While driving my engine light came on, and I smelled gas. I brought the car to a shop to have it repaired. There is a gas leak from rollover valve on the gas tank. Was recalled in 2009, repaired by the dealer. I have just bought the car used and found that the same problem is occurring again. With some research I found out that the dealer fixed the problem with epoxy.
The contact owns a 2004 Audi Allroad. While driving at an unknown speed, burning fumes emitted into the vehicle. After inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that a fire erupted near the turn signals and the steering column area. The contact was able to extinguish the flames with water. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and later to a dealer for inspection and diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign numbers: 08V157000 (fuel system, gasoline), 06V198000 (electrical system), and 04V133000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no remedy. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.
