Fuel system problems... Replaced rear fuel pump 8/15/2017. Car blew out fuel line within two weeks.. Spilled gas all under car.. Caught fire and burned to the gound. VW technical pros did work... @ audi pensacola (sonic auto group) . Car had previously had recall on fuel system fixed in 2016. Still failed. Got into car in am and it would run for 2 seconds and quit. Called service tech for guidance.. Said get tow truck to bring it in to audi pensacola for exam.
Car stalled in the middle of bumper to bumper traffic with me and a two year old strapped in her seat. Most horrifying experience in my whole 48 years of life. Your dealer did nothing and said it's all in my head. Car was at the dealership multiple times ever since for stalling while me driving! Will start class action suit through an orlando law firm of debaubien, knight, manzaris, simmons and neal unless car is replaced.
