1999 Audi A6 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 39 of 39, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel sending unit was replaced via recall in dec 2000 and the exact same thing is happening again. Audi's recall did not fix the problem. The fuel gauge can read anywhere between full and empty regardless of the fuel quantity in the tank.
Recall 00v137 was completed, however 4 months later the fuel sending units failed again, the vehicle has had 6 attempts to correct the problem, the consumer ran out of gas once on a freeway because of the faulty fuel gauge.
The number of attempts to fix this issue will be six times. Audi has replaced the fuel sending units after the recall. The problem still exists. Audi has not fix the issue yet. I will be pursuing full remedy mandated by the lemon laws. Audi should be held accountable in not fixing the problem and also stating they did have fuel sending that would of resove the problem while in fact they did not.
Recall 00v137000/fuel sending unit: on above incident date recall repairs were done by davis strong peugot, audi; in salt lake city, ut; phone # 801/531-9900. Currently, problem reoccurred. Consumer believed problem was a repair failure or defective part. Seeking the federal safety agency help in this matter.

The fuel tank sensor is a widespread failure. Audi has provided no notification to anyone of this dangerous safety defect in its cars and has been unable to repair either defect in 76 days.
Since purchase of vehicle has noticed fuel gauge not working properly. It reads full even when tank is empty. Contacted dealer and manufacturer, and they are not able to get the part.
Gas fumes leak around tank electical conections; check engine light on. Still not repaired.
Due to a defective fuel sending unit , fuel gauge was indictating about 1/3 of fuel in tank. But apparently there wasn't any fuel,causing vehicle to stall. Sending unit has been on back order since july 1999.
A malfunctioned gas gauge. Consumer was unable to get it repaired or replaced. Dealer/mfr notified. *ak.et.
The fuel sending unit sensor became corroded causing the fuel gauge to read 1/4 of a tank when it was really empty resulting in the driver running out of gas. Nlm
Gas gauge is inaccurate, vehicle runs out of gas. Fuel gauge registers at least a quarter tank more of gas than there is in tank. Audi is totally aware of the problem. Vehicle has been in for service three times. Dealer is not able to fix the problem. *ak
Fuel gauge does not register the correct amount of fuel, causing the driver to think more fuel is in the tank when, in reality, the tank is empty. Problem was reported to the dealership. Dealer stated that the unit is being redesigned and that a new unit would be installed in vehicle. Please provide any further information.
Fuel gauge misreads the amount of fuel in the vehicle. Dealer has inspected the vehicle. Manufacturer will be notified.
Fuel level sending unit inaccurately reads the amount of fuel in the vehicle. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
This, and apparently most, audi a6 vehicles do not have functioning gas guages. As a result the driver does not know when the vehicle will run out of gas. I have run this vehicle out of gas 5 time since the problem began, the last at 65 MPH in the fast lane of ca 101 freeway. The sudden vehicle slowdown almost caused a multi-car, high speed accident. Audi has repeatedly attempted to fix the problem but after 8 months, report that they do not have a fix available.
Gas gauge malfunctioned, causing the fuel gauge to read "half full," and the vehicle stalled unexpectedly due to no gas in the vehicle. Presently, the fuel gauge reads full tank at all time. Also, a recall has been issued for the brake booster for which the dealer has not received parts since 3 months ago. This may cause extended stopping distance, and result in a crash in below 0 degree weather. Please provide further information.
The fuel gauge indicator is inoperable. Dealer has been notified.
The gas guage reads that there is more fuel in the vehicle than there actually is. Dealer replaced gas sensor, and problem still exists.
Gas guage red half full when tank empty. Car lost power when it ran out of gas on a remote section of highway causing an unsafe condition. Manufacturer aparantly was aware of defects in the electrical unit in the gas tank caused by fuel additives in the us. Notice should have been given to owners, even if no recall was planned as the units seem to fail intermitently. Company appears to be trying to ignore a problem they could fix with one mailing to its customers...
Fuel gauge gives wrong reading, when tank is it indicates that tank is on empty . Dealer has been contacted. Please provide further information.
Gas tank sensors failed, unable to determine gas volume. Mjs
