Otherwise the car could be wrecked to cause fatal accident. It was the first time since I had this brand new Audi Q7 in November 2019 running 26,600 miles. After Audi certified tech inspected, he concluded the fuel pump defective and needed to replace a new one for $3000+. Here is the link the tech completed his walkaround video [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
