I acquired this car (2.0T) two nights ago and on three occasions (so far) the engine completely stalls when the car comes to a stop. Not the typical auto on/off feature function. I have to restart the ignition and put the car in drive again. Once, even in the middle of rush hour traffic. So far, the only consistent scenario is when I am on the second leg of a trip. For example, I get in the car at my office, drive to a store or daycare. Get back in the car, start up, drive a couple of miles and the car shuts down at a complete stop. Very unnerving on a brand new car with less than 200 miles on it. I've looked across the internet and it seems to be quite a widespread issue for VW and Audi drivers of recent model cars. This is a safety concern and needs to be addressed.

I purchased anew Audi A6 on Sep 11, 2019. In the first 2 weeks, five different times, the "start stop system" failed to work properly. I would be stopped and when I tried to start again the engine would die. In order to start the car back up, I had to put the car in park and restart using the start button. This resulted in an unsafe condition. The first time, I was on a steep incline and the car started to roll backwards. Another time a fire truck was trying to get through on a two lane road and I could not get the car started back up to pull further over on the road. The car has been to service twice. They could not find the problem. The service department kept and drove the car but this start stop issue did not occur again. I have been driving the car some for the last two weeks and have not had this problem occur again.

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"?"
