Owner Narrative

5 TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS THE "GLOW PLUG" INDICATOR LIGHT HAS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. TWICE THE CAR COMPLETELY BROKE DOWN, TWICE AUDI COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ERROR CODE, THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR FROM AUDI AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED. THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WENT INTO "LIMP MODE" WHERE I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER AS I WAS GETTING ON THE FREEWAY, ALMOST GOT HIT AS I COULDN'T ACCELERATE PAST 35 MPH.
