2014 Audi A7

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN STEERING WHEEL STOPS WORKING GETS SO STIFF THE ELECTRICAL STEERING WHEEL COLUM COMPONET STOPS WORKING.JUST ABOUT CRASHED. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE IN FREEWAY. TPS LIGHTS GOES ON. PAYED ALL THE DIAGNOISES AND SAYS WEEKS TO ORDER THE PART. SAYS DON'T DRIVE. RED WARNING LIGHT. DID 3 DIAGNOSIS AND ITS THE CPU COMPONET THAT CONTROLS THE DASHBOARD AND FLIP SCREEN REAR TAIL THAT SHOULD RAISE AT 75 I BELIEVE YOU HAVE TO CLICK THE BUTTON TO ACTIVATE IF THE CAR LETS YOU. NO SCREEN ON FLIP SCREEN WENT OUT WHEN DRIVING WITH GPS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM. THE TRACTION ON THE CAR IS OFF . AUDI SAYS 8,000 DOLLARS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL COMPONET THEY SAY VERY HARD AND EXPENSIVE TO FIX.

THE VEHICLE COLLAPSED WHILE USING THE VEHICLE JACK TO RAISE THE CAR TO REMOVE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. THE JACK WAS INSERTED INTO THE PLASTIC JACK SADDLE LOCATED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROCKER PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS RAISED APPROXIMATELY 4 INCHES, THE WHEEL WAS REMOVED, AND THE JACK SADDLE BROKE AND DISLODGED FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY AND ABRUPTLY FALL TO THE GROUND. THE DRIVER'S SIDE ROCKER PANEL, FRONT FENDER, DOOR, AND FRONT STABILIZERS WERE DAMAGED. ADDITIONALLY, I COULD HAVE BEEN CRUSHED HAD I BEEN UNDER THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT INSIDE A FINISHED RESIDENTIAL GARAGE WITH A FLAT CONCRETE FLOOR. THE INCIDENT WAS REPORTED TO AUDI OF PENSACOLA AND AUDI OF AMERICA FOR REVIEW. NEITHER ACCEPTED ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MALFUNCTION OR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND ADVISED ME TO SIMPLY REPORT IT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY FOR REPAIR REIMBURSEMENT.
