The contact owns a 2014 Audi Q7. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH, there was an abnormal beeping sound coming from the warning light on the instrument panel. The message "Low Coolant" was displayed. In addition, the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to move over to the side of the road. The contact raised the hood and refilled the coolant reservoir. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was included in the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal several years ago, and the vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact related the failure to the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), where the valve recirculates exhaust gas to lower combustion temperatures and reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions.

My family and I were driving about 55mph and the glow plug warning light started flashing and the vehicle stalled after a mile or so. The dealer said that the fuel was contaminated and that the whole fuel system had to be replaced and was going to cost more than $11000. The service guy said the dealer was paying for it because they are good guys, boloni. We could have had an accident and died because it was at night on a 2 way road and barely no room on the side of the road. I say from everywhere I've read it is a faulty hpfp. Car only has 65000 miles too.

I was driving on the highway at 55-75 miles per hour. I saw an orange indicator light for the 'glow plug system' appear, with no previous warning. I continued to drive for several minutes, but felt a loss of power. The accelerator when depressed did not respond with power. I was in the left lane of traffic which slowed down to a standstill, but when traffic picked up, my car stalled and stopped completely. I tried to restart the engine unsuccessfully. I was stuck in the left lane of traffic and blocking oncoming traffic at high speeds. It was very dangerous and I had two children in the car. I called 911 and the highway patrol had to stop all lanes of the traffic to push me to the highway shoulder. We called audi care and even the police urged them to send a tow truck immediately, they gave me a 60-90 min window, which they then pushed up to 30 minutes, after already being on a call with them for 30 minutes. Ultimately, the police flagged down a aaa to send me a tow truck since I also had aaa. The audi dealer said this was a known problem of the fuel pump going bad and sending metal shavings into the diesel fuel system, which they replaced completely under the audi manufacturer's warranty with no charge to me, but it was a potentially fatal incident as it occurred on a high speed los angeles freeway with no warning.

The vw/audi diesel "fix" is not working as promised and the vehicles equipped with this "fix" may cause a safety risk to the public. 2 hours after picking up my audi q7 3.0 tdi from the dealer, my wife was driving the car to pick up easter supplies with my 2 young kids and while pulling out of bj's wholesale store onto a 4 lane highway the cars engine suddenly died. The car was stalled and left unresponsive and she almost got struck by and large truck. Lucky nobody was injured this time but this diesel "fix" has muffled these engines reducing torque and causes them to stall at low RPM's. The dealers blame vw/audi and audi blames the dealers. I'm not sure when someone will take responsibility but I hope it's before someone dies!!!!!!!

Car periodically stalls on accelerating from a stop, even though engine is up to normal operating temperature. Car will get to approx 10-15 MPH, then stall, with a complete loss of power. Must push gas pedal all the way to the floor to overcome the stall, then the car leaps forward, spinning the tires. This has happened several times in the past few weeks. Am very concerned whenever I start up at an intersection, as I don't know when this situation will occur. I think this is a safety issue which should be corrected.
