Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND HAD JUST CROSSED A TRACK, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE WITH NO WARNING MY CAR STOPPED. MY WHEEL STARTED TIGHTENING AND I COULDN'T PRESS ON THE BRAKES. THANKS GOODNESS I DIDNT HAVE A CAR BEHIND ME BECAUSE THE CAR JUST LOST ALL POWER. I COULDN'T EVEN STEER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS DUMB MINDED TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD TO CALL A WRECKER TO COME GET ME AND THE CAR. NOW PICTURE ME, A WOMAN ALONE, IN THE ROAD AT10:30 AT NIGHT, WAITING FOR A WRECKER TO COME GET MY BEAUTIFUL, LUXURY CAR WITH JUST 69,000 MILES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE UP KEEP. I TOWED THE CAR TO AN AUDI DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE TURBOS WENT OUT ON THE CAR AND WARRANTY WANT COVER THIS $11,071 BILL. PURCHASED THIS CAR AT 39,000 MILES AND PAID A PRETTY PENNY, STILL OWE A PRETTY PENNY ON THIS VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY THIS HUGE REPAIR BILL ON TOP OF A HUGE CAR NOTE. BTW, CAR STILL AT SHOP, STILL NOT RUNNING UNLESS THE TURBOS ARE REPLACE. THIS IS NOT EVEN THE ENGINE ON THE CAR AND IT COST THIS EXPENSIVE.
