The sunroof on my 2019 Audi A8 spontaneously exploded around 445 pm on Friday, April 7, 2023. The car was traveling around 55 mph and the sunroof just exploded out. The sunscreen was closed at the time. It was not hit by a rock or a tree limb or any other item. It just exploded. Sounded like a gunshot when the car was brought to a stop, there was a large hole in the sunroof and glass scattered all around the hole.
Message appeared on display Jan 7 2023: "electrical system: malfunction! please contact service" the trunk lid opened while I was driving, the a/c quit (I am in key west!), the auto start/stop quit. I had heard of many other Audi owners whose car just quit, so I scooted home and parked. I had it towed to coral gables FL at my expense, and the dealer told me it was an alternator problem that needed to be replaced. None available in the us, could be months before it's repaired. Car is 2019 Audi A8 with 42,000 miles.
Inadvertent acceleration. Car a against wall at low speed (est. 3 mph). Was unfamiliar with behavior of stop-start feature. Engine was stopped, but vehicle ignition was not turned off. Driver did not anticipate restart of vehicle when lifting foot off of brake. Minor damage to vehicle front end.
