Description of the problem	This car has shut down while driving (in motion) three times, once while traveling at 45 mph, once at 75 mph on the highway and luckily the last time in a parking lot.. The first time was november 23, 2018. The engine stopped and we were able to drift over to the left shoulder. Thought is was a fluke because the car started up again. The next time driving on the highway it shut down again december 2, very scary. We brought it to audi and the replaced a fuel composition sensor and said it was fixed. After they 'fixed it' and returned the car, it did the exact same thing and the engine shut off while driving in a parking lot. We brought the car back in. Audi says they can't find the problem, but we are concerned the problem still exists and other cars may have this very serious issue. The car has been in the shop a total thus far of 31 days and they called today to tell us to take the car back, but they have not found the problem. I guess they expect us to drive it again until it shuts down again and we get rear-ended and killed.
