The car was maintained well, as per manufacturers specs. Both the fuel pump and power steering pump failed at 4 yrs/approx 60,000 miles which is unacceptable by today's quality standards dealer investigated an existing fuel pump recall on the model but my VIN was "out of range". I believe the recall (06V017) incorrectly excluded some candidate vins.

I own a 2004 Audi A4 - 3.0 quattro. I was driving on the 710 long beach freeway in ca following my daughter's school bus on a field trip to the long beach aquarium prepared to spend a day with her. Suddenly, the car started shaking and then I realized I didn't have any power. I was able to maneuver the car to the shoulder of the freeway, but the 710 fwy has a very narrow shoulder. It was a very scary experience as big rig trucks were passing me on the driver's side literally inches away. I thought I was going to get hit by them. I called roadside assistance and was able to get the vehicle on a flat bed and towed to mckenna Audi in norwalk, ca. The dealer diagnosed the problem to a defective fuel pump and clogged fuel filter. The consequences are that I had to pay $80 to have it towed to the dealership as my roadside assistance only covered 5 miles. Secondly, I had to pay $1,100 in parts and service to mckenna Audi to have the car repaired. I see that Audi had a recall for the 2003 A4 for bad fuel pumps. I think that they should also recall the 2004 model fuel pumps as well.

Had one previous incident where the car stalled. It seemed this was cured by replacing the fuel filter. Six months later, the car died while being driven on the road. Engine stalled and would not restart. Car had to be towed to dealership. Dealership replaced fuel pump assembly. My car is a 2004 Audi A4 3.0 quattro. The defect appears to be similar to the 2003 Audi A4 recall.

- Jersey City, NJ, USA

Loud buzzing noise coming from rear seat, sounded like bad motor bearings. Approximately 2 minutes later the engine stalled and was forced to stop vehicle without any power assistance from engine. The Audi dealer found it was a faulty fuel pump, replaced with new fuel pump ok now. They indicated it was not covered in the 2003 fuel pump recall since my vehicle was an 04.

- Strongsville, OH, USA

Audi 2004 A4. Driving on the highway, fuel pump fails. Battery light lit up right before fuel pump completely failed. I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the fuel pump the very next day. There is a recall currently on the fuel pump for the 2003 A4 1.8T. Is there a possibility that the failure in my fuel pump is the same and that the recall should also cover 2004?

- Brisbane, CA, USA

There was no apparent sign of the failure until to the morning of when the car began to make a whirring noise from near the rear of the vehicle. After driving about 15 miles that morning the car sputtered and the engine quit as though it were out of gas. Fortunately I was in a low traffic area and was able to get the car off the road safely. The vehicle was towed the dealership where they replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter and charged more than $500 to do so. The dealership retained the old part.
