While driving with my children, my Audi suffered a sudden, complete electrical failure caused by what I was later told is an alternator defect. The vehicle shut off without warning. At that moment, I lost braking power, the ability to shift into neutral, and full control of the vehicle\u2019s speed.  Because of this defect, I was unable to slow or stop the car safely  putting myself, my passengers, and others on the road at serious risk. I request that NHTSA investigate whether this alternator issue constitutes a recall-worthy safety defect under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2020","productMake":"AUDI","productModel":"Q8","manufacturer":"Volkswagen Group of America, Inc."}]}]}
