NHTSA Complaint #11327179 — 2020 AUDI Q3

I LEASED MY AUDI Q3 2020 ON 04/30/2020. THE MAIN ISSUE HAPPENED RECENTLY WHERE I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY BOULEVARD DOING ABOUT 50MPH AND THE ENGINE STALLED LEAVING ONLY THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WORKING. I MANAGED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON BUT HAD ONCOMING TRAFFIC DOING AT LEAST 60-70MPH. I FELT IN DANGER AND THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A GRAVE ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO AUDI WHO SAYS IT'S IN NEED OF A SOFTWARE UPDATE, THEY DO NOW KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE BUT WOULD BE IN THE 3RD QUARTER OF 2020. THEY WILL CALL ME TO BEING MY CAR BACK IN FOR THE UPDATE WHEN AVAILABLE. THEY DEEMED IT SAFE TO DRIVE, DID NOT OFFER A COURTESY VEHICLE OR RENTAL. I EXPLAINED I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AND EVEN MADE A REPORT TO AUDI OF AMERICA WITHOUT ANY HELP. I HAVE A 1 MONTH OLD CAR THAT I FEEL IS GOING TO PUT MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF PEOPLE AROUND ME IN DANGER IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THEY DID NOT LEAVE ME WITH ANY CHOICE OTHER THAN TO TAKE THE CAR BACK BECAUSE I NEED TO GET TO AND FROM WORK. I EXPLAINED THAT SHOULD THE CAR BE DAMAGED, I BE INJURED OR WORSE THAT THEY ARE LIABLE GIVEN THAT I BROUGHT THE CAR IN AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. I SEE THIS REPORT HAS BEEN MADE MULTIPLE TIMES AND I CAN SAY THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION TO HAPPEN AT FULL SPEED WITH MANY CARS AROUND YOU. I HAVE ALSO HAD MULTIPLE ALERTS SAYING DRIVER ASSISTANCE MALFUNCTION. I ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN STOPPED AND THE AUTO STOP ENGAGES THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN A CORNER FROM A RED LIGHT. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR IDENTIFIES TAR ON THE ROAD AS LANES AND JERKS THE CAR AWAY AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL THE STEERING BACK. *TR
