NHTSA Complaint #11405108 — 2020 AUDI Q3

WE STOPPED AT AN ALL WAY STOP INTERSECTION AND THE CAR'S STOP-START SYSTEM HAD TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE RESTARTED THE ENGINE HESITATED, WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP ON THE DASH, AND THE CAR WENT INTO ITS "LIMP HOME" MODE. WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE A VERY SLOW SPEED. LUCKILY IT WAS ON A CITY STREET WITH A 25 MPH LIMIT AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. WE WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR WORKED NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A RECALL THAT SEEMS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE (OEM ID: 96H5. RECALL NAME: ENGINE CONTROL UNIT (ECU) SOFTWARE) AND HAVE SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED ASAP.
