This is my second time contacting you in reg. this vehicle, it was previously in the shop for the same repairs the engine was replaced and the coolant system was fixed, now it has been about two mo and again it is having issues with the coolant system and now transmission issues, I also just found out that this vehicle was in a accident in 2014, in which I was told t had not been, so I am currently reaching out to the Audi dealership trying to receive previous service history done to vehicle Oasis report. I feel this vehicle is a safety hazard, I am a single mom and grandmother and I do not feel safe in this vehicle and wish I was informed of previous accident. In the time I have had the vehicle it has spent over 30 days in the shop and now its back in there.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I GET AN 'ALTERNATOR FAILURE - BATTERY MIGHT NOT BE CHARGING' WARMING, FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES SUPER STIFF, CAN'T ACCELERATE, I ALMOST HIT A CAR NEXT TO ME WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND PARK IN A SAFE PLACE! LUCKILY WAS A 35 MPH ZONE, IN THE HIGHWAY WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY DANGEROUS! I TOWED TO A SHOP AND YES, IS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR SHOULD GIVE AN EARLIER WARNING AND DEFINITELY NOT SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING!
