2014 Audi A4 Electrical System Problems

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I GET AN 'ALTERNATOR FAILURE - BATTERY MIGHT NOT BE CHARGING' WARMING, FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR ALMOST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES SUPER STIFF, CAN'T ACCELERATE, I ALMOST HIT A CAR NEXT TO ME WHILE TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD AND PARK IN A SAFE PLACE! LUCKILY WAS A 35 MPH ZONE, IN THE HIGHWAY WOULD HAVE BEEN REALLY DANGEROUS! I TOWED TO A SHOP AND YES, IS THE ALTERNATOR. THE CAR SHOULD GIVE AN EARLIER WARNING AND DEFINITELY NOT SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING!

I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL AND NOW MY ENGINE IS BAD. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR DISCONNECTING ELECTRIC COOLANT PUMP. I CALLED TWO DEALERS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY PARTS AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE STATES "UNTIL THE RECALL WORK IS DONE, YOU SHOULD PARK OUTDOORS AS A PRECAUTION IN CASE OF A VEHICLE FIRE DUE TO THE SAFETY DEFECT". I WAS TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY PARTS IN. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE IF MY CAR COULD CATCH ON FIRE. WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS??

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 AUDI A4. THE CONTACT ATTEMPT TO HONK THE HORN BUT IT FAILED TO ACTIVATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT IF THE ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING, THE HORN WOULD NOT SOUND. THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO ALTER THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 09/05/14*LJ
