When driving in town the car abruptly stopped running, steering and brakes failed. Caused by both turbochargers going out at the same time. 36,000 miles a few months out of warranty. Apparently this is known issue with the audi's and audi has not issued a recall or anything according to the audi dealer. $11,000 repair. Very scary when power lost and remained off.
