My wife was driving our Audi e-tron and after several minutes driving she got she got very large red alert that said "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: MALFUNCTION! - SAFELY STOP VEHICLE". She immediately pulled over to the side of the road into a parking lot just before the electric motors shut down completely. This put my wife in an extremely dangerous situation, and we consider her to be very lucky that she was not on a highway or in the middle of an intersection when this happened. The car became COMPLETELY immobile, just dead. We towed the vehicle to the…

Complete brake loss. Complete system failure. Driving on county road, braking light alerts came on indicating brake malfunction. Went to brake, no breaking engagement, alert messages on most electrical components including braking, suspension, drivetrain went off. Most every light on the dash sent alarms. Car would not stop with brakes, nor use of electric gear paddles. Pulled off to shoulder and coasted down the road until stopped.

The Etron is an EV. At approximately 63,000 miles, I received an alert stating electric failure and move immediately off the road. I took it to Audi and apparently the front electric motor flooded. After it was repaired, I drove the car another 2500 miles and received an alert stating electric failure and get off the road. Apparently, this may be related to a bad battery module. Both times the incident occurred on the freeway. My car is still in the shop.
