There is a current recall for 2015-2020 Audi A3 sedan models regarding the vehicles EVAP SYSTEM, and I believe my car is experiencing that same issue but my specific vehicle isn-??t listed as it is a 2016 Audi A3 Premium Plus Sportback E-tron. My engine light is illuminated and when checked, the detecting device says the warning is due to a small leak from the EVAP system in the vehicle.

Upon parking in my garage, the vehicle leaked fuel from the rear-wheel on passenger side. There were no warning lights to indicate the fuel line or other component was compromised or malfunction. The vehicle was towed to the Audi service center for inspection. The inspection revealed fuel was in the charcoal canister, filter and leak diagnostic pump; replacements were needed. Please see video: https://api.mykaarma.com/video-walkaround/details?inspection_uuid=62b08d040e1dff5107d5e511&fileType=image_and_video The fuel leak was similar to the 2016 Audi Recall 16V647000; it was due to a problem with the suction pump inside the fuel tank, fuel may flow into the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system. As fuel accumulated in the EVAP system, it leaked out through the charcoal canister filter element.

Audi baton rouge informed me there is a problem with coolant migration at coolant tank connector (coolant could leak into wire harness) and cause severe damage to electrical system want $300 +_ to repair. Since this is not something caused under normal conditions or negligence on my part I do not feel I should be responsible for cost of repair, should be a recall on Audi

There has been a National recall on my VIN with no known fix at this time. My car has stalled, would not cool off, it will read error codes that don-??t make any sense. It goes from speed, to shut engine off now, immediately exit and turn off vehicle, saying it-??s too Hot, oil leaking, airbag lights coming on/off randomly, the air conditioner won-??t cool off when the dash lights are reading multiple codes and I-??ve had to stop my car multiple times on the highway and when just running to the store a few miles away. It-??s very strange and concerning. It-??s becoming for frequent and I drive every day all day for work, along with having children in my car. I purchased this brand new from Audi of Fort Worth Texas in 2016. All routine maintenance has always been done. My concern for myself and children has increased over the last few months and each time I have to get in my car I have a fear that overwhelms me! I-??ve contacted the Audi dealership multiple times and they-??ve said I need to be patient, there is no fix at this time and they don-??t know if/when there will be one. This is not acceptable and is putting our lives at risk on a daily basis. I would like to know my options and their legal responsibility to help the situation. I will notate the most recent date of occurrence below. The pictures I-??ve uploaded are from the most recent experience when leaving a Sam-??s grocery club and had just turned from a red light on a main road. I had to stop my vehicle, shut off the engine and remain in a center lane dangerously fast traffic all around me and had to call my son to pick me up.

I have contacted Audi USA several times regarding the recall on my Audi A3 2016 but it seems that they don't care about the issue and asked me to drive it and nothing will happen.
