| Electrical System problems |
On this particular day, my husband was driving my car and he only got 2 blocks in our neighborhood before the car began to fill with smoke. He quickly got out of the vehicle and within minutes the car caught on fire! the fire started inside the car near the right wheel base. I have 3 young children all in car seats and I shudder just thinking about what could have happened if we were in the car instead of only my husband. The fire truck arrived shortly after and put the fire out causing massive water damage. However, the smoke and fire completely destroyed the inside of the vehicle and there were portions of the back seat, side panel, and roof that were melted. The official fire report said the fire was caused by an electrical issue inside the vehicle above the right tire. It is nothing but the grace of god that allowed my entire family to walk away from this incident unharmed. However, I am concerned that a 2013 Audi would catch on fire, I expected a safer and more quality product, especially with my children in the car.
Multiple warning lights come on at the same time including transmission, engine, abs, esp, air bag and tpms, while these lights are on vehicle hesitates and looses complete power, this condition happened in the middle of the highway and almost caused an accident, had to tow the vahicle home and eventually to my local Audi dealership. I found on line technical bulletin sb-10053894-9766 which describes the exact sympthoms my vehicle is having, I strogly believe this should be a recall rather then a TSB.
