Engine Shut Off Without Warning Problems of Audi Q3

While driving on roadway yesterday (10/29/2020) the vehicles engine and electrical system completely shut down without warning. Power steering went out. Was able to drift to side of road and restart. Went home and had car towed to valenti Audi, who determined there is a technical service bulletin for software update. Not a recall! researched this on the internet and others have reported similar issues. This vehicle is dangerous! TSB printout is in vehicle and will be returned to me at salisbury CT. However, NHTSA must issue a recall on this.

The car had automatically shut off several times. This past time (which is why I'm reporting it) I was driving to my office that is less than 1. 5 miles from house and I was going through a 4 way intersection and the car completed shut off, steering wheel locked , brake and accelerator pedals locked. It took several minutes for me to get the car started again. And I almost got hit from oncoming vehicles. It is a brand new car with 6,000 miles on it. I had it towed to Audi dealership because I was not comfortable driving the vehicle. I was informed later that day by Audi that it is a known issue with the car but they will not have the part to fix it for 2 months. They state Audi said it's not a safety issue. If your car shuts off randomly and your on the highway or a busy intersection and almost get hit that's a safety issue. I was informed to turn the start stop feature off and the car will be fine to drive until the part is available. I informed Audi I had that feature turned off when it occurred. That aside what if I got in the car and forgot to turn that feature off and it happened agains and this time I get hit and injured. Or one of my children drive the car and don't turn that feature off and it happens to them. You shouldn't spend that kind of money on a vehicle and have to worry about turning off features that are equipped in the car because the malfunction. All I asked for was a loaner until the part to fix a known issue that Audi acknowledges was available. I'm not comfortable driving the vehicle and my families safety is at risk. The fact that Audi hadn't made it a recall or says it's not a safety issue is unbelievable.
