Consumer Description

Starter Generator failure of the 48v Mild hybrid system. This issue is very common, and has a recall on the 2019+ audi a6 (however its because of a risk of electrical fire). Car sends errors to driver as many electrical components begin to fail and fault one by one, steering wheel dynamics shifted while in motion (as steering module failed), air suspension faults occurred. The car inevitably died during operation. Was stuck inside of vehicle, the internal door handles are powered by the 48v system, they are not mechanical latches. Car stalls out when the 48v battery fails. I have had this part replaced on my car, dealership says there are 8 just like it in the past 2 months. Very common issue for Audi's. As more of these find their way on the road, each car magnifies the risks to vehicle owners and other drivers as these issues are becoming more in more common in 3 year old Audi models.
