At times when driving the car the acceleration becomes slow and it stalls with a jerk like it's going to just stop also, when the car is put in reverse gear it will not move. I am stuck. The prnd flashing on the dashboard. I become afraid because this can cause serious accidents.
On december 18, 2011 I was driving down the road and my vehicle stalled. I had my car towed to the local audi dealer and was told that it needed a new fuel pump. I conducted an internet search and discovered that my audi had been part of a recall and I asked the local dealer if the recall repair had ever been conducted, they told me that my vehicle was not part of a recall. They told me that only audi a-4's were part of the recall. However, the federal safety agency website shows a letter dated july 23, 2007 sent from volkswagen of america, inc. (parent company of audi of america, inc.) to [xxx] of the federal safety agency notifying the federal safety agency that vw of america is recalling and replacing fuel pumps on vw passat's, audi a-4's and audi a-6's, additionally, the letter listed a range of VIN's for effected audi a6's that included my VIN. In the aforementioned letter, vw of america told the federal safety agency that 'any subject vehicle that is presented for service to an authorized volkswagen/audi dealer will be repaired free of charge. Could someone please assist me in causing vw of america to do what they told the federal safety agency they were going to do? Vw of america never notified me of the safety issue or of the recall, and when I presented this information to the dealer they still refused to pay for the repair. Audi endangered me and likely other consumers by never informing us of the recall and I have been forced to pay over $500 to repair a part that was part of a recall and would be repaired free of charge. Could you please assist me in collecting my funds from audi? Additionally, I believe they should be subject to significant penalties and fines for deceiving the federal safety agency. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
