My Audi Q7 was conducted safety recall (NHTSA: 16V660) last 2017, but after recall the condition was same as previous. The condition was gas smell inside passenger cabin, and outside (in way of exhaust pipe..). when I drive couple of minutes, I felt headache and can't drive continued. I had visiting dealer shop located in spring in Texas, and explanation my car condition, but they said that they can not do again due to already one year over. So, I've checked their reporting, but I couldn't located any changed any repair or changed parts (I.e., seal, packing) for fuel pump system. Please see attached. I believe this is very important for my health due to very strong gas leak. Please consideration of my situation. Thank you so much.

While driving and making turns I water comes out from underneath the dashboard. It comes out on both the drive and passenger side depending on which way I'm turning. I have reported this to Audi and have read about other owners experiencing the same thing. What I have found out is that it is a drain problem. The piping is crimped due to the type of material it is made out of. This is very unsafe when it comes out of the driver side because not only is it shocking while driving to have water splashed on you, but also because the floor is now wet where the break and gas pedals are located.

Intake manifold flap on passenger not opening fully causing the check engine light to turn on. I checked the web and I there are a lot of complaints about the same problem. I've had BMW, mercedez, Toyota's and a lot more, none of those vehicle gave me problem. Audi is taking care of other models with 2.0 tfsi engine, they extended the emmission warranty to 10 yrs or 100K. Audi should take care of this issue aswell.
