I smelled a super strong gas smell from my car leaking somewhere in the engine hidden by other parts, it smells so bad it-??s hard to be in the car it-??s a fire hazard. Due to the fuel the car hardly starts due to the fuel not getting to the engine

My vehicle as well as many Audi with the mechatronic system are having an issue that present a error, " mechatronic failure TPMS gearbox malfunction). It often either not drivable, even when in traffic or drives at a snail's pace when attempting to exit traffic. Audi corporate said a recall is only done when the NHTSA feel that's it a issue that can calls safety &/or death. This seem to effect, from my research, 2010 - 2014 Audi S4, S5 and A5 model [N the usa and there are some europe complaints, which I have found as well] manufactored at a particular plant or provider. This type of malfunction can certainly cause 'loss of life' as it occurs in traffic. I happen to live in metro atlanta ga, with our fast pace traffic, its a serious issue. There absolutely should be a recall. The cost to repair can be up to $15K. There is no way this should happed to a $60-$75 high-end vehicle. Have video's of the dashboard with the error and can upload to you. I was offered 15% on the repair, which is really an insult. Please look into this issue and its not hard to find others with this issue. I pray for some relief in the form of a recall. It has been happening sine 2010, from what I have learned.
