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.

I was driving on the freeway all of the sudden the dashboard has all lights up, I stepped out of the Vehicle to see what was going on and I starter to smell like a burning electric component, I went into the battery to disconnect and the Negative terminal was SUPER HOT to the point it burned my hand. I took it to the dealer and they said it's the starter, I looked into forums and there's hundreds of people with the same issue. I looked for an open bolting or recall and it just mentions 2018 and my car 2017 has the same engine same chassis
