Consumer Description

On 02/14/2022. Car just died while waiting for cars to pass to turn at light. Dashboard started flasing "engine start system: malfunction! - Please contact service" then "Parking Break Malfunction!" then, "Steering: Malfunction! - You an can continue driving" Panicked because was holding up traffic. After a couple minutes trying Car then just started drove home and put on battery charger overnight. Hoping that's all it was. Next morning 02/15/2022 started right up early morning no issues to be concerned with was on highway doing approx 69 mph, drove approximately 42 miles then then while only driving 35 mph 4 lane highway. Again, No warnings, but while DRIVING Engine and steering, just shut down. Almost causing me to be reared and then hit on passanger side. I don't even want to think what could have happened had this happened on interstate or if my children were in the vehicle. It was a very dangerous and scary situation even happening while only doing 35 mph. This should be considered a MAJOR recall. Vehicle was towed on 02/16/22 to Clearwater Audi. We did not receive vehicle back until after over 9 weeks, 04/22/22. Yesterday, 06/07/2022 Sensors glitching again and being called back into dealership. I want this life threatening recall documented. There is absolutely no reason why a well cared for vehicle with less than 18,000 miles should be having these issues. We We keep losing out on time from work and driving back and forth to dealership. We need to be able to rely on the safety and integrity of this vehicle not only for the driver/passangers but for the safety of others on the road. Thank you for your time to hear our concerns
