Fuel System, Gasoline · at 80,000 miles · reported Aug 20, 2007
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…

Tires · at 34,500 miles · reported Aug 1, 2003
My husband and I own a 2001 audi allroad which is equipped with goodyear wrangler f1 radial tires marked allroad size 225 r17 m+s rated. These are the only manufacturer approved tires for the vehicle. About a year ago I experienced a flat tire and the sidewall was damaged requiring a new tire. It took several days to obtain a tire and I was limited to driving on streets as the spare is not a full size tire and cannot be used over 50mph. On july 2, we experienced a flat tire caused by a nail and the sidewall of the tire blew out. We tried to find a replacement. The 3 audi dealers in our area…
Tires · reported Oct 24, 2002
Tire cracking, separating at seams and loosing air. Reported problem to perilli and they were uninterested. At this time only one tire is flat. I fear the other three will also crack and separate . All the tires are from the same series. After I finally got perelli to replace 1 tire it is now two weeks and the tire is still not arrived at craven tires. ( This is where perelli instructed me to go) I have had to rent a car while my car sits with a flat. I do not believe my defective tires are an isolated problem. I told perilli about the problem before the tire went flat and told them of my…
