While driving at night there was a flash flood on a known flood road. After proceeding through what was maybe 6"-12" of water, vehicle's amber steering defective warning light appeared with the notification stating that the vehicle was safe to drive. The next day while driving, the amber steering defective light turned red with a notification stating not to drive the vehicle. Upon this happening, the vehicle lost all power steering, TPMS fault, stabilization fault, and acc braking guard fault appeared. Thankfully, I was not driving to work that morning and was going less than 30mph rather than 70mph. Audi service advisor states that there isn't a way that this was caused due to water damage. I disagree. I believe water entered the steering module (even though this is supposed to be a sealed unit) and caused an electrical short to the module. Due to the fact that the service advisor relayed his supposed findings to the insurance adjuster. I am currently liable for the repairs on the vehicle.

Exhibits an alarming tendency to weave from side to side without a steering input. This occurs without a change in steering wheel position, vehicle speed, or change in road surface or prevailing wind direction. It is more pronounced at highway speeds and when wheel is centered at 12 O'clock but does occur at all speeds and steering vectors. Audi dealership notes the problem and blames the new electric steering system but states it is a "characteristic" of the system and is not a defect. I disagree and feel any direction change in a vehicle without a driver input or a explainable external factor constitutes a potential safety issue.
