Description of the problem	This past sunday, my audi self-accelerated in busy traffic. Only because i drive a manual was i able to prevent an accident. I had the car towed from sacramento ca to audi oakland. They diagnosed it saying the piston blew threw the engine, depressurizing the engine. They claim the don't know why and have failed to contact me since. I had to contact audi usa which hasn't been responsive. This was a catastrophic engine failure while i was driving three boys. Nonetheless, audi oakland--and i had to call them!--just told me its my problem and i need to pay $16k for a new engine. They told me this is an odd occurrence and since there's no warranty, its not their problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
