEAKS STALLING AND HESITATION , HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING ONE OR ACTUALLY A COUPLE WHERE A FIRE WAS INITIATED WHILE PEOPLE WERE IN THE CAR . THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHO DRIVES THE CAR PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY IT SEEMS THAT EVEN DOOR CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AUDI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THESE REPAIRS AND RECALLS AND AND MAKE IT RIGHT ON THEIR PART . IF WE WOULD'VE KNOWN THIS CAR WAS GOING TO GIVE US THAT MUCH TROUBLE AFTER BUYING IT FROM A CERTIFIED DEALER, WE WOULD'VE NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OR IMAGINED OF DRIVING A LEMON . AFTER…”

“I AM EMAILING THIS LETTER AND HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WILL RESPOND TO MY REQUEST OF REOPENING MY CLAIM REGARDING MY 2011 AUDI Q5'S RECENT AND PATTERN LIKE PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY THE REFERENCE NUMBER ABOVE SHOWS MY CARS HISTORY AND EXPLAINS HOW IT'S ALL GOTTEN TO ME ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM AGAIN. AROUND THAT TIME WAS WHEN WE WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUDI SERVICE DEPT IN CHANDLER AZ, THE FACT THAT WE WERE LIED TO BY THE SUPERVISOR WHEN HE STATED THAT CHANGING THE WIRING WAS PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FLANGE, WHEN IN FACT IT WAS NOT. TWO OF THE THREE MAIN COMPONENTS FOR OUR FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED, THE MOST IMPORTANT THE FUEL PUMP AND THE REGULATOR, THREE TIMES WE TOOK IT BACK BECAUSE THEY NEVER GOT IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. THAT IS NOT INCLUDING ALL THE OTHERS THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WIRING, AND MAJOR PARTS OF THE ENGINE. RECENTLY WE TOOK OUR AUDI TO THE SERVICE DEPT IN SCOTTSDALE AZ , FOR THE RECALL OF THE AIR CANISTER AND ALSO BECAUSE IT WAS BEGINNING TO SMELL LIKE GAS AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND TROUBLE WITH THE STARTUP OF OUR VEHICLE. HAD IT CHECKEDOUT BY A CERTIFIED MECHANIC, WHICH…”
