What owners wrote
While driving down the expressway in chicago, transmission, and all safety features completely shut off. Pressing on accelerator had no effect, and with limited steering was able to pull to roadside barely missing high-speed traffic. Expressway roadside is narrow, so was nearly hit by many cars while waiting for tow service. Car would not restart and with full electronic transmission, no ability to put into neutral. Audi roadside assistance did not provide timely tow service. Extremely dangerous and unsafe.
The mil light is on, previous owner returned the car in 8 months, when I bought the car they told me the engine was replaced with another new engine and it's all set, yet after one months of buying the 10k miles car the mil light came on???
