TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 AUDI A4. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED INACCURATE READINGS WITH THE FUEL TANK CAPACITY LEVEL, WHICH WAS LESS THAN HALF. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE "LOW FUEL LEVEL" WARNING SOUNDED IN THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ATTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 62,000.
