- I was driving home and the check engine light went on saying hybrid system failure. - then as I was almost home, I was driving down a very steep driveway, and the breaks started skipping (foot slammed on breaks and car finally stopped after about 20 feet). - the engine warning then read "hybrid system, power steering, and transmission system failure" flashing in red (along with other systems failures) and the car was unable to drive. - scared for my life, I put car in park and had it towed to audi of bellevue - they said "a coolant valve in the back of the engine slowly leaked coolant over time, leaking over the entire electrical harness and wicked up into the control module." - the service tech said "this IS a known issue" that they have since redesigned - thus indicating them knowing that this IS an issue - audi issued a recall on this for the A8 models for "coolant leaking through coolant wire connection, causing coolant migration into the engine control module. If this happens it can cause a short circuit or possibly even a stall without warning, stalling can lead to a vehicle crash." - audi recall code: 80B9 - since my car IS a Q5 it IS not covered under this particular recall, but it IS the exact same issue and caused my breaks to malfunction and car to stall. the consumer stated the vehicle manufacturer offered a 25%.
