A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
Got the car brand new from the dealer in April 2014. First full warrant check up of the car was done in Feb 2015 and car was reported as good and healthy.
On 22nd May 2015 (yesterday), with slight more than 20,000 mileage on the car, I was driving down slope on a rainy day. All of a sudden, every electrical devices failed including the engine quitting itself. I didn't have time to pull over as I was above to stop in front of a red light. When the car came to a complete stop, I shifted gear to P-gear and foot on the brake, attempted to re-ignite the engine but unable. Not even the hazard light could be switched on. All the emergency gear was in the trunk and because battery went dead, I wasn't even able to open the boot. Had to call for toll straight away.
Hopefully will hear from Audi maintenance soon for a diagnosis.
