Consumer Description

The alternator malfunctioned and was not available for inspection upon request My safety was put at risk as the car ceased to move while driving on high speeds on the hwy The problem has been reproduced by several other audi owners. This is a widespread issue putting multiple lives at risk The vehicle component has been inspected by the manufacture There were no malfunctions happening prior I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden, all the lights were going off on the car. alot of malfunctioning. first message was electrical system malfunction, then rear spoiler malfunction and the car ceased to begin moving. I had to park it in the merging lane and feared for my safey. I decided to call audi for a jump start. the car started but as soon as the cables were removed the car died again. i had to then call for a tow truck to take the car to the dealership. All this happened while i was cold and stuck in the middle of a busy highway street. I was told by audi this is a widespread issue. they did not provide a loaner car as they said they were out and ive been on the waiting list for the past 3 weeks. They also said the parts were back ordered and i can be looking at 3-6 months without my car. No reinbursement for the car payments either and im limited to a rental for $50 a day max which i would have to pay out of pocket and get reimbursed while paying for the car note as well. This is unacceptable.
