Couple years ago my engine failed, it was recalled and company refused to pay for it. I payed for it and afterwards my radio modul failed, camera failed, the check engine light is on since I bought the car and recently my car stopped on the highway fast lane without warning. It was no shoulder and I stopped on the highway. I was lucky I didn-??t get rear ended n killed

I have experienced several failures and 3 recalls with my vehicle since I purchased it brand new. I have paid out thousands of dollars over the years for repairs that I feel were faulty being that I am on the only owner of the vehicle. I have approximately a little under 75k miles on my vehicle although I purchased in 2012 (2013 vehicle) only to take it to dealerships and pay for this and that but most recently my major complaint is my car has stopped on me 4 times and I paid originally for what the dealership stated was the problem only to take it back 3 times and now they state the FUEL PUMP is the problem and there is no recalls. Audi is known to have recalls on FUEL PUMPs but at this time do not reflect on my vehicle. However, my car has not been in an accident, I am the only owner, the mileage is under 100k and there is no explanation as to why the fuel pump needs replacing. Please look into this. Thank you.

I just had my fuel door actuator replaced on my 2013 Audi A5 with less than 44,500 miles on it in September 2018. I am having a very difficult time understanding why my fuel door actuator needed to be replace with so low mileage. The car has a range of 455 miles after a fill up the part cost $405.85 including a shipping charge. This means it cost me $4.17 to open and close the lid after a fill up. My argument is that the part was defective and it should be replaced for free. I sent the part back to Audi for review. Audi decline to accept responsiblity for the defective part. However, I am not finish with this case. I sent and email to the CEO of Volkswagen in North America and germany in regard to this issue. I am waiting for a reply I would like to know if other people having the same problem with their car over this issue. In addiction, my car has been recalled for water pump issues as well. I have had to replace the water pump three times. The car is being recalled again in regard to the water pump. The work to repair it requires it to be done in two stages. This means five water pump issues. When does a recall become excessive over the same issue. This is nonsense!
