This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
I have recently purchased my 2014 Audi A6 in Honolulu at JN Autogroup. After just a couple days of driving the vehicle I have noticed that the car started to smell like gas in and out of the vehicle. The smell is very potent and very sensible throughout every second of driving and I am reporting this because this could be very hazardous and I may not know if it could catch on fire with the amount of fumes that is lingering around. To the point where as I am driving it is making me dizzy. I have researched about issues for these cars with the same year, make and model and I have read that there was a recall on the fuel line leak but i don-??t know why my car wasn-??t included in this recall base of the data I have pulled up on the Audi recall center. I-??m not sure if it has been recalled but the problem for sure wasn-??t solved with my vehicle. On the other hand, I have also noticed that the reverse camera on this vehicle goes for a split second on the dash whenever in reverse then suddenly blacks out the entire screen. I am thinking that the wiring or some kind of harness that operates the reverse camera is not done properly by the factory that causes malfunctions within the system. In conclusion, these are two of the reasons why I am completing this incident report because I feel that these are two hazardous features that is important for not just myself but the community and people that surrounds me whenever I am on the road behind the wheel. It is important for this to be resolved because the company of this vehicle advertises all these features and sells this product but there is an issue with the product and I want it to be looked upon and not swept under the rug because I am not only speaking for myself but for the many thousands and thousands of these car owners that is on the road today who are having the same issue as I do. I-??d appreciate your service if this can be fixed, thank you!
In the summer months, my 2014 Audi A6 develops fuel-like fumes filling the cabin and trunk. The fumes become more intense/pronounced when I accelerate from a stop or when moving through traffic. Several times in 2019, my Audi hesitated then stopped twice in traffic. Once on a city road and the other time on the left lane of a highway. Audi service diagnosed a gas pump issue. However, a replacement gas pump did not fully prevent gas fumes from developing in the car. I believe this is related to NHTSA campaign id 17V781000/Volkswagen 20ar. But, I've been told otherwise from the dealership and your site.
The contact owns a 2014 Audi A6. Contact stated that while driving at 40 mph, the vehicle loss motive power and jerked with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also mentioned an abnormal odor inside the vehicle. The contact veered to the shoulder of the roadway, turned the vehicle off and back on which failed to resume back to normal. The contact depressed the accelerator which failed to exceed 40 mph. The vehicle was taken to ridgeland auto world (750 ridgewood rd, ridgeland, ms 39157, (601) 899-8500), where the vehicle was diagnosed however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle, and determined that the water pump and a leaking fuel line needed to be replaced which was still pending. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 17V781000 (fuel system, gasoline). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.
I have a fuel leakage on the lower right side of my vehicle and as soon as I park the vehicle I can feel the fuel smell all around my vehicle. I have given my vehicle to authorized Audi dealer (bell Audi, Edison) and they never said anything about the recall going on Audi vehicles
There is a fuel smell inside the car and in the garage where it is parked. In stop and go traffic moving at 5-10 miles per hour, the smell is very noticeable inside the car.
