This issue happens when the car is stopped and the auto stop/start feature has stopped the engine. Most commonly at a stop light at a major city intersection, where the lights are longer. When the system attempts to restart the engine, it rough idles and then the drive system shuts down the engine, causing you too lose all power. This leaves you stranded, and risks causing someone to rear-end your vehicle if the light changes. Putting the car in park, turning off the ignition, and then turning the ignition back on resumes engine function. This has happened multiple times. So far the service center has been unable to identify the root cause.

My 6 week old Audi A6 was totaled when I was driving 20 mph! I looked down to check my odometer, and within that time, no warning signals, brakes, etc. Alerted me! this car had all the bells and whistles! that morning I was on a tree lined drive to the tennis courts! no alerts! hit a tree and all air bags deployed! tremendous impact for 20 mph! I was all banged up, car totaled! I am still in disbelief...thought I had the world's safest car. Has anyone else had a problem"?"
