What 2014 Audi A7 owners say
Fuel & propulsion system
Recently just purchased car at 64000 miles. 10 days after purchase, while driving on residential streets, noticed fuel odor, then vehicle shutting down. Unable to start, would crank but not start. Had to get towed. Next day added a gallon of gas, was able to start car, but immediately seen fuel spraying and leaking in engine, possibly from injectors, vacuum. Haven't gotten repaired yet as I am trying to either have dealership fix issues or Audi due to known issues/recall. Hoping to receive some resolution to start repairs
The cars fuel sender has an issue. The gas gauge shows that the tank is half full and it doesn't move. The car thinks it's out of gas and just stops. It's happened three times in the last month.
