Consumer could be driving and tank will show that it is full. But, in reality, it is empty. Dealer had repaired fuel gauge four times, and culd not determine what is causing problem.
Gas leaking on the floor of garage from roll-over nipple. The dealer refused to apply recall (not covered VIN) for this issue. The vehicle was repaired with audi parts as listed in DOT recall documents. The repair failed in april 2015. The 3m material used in the repair had deteriorated.
