2014 AUDI S7 Power Train Problems

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A ROAD TRIP FROM FLORIDA TO WISCONSIN, OUR ENGINE STALLED WHILE COMING TO A STOP. WE MANAGED TO GET IT TO AN AUDI DEALER AND IT WAS DETERMINED BOTH TURBOCHARGERS WERE BROKEN. BOTH SHAFTS HAD SNAPPED AND THE CAR WAS UN-DRIVABLE LEAVING US STRANDED IN GEORGIA. THIS IS A DESIGN ISSUE FOR THE 4.0T ENGINES AND VW/AUDI HAS REFUSED TO IMPLEMENT A FIX BESIDE THE OIL SCREEN BAND-AID. THE OIL SCREEN, SINCE IT IS NOT SERVICEABLE, WILL SLOWLY ACCUMULATE DEBRIS AND RESTRICT OIL FLOW TO THE TURBOS AND CAUSE THEM TO BE STARVED OF OIL. SIMPLY REMOVING THIS OIL SCREEN WOULD BE A SUITABLE FIX BUT AUDI HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR DESIGN IS FAULTY. THIS FAILURE COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THEY WERE TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL AT SPEED OR WORSE, HAVE THE ENGINE IGNITE DO TO THE MENTAL ON METAL GRINDING...

TURBO WHEEL SHEARED OFF THE SHAFT AND STALLED THE CAR WHILE DRIVING AT < 5MPH IN PARKING LOT. UNABLE TO THEN START CAR AND MOVE IT - NEEDED TO BE PUSHED TO ONE SIDE TO AWAIT THE TOW TRUCK. THERE WERE NO SYMPTOMS OR WARNINGS OR CEL PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED SAME FAILURE AT HIGHER SPEEDS OR EVEN ON HIGHWAYS. THIS FAILURE MODE IS DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. AUDI SHOULD BE PERFORMING A RECALL ON THIS FOR ALL THE VEHICLES THEY INSTALL THIS ENGINE MODEL INTO. I WAS ONLY RECENTLY MADE AWARE OF THE ABILITY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE HERE, HENCE THE DELAY IN MY DOING SO.
