I was driving my car and had just crossed a track, when out of no where with no warning my car stopped. My wheel started tightening and I couldn't press on the brakes. Thanks goodness I didnt have a car behind me because the car just lost all power. I couldn't even steer the car to the side of the road. Try to restart the vehicle because I was dumb minded to what was going on, but the car would not restart. I had to call a wrecker to come get me and the car. Now picture me, a woman alone, in the road at10:30 at night, waiting for a wrecker to come get my beautiful, luxury car with just 69,000 miles and regular maintenance up keep. I towed the car to an audi dealership to find out that the turbos went out on the car and warranty want cover this $11,071 bill. Purchased this car at 39,000 miles and paid a pretty penny, still owe a pretty penny on this vehicle and now I have to pay this huge repair bill on top of a huge car note. Btw, car still at shop, still not running unless the turbos are replace. This is not even the engine on the car and it cost this expensive.

2014 audi a8 vehicle has 57534 miles on it, a well maintained vehicle by audi dealerships. When passing a vehicle on a 2 lane hwy the performance seemed to be compromised. Heard a gurgling like sound. The epc light came on. Pulled vehicle over to a safe location and vehicle would not restart. Dealership diagnosed turbo's blown and engine contains metal causing total engine failure. Our concern is if the engine would have seized up when passing another vehicle there is a real possibility that an accident could occur. There are a few technical service bulletins concerning this turbo issue, one in february 2017 and a production solution to the oil supply lines came in may 2018. What about all the vehicles that are out there still on the roads not under warranty and owners have no idea this issue exists? It seems to be a problem with the 4.0l engines. Turbo's. "audizine" website did a forum poll titled 4.0tt blown turbo poll. There is also a issue with coolant leakage on the turbo's that can cause damage per technical service bulletin may 2017. I am hoping for a recall before an injury occurs.
