| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My fuel gauge has failed. i checked with your recall noticed for my car audi a6 4.2l 2001, and the sending unit apparently has filed and was recalled. however for my particular engine, no such recall was initiated. the 4.2 l engine should also be part of this recall. it took my $4,000 to figure out that the problem was the sending unit. the audi dealership had no idea what the problem was. this is a very serious safety hazard which needs to be addressed asap and the recall needs to be extended to cover the 4.2l engines as well. i was stranded twice on the side of the highway. i had no idea it was because i ran out of fuel because it read half full. can you imagine what would have happended if it occurred in the middle of the night in the desert. please make sure this gets recalled!. worried consumer. thank you *tr |
