| Description of the problem | Our audi q5 just last night fri. 1. 27. 17 at 10pm lost power and within 30 seconds complete stop and stall. I was traveling with my wife and 4 yr. Old son on our way home on 210 fwy and 57 interchange within seconds we are stuck right in the middle of a 4 lane highway with cars and big rigs zoom by us and swerving around us. We could do nothing except sit in the car as we see a car heading right for us and brace for the collision. Thank god we walked away with our lives and only whiplash and not killed leaving my 8yr old daughter all alone. The car as towed away and taken to a body shop for now. Car maybe totaled unsure as of yet. Also man at the body shop read the car codes which one was the fuel pressure regulator error code. This was an extremely traumatic experience for my myself, wife and child. We are going to audi and report this to them on monday. This seems to be the same issue others reported in past and to the nhtsa here is a report of a crash that maybe from the same reports as others. |
