| 1995 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY | THE FUEL LINE ON MY AUDI S6 WAS CLEARLY LEAKING FUEL INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURENCE FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF AUDI. MY CAR HAPPENED TO BE COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME AND THE PART WAS REPLACED. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING, HOWEVER, THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON FAILURE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF CAR AND THAT AUDI IS FAILING TO RECOGNIZE THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART WORTHY OF A RECALL. SOME OWNERS ARE BEING FORCED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY RELATED PART OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKET. WHY A CAR MANUFACTURER IS NOT WILLING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT RUNS THE RISK OF A FIRE IS BEYOND ME. I THINK THIS IS AN EXCELLENT CASE OF SOMETHING WHERE NHTSA SHOULD STEP IN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BY A FIRE. |
