2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem of the 2001 Audi TT

Failure Date: 11/10/2005

This car has stalled 3 times this year while driving when all lights went off , motor died , power steering died and I could not maneuver the car anymore. 1. Jan 23,2005 I was driving when the car all of a sudden died. Luckily I was just approaching a stop light so I was able to get to the side of the road safely. I had the car towed . The service told me that it was a bad battery and the car is fine now. 2. Nov 10, 2005 I was driving at night on a windy country road when the same happened this time at a speed of about 50 mph. Lights off, motor died, no steering power, no emergency lights. I do not know how I survived this incident since within a second I didn't know where I was nor where I was going. I ended up in the middle of the road trying to get the car off the street ASAP since I was just behind a sharp curve. I had the car towed the next day. 3. On Dec 3 they called and told me the car is fixed and I can pick it up. I asked if someone could give me a ride to another location where I wanted to drop off the car I came with. The service manager himself took the car to drop it off and while he was driving the same happened to him. The car died in the middle of the street. 4. He called me and told me now itã‚??s the alternator which needs to be replaced. I will pick up the car tomorrow. Itã‚??s fixed. ????????? I do not feel comfortable to drive this car anymore. The same thing happened 3 times of which one time I almost died. Iã‚??m pretty sure that it will happen again and this time I might not survive. The reason why I think that it will happen again? the car had the same issue 3 times, it just died in the middle of driving. The service came up each time with a different explanation. First time the battery, second time ??, third time the alternator. None of them justify that a car dies just like that , while iã‚??m driving. All three times it had rained the days before.
