FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Description of Safety Failure:I am writing to report a recurring, premature safety failure of the fuel delivery system that poses an immediate risk of engine stalling at highway speeds. The original factory fuel pump failed at approximately 75,000 miles and required replacement. A brand-new replacement fuel pump has now failed prematurely just 30,000 miles later (at 114,000 total vehicle miles).This vehicle's specific failure pattern perfectly mirrors the structural vacuum, pressure regulation, and fuel pump failure modes explicitly detailed in active federal safety campaign NHTSA Recall 22V673000 (Audi Recall 20DS) regarding a damaged internal tank vent pipe.When running this vehicle's VIN through the NHTSA database, it currently states "0 Unrepaired Recalls." This indicates that my specific vehicle was excluded from the original manufacturing batch of 13,004 affected vehicles. However, given that multiple fuel pumps are being rapidly destroyed by localized fuel delivery pressure failure, it is clear that the scope of Campaign 22V673000 was drawn too narrowly by Volkswagen Group of America. I am requesting that the NHTSA review this complaint to investigate an expansion of the fuel tank recall to include this vehicle block before an unaddressed tank defect causes a catastrophic highway stall. This vehicle also had two EVSP leak detection pumps replaced 3 months after the first fuel pump of August 2025 which was November 2025. When asked about a recall the service manager and Audi Corporate says my vehicle has no recalls and does not even acknowledge that this issue could possibly be apart of the 13,000 vehicle made in 2021 and 2022, being that my vehicle is going through a fuel month every year or so. Why would three fuel pumps be installed in one vehicle in 4 years. Please help me in understanding this. They have replaced a total of 3 fuel pumps and they lied to say one when they had.

Dear Sir or Madam: I am submitting a safety complaint regarding my 2022 Audi Q3 involving water intrusion from the sunroof. At approximately 41,000 miles, approximately a month ago, water began leaking through the front edge of the sunroof despite the sunroof never being opened prior to the issue. The leak was not caused by clogged drains or lack of maintenance. Water entered through the overhead console, resulting in failure of the interior lighting system causing lights to flicker on/off and water dripping directly onto me, the driver, while operating the vehicle. These issues created a significant distraction and potential safety hazard, especially during night driving. The dealership diagnosed the issue and confirmed that the repair required modification of the sunroof assembly and track to correct a water intrusion problem. This was not a routine maintenance issue. The total cost of repair was $1,259.18, which I paid out-of-pocket. Additionally, the service advisor at the dealership stated that this is a frequent problem seen on Audi Q3 vehicles and expressed surprise that it has not already been subject to a recall. Given that this issue involves water intrusion affecting electrical components and actively interfering with safe vehicle operation, I believe this may represent a broader design or manufacturing defect impacting vehicle safety. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this issue for potential investigation and possible recall action. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Coolant leak was detected, multiple cracks in water pump. Once fixed 2 days later coolant got into wiring harness and caused multi system failure, car stalled on the freeway. Cost over $5k to fix at certified Audi dealer. Recall only covered until year 2021 and I have a 2022 model

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE

Vehicle was serviced in 2025 for an electrical issue impacting multiple electrical components of car. Approximately one year later the car is back in the shop for both an electrical issue causing lane departure and now lane keep assist to trigger an error. I was told by the local dealership that it is likely related to an electrical module underneath the bumper of the rear of the car. The dealer is franchise and does not share records with other Audi dealerships and therefore unable to evaluate the problem with the prior Audi dealer who identified and repaired the first issue impacting multiple sensors. I was told this current issue seems to be related to a component underneath the harness of the rear bumper, but may be impacting other electrical systems.

When I go to fill up gas in my car when its nearing empty, I put the hose in to fill it up and it stops almost immediately. Sometimes it leaks out.

The fuel pump is what the issues is with my 2022 Audi Q3 it has been replaced twice in three years of me having the vehicle the first time was in November 2022 a year after I got it came out of the store, and it would not start. The second time I was in a fast-food restaurant line, and it just cut off in line, so I had to try and get it started and out of the line before it cut off again got it tow into the dealership, and it was replaced again in November 2024.
