The just quit while driving on the road with no warning or any error codes/messages. Spent $500 to tow the car to Audi dealer 70 miles away. The Gateway Module failed due to water contamination. This was a known failure item and Audi had issued a recall on it. I had scheduled a service appointment to do the recall, but the module failed prior to the appointment. The part had to be ordered from Germany and it took 5 weeks to get my car back. The dealership did provide a loaner and charged nothing for the repair, but it still cost me $500 in towing fees and the aggravation of being stranded at 10 pm.
This is an issue that Audi has to get fixed. If they have a solution, they need to tell their customers, and if not, they need to tell their dealers to stop selling those vehicles until they can come up with a solution. I just bought the car and haven't made the first payment yet.
