FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
AUTOMOBILE HAS RUN OUT OF GAS ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYING ANYWHERE FROM 1/4 TO 3/4 LEVEL. ADDITIONALLY, COMPUTER SHOWS ANYWHERE FROM 70 TO 280 MILES LEFT UNTIL EMPTY. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED ON THE HIGHWAY ON THESE OCCASIONS - TWICE HAVING TO WALK TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION IN TERRIBLE WEATHER, ONCE A TOW SERVICE HALPED ME ON THE TACONIC STATE PARKWAY. AUDI REPLACED ALL 3 "SENDING UNITS" ON JAN 26, 1999 AND OCTOBER 15, 1999. FUEL GAUGE/SENDING UNITS HAVE AGAIN MALFUNCTIONED- I.E. AFTER DRIVING 300 MILES ON 1 TANK OF GAS, GAUGE AT THE 3/4 FULL LEVEL, COMPUTER SHOWS 375 MILES TO EMPTY- AN EVEN GREATER NUMBER THAN PREVIOUSLY SHOWN. CONTACTED BOTH DEALERSHIP(NEW COUNTRY AUDI) AND AUDI OF AMERICA INC. I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, 3 OUT OF 5 AUDI A6'S HAVE THE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS NECESSARY TO FIX THE PROBLEM WILL BE AVAILABLE. *AK

TIRES
UPON INSPECTING THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE OF MY 2010 AUDI A6, I NOTICED A "BUBBLE" IN THE SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE. THE BUBBLE WAS ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND BULGED ABOUT 1/2 INCH OUTWARD. BECAUSE THIS CAN COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF THE TIRE, I REQUESTED THE AUDI DEALER REPLACE THE TIRE WITH A NEW ONE. MILEAGE AT TIME OF FAILURE 6500. *TR
