Description of the problem | Traveling on the freeway at 60mph. The esp(stability control) and epc lights came on. 5 seconds later the engine shuts off and i keep rolling at 60mph but decreasing speed. Luckily i was on a straight away and there was no need to turn but once the engine turned off the steering wheel was hard to turn and i could not pull over. There was an exit and i was able to stop on the off ramp. After putting the vehicle in park. I took the key out then, put it back on the ignition and tried to turn the vehicle on. The vehicle would not turn back on. When it finally turned on the vehicle stalled back off and the "check engine" light came on. After sitting in the vehicle for 5min in off. I then turned the vehicle on and it started off. I went to the dealership and told them what had happen they told me that it had never happened before with other audi's but that it sounded like it was the crank shaft sensor. After looking online and doing research many other audi owners had the same problem they stated that the "engine speed sensor" aka crankshaft sensor would go out and their engine would stall while driving. This is a safety issue! Airbags go off when the engine shuts off and the steering wheel is hard to be turned. Please do something about it! |
