I CRAWLED THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GAS PEDAL AND BREAKS NOT WORKING, PULLING THE EMERGENCY PARK BUTTON TO STOP THE CAR. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT TO AUDI SERVICE IN FAIRFIELD CT FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NOTHING. EARLY NOVEMBER 2020 THIS HAS HAPPEN YET AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STOP LIGHT BUT THIS TIME THE WHOLE ENGINE/CAR DIED WITH THE IGNITION FOR 2 MINUTES. WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, I CONTINUED TO START THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT STARTS. UNFORTUNATELY, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR AND AUDI SERVICES ARE NOT HELPING/CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. IT NOW HAS HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES. WILL I BE DEAD NEXT TIME IS WHAT GOES THROUGH MY MIND.
