MY FUEL GAUGE HAS FAILED. I CHECKED WITH YOUR RECALL NOTICED FOR MY CAR AUDI A6 4.2L 2001, AND THE SENDING UNIT APPARENTLY HAS FILED AND WAS RECALLED. HOWEVER FOR MY PARTICULAR ENGINE, NO SUCH RECALL WAS INITIATED. THE 4.2 L ENGINE SHOULD ALSO BE PART OF THIS RECALL. IT TOOK MY $4,000 TO FIGURE OUT THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE SENDING UNIT. THE AUDI DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP AND THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER THE 4.2L ENGINES AS WELL. I WAS STRANDED TWICE ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD NO IDEA IT WAS BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE IT READ HALF FULL. CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENDED I

MY HUSBAND AND I OWN A 2001 AUDI ALLROAD WHICH IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER F1 RADIAL TIRES MARKED ALLROAD SIZE 225 R17 M+S RATED. THESE ARE THE ONLY MANUFACTURER APPROVED TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE AND THE SIDEWALL WAS DAMAGED REQUIRING A NEW TIRE. IT TOOK SEVERAL DAYS TO OBTAIN A TIRE AND I WAS LIMITED TO DRIVING ON STREETS AS THE SPARE IS NOT A FULL SIZE TIRE AND CANNOT BE USED OVER 50MPH. ON JULY 2, WE EXPERIENCED A FLAT TIRE CAUSED BY A NAIL AND THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE BLEW OUT. WE TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT. THE 3 AUDI DEALERS IN OUR AREA DID NOT CARRY THE TIRE, AND AFTER SEVERAL REFERRALS WE FOUND A TIRE AT GRAND PRIX TIRES IN COSTA
