I was driving on the highway at highway speeds when the engine suddenly started to misfire with a partial loss of power making the car difficult to steer.  At that time the check engine light was not illuminated.  I was able to get off the highway and drive home about 2 miles away from when the misfires first occurred.  The police did not get involved as I was able to return home.  The following week the car was towed to my mechanic where it was diagnosed that cylinder 3 had a problem. At that time the check engine light illuminated.  He recommended that I tow my car to the Audi dealership as they have better availability of parts.  The dealer took apart the engine and diagnosed a broken piston ring which destroyed many other parts of the engine. The engine had to be replaced with a new one from the factory.   Audi should be held accountable for catastrophic engine failures that may result in injury to others due to poor engine design.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2013","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"A4","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
