While proceeding through a busy intersection my car died. It was later determined that the fuel pump had failed in my car which was only 2 years old and had approximately 55,000 miles.
2003 Audi A4 fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 51 of 51, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Our 2003 a4 has failed twice in the last year due to fuel pump failure. The situation is very dangerous because the car stops in the middle of the road. I learned about the recall on fuel pumps and contacted audi USA as outlined in the federal safety agency web site. I was told there was no recall and they could not help me. The dealership also did not know about the recall. When I showed it to them they said they did not have the new pumps and my only option was to place an "in stock" potentially defective pump in my car until the new pumps arrive. I told them I did not want the old pump because my family had been lucky to escape injury in the first two failures. I was told there was no other option. In sum, audi has intentionally placed my family at risk by installing a possibly defective part in our car.
Inoperative fuel pump and, ultimately, stoppage of fuel supply to the engine causing it to stall this is the 2nd fuel pump installed on this car. See odi # 10150440.

I was driving on the freeway when my a4 1.8 lost power...I barely made it to the shoulder and almost got hit by a car who must not have notice my speed or that my hazards lights were on...I was towed to the dealership and according to the service department it was a faulty fuel filter that caused the fuel pump to fail. Both part were replaced, the car was supposedly test driven to ensure it was operating properly...however, a month later I had another failure (not related to the fuel system).
2003 audi a4 quattro 3.0 - while driving the car just stopped running as if out of gas. It was towed to the dealership and the located that the fuel pump had failed. This car has been fully serviced by the dealer and has 33k miles. The dealer indicated that they have started to see these show up.
I own a 2003 audi a4. I can not refuel the car with the opw model 12vw nozzle. The nozzle shuts off immediately and spills gas back out onto the car and person fueling the car. All other opw models and other makes of nozzles work normally. This is causing more of a problem in my area lately because most new gas stations use this nozzle and as old nozzles are being replaced, they use the opw 12vw.
2003 audi a4 quattro 3.0l, 38,517 miles. Fully maintained by audi dealer w/ documentation. Engine shut off during normal drive in heavy city traffic. Almost LED to an accident at an intersection. Audi diagnosed as failed fuel pump which they replaced. Service manager noted that 3 other new model audi's within same week had fuel pump failure. Highly concerning to him and us.
This my second audi I own, I already witnessed few know issues with the 2003 a4 model, which has the pirrelli tires as poor qulaity, also the fuel pump which is a factory defect ( no recall from audi), plus lately the gas indicator which has to do with fuel pump. My car was hold for 3 weeks to be serviced and audi did not even cover the tab of my rental during this time, my experience is audi cutomer relations should learn how to take of their customers, because the service sucks.
While driving vehicle stopped in the middle of a dark road. It was towed, and dealer discovered that fuel pump was defective. Manufacturer stated there were no recalls. However, mechanic claimed these vehicles were prone for fuel pump failure.
I was driving my 2003 audi a4 (3.0 ) on a highway at 60 MPH. Time - 11:30 pm on sat.,march 13. There was a sudden power failure: engine shut down and the headlights and power seering went out. I managed to get the car off the road and onto the shoulder. The car was towed to the dealer - palisades audi in rockland county, ny. According to the service dept at palisades audi, the cause of this disasterous failure was a defective fuel pump. I feel lucky to be alive after what had happened with my car on the night of 3/13/04.
