My SUV had stopped heating/defrosting and vehicles car charging ports appear to not be working any longer. It was discovered that my coolant pump was blocked with debris. The heat has returned, still no power to the charge points in vehicle. While driving on highway, my vehicles dash started to light up instructing me to turn off engine coolant low (electric). However, my H C coolant gauge was just below midpoint. It appears to be a bit faulty. Nonetheless, I pulled off highway and asked a local car supplier store and mechanic shop to look, they reported that it appears to be leaking coolant inside the vehicle puddling the coolant in the undercarriage of the vehicle not leaving any visible signs of leaks on driveway. Please advise.

On the same day the 5 year warranty expired, the car stopped working. The car was towed to the dealer, and diagnose was gas pump failure. 3 months after, the same problem. After 1 month waiting for the car to be fixed, again the same problem. Now the dealer is saying they just figure there was a problem with a computer part that was associated to the gas pump. The car could have failed while i was driving, a life threatening problem,

Received a recall related to electric coolant pump in June. Parts not available. Called my dealer princeton Audi and no help. Received second notice regarding this in September, that Audi had an 'interim fix" and advised me to contact princeton Audi again. I did, but they did't have the part for the 'interim fix' either. I have called them 3 times and now am on a waiting list with over 100 names. Audi apparently is not making these parts fast enough, and in the meantime, we are advised to keep the car out of the garage... winter is coming in the northeast. They have no idea when they will get the part

Check engine fuel system alarm warning light - with caution to drive below 35 mph and immediately to service center. Service center says they found nothing wrong. Then read ap report on fuel clogging and fires. This vehicle had a previous recall but we never got a warning or letter (they sent it to an address in West palm beach that we never ever gave them or lived at).
