There is an intermittent sudden, and brief loss of acceleration from a complete stop. This has happen twice. The car has been driven less than 2,000. One time the power loss was from a traffic light. I started to move, there was a pause and quickly the power returned. The same behavior happened pulling out of a parking spot into traffic. This occurrence created a dangerous situation. This is an A3 tdi (clean diesel model).
The contact owns a 2010 Audi A3 quattro. While driving at approximately 75 mph, the engine shut off completely.
