Start/Stop system malfunction. The vehicle gave me this warning and the vehicle almost stopped completely in the interstate while doing 65mph. The warning disappeared after couple of times of turning the car back on, but it appeared once again. It looks that their are many complaints and a class act lawsuit on Audi about this problem but no recalls. It's dangerous and really mind blowing that nothing has been done on this issue.

On my way to drop my child off at school, I stopped to refuel my Audi Q7. Upon inserting the nozzle to refuel the car, gasoline immediately began jetting out of the fuel door before the auto-shutoff kicked in, covering myself as well as my vehicle. Thankfully, the hot exhaust did not ignite the liquid or fuel vapor potentially causing a deadly fire. Despite having no fuel remaining, I was able to take the vehicle to our local mechanic where they discovered a TSB denoting this specific issue. The TSB was initially released 04/28/2016 for Model Year 2017 Audi Q7s. It was subsequently updated to include Model Year 2018 Q7s as well. This is a documented factory safety defect that denotes if this issue is to occur, to replace the whole fuel tank. Further research shows that a valve inside the non-wear, non-serviceable fuel filler neck can become dislodged and nearly completely block the filler neck from accepting fuel. This can cause a potential safety issue as the result of this blockage, the vehicle as well as driver can become doused in gasoline before a pump's auto-shutoff can kick in due to the shallow depth of the fault. The problem is known and documented as being an issue nearly immediately after the Model Year 2017 Q7 line was released. There was no prior warning or indication that this could occur at any time filling the vehicle.

The fuel tank has a broken flap in the filler neck. Per the NHTSA ID # below, this issue is a known issue. My vehicle is experiencing this issue and will not allow me to put fuel into my car. I am unclear why the NHTSA feels that this is just a technical bulletin rather than a recall. Why should the consumer be subject to replacing a faulting known design by the manufacturer, Audi, in this case. I am now going to have to pay an extract few thousand to have this issue resolved. This is completely unfair to the consumer. NHTSA ID Number: 10150656 Manufacturer Communication Number: A201804 2044039-

On 5/6/2017, I called Audi dealer dch Audi oxnard, ca. 93036 reported the fuel rail recall. The service dept told me the parts would be in next week. I continued to inquire about it several more times. They said there were no parts and would call me when they came in. It has been over 5 months. The vehicle runs ok but my wife is afraid to drive or ride in it. My last call to them was Oct 2019. They said they would try to bump it up, but never called me back.

I have received multiple letters from Audi concerning NHTSA recall 19V035. Each time I attempt to schedule the suggested repair, the dealer (Audi, orange park--jacksonville, fl) tells me parts are not yet available! when will Audi make parts available to dealers for this recall on the fuel rails?

Our Q7 is less than a year old. I smell gas when I park the car even after a short drive of about 3 miles. The idi service had said that this was related to vacuum pump and fixed it last week. I still smell gas and I am concerned with safety. I saw previous models have been recalled due to potential fire due to gas leak and I am worried that this might be the case with 2018 models as well.

Smell of gasoline when in the garage and it turned out to be a leaking fuel rail.

While the vehicle was parked in the garage I noticed a strong smell of gasoline. When I brought it in for service they replaced the high pressure fuel pump that was leaking at the fitting.
