Why does my Audi A8 shut off randomly while driving?

I've experienced several instances where my Audi A8 will shut off while I am driving. The dashboard lights will turn off and then the engine shuts off, causing me to lose control of the steering wheel and brakes. The car starts back up after a few minutes, but this is a safety concern. Has anyone else experienced this issue and know how to fix it?

From my experience, this is most likely due to a faulty alternator or battery. I had a similar issue and had to get my alternator replaced. I would recommend taking it to a specialized mechanic to get it checked out.

I have not experienced this issue with my Audi A8, but it could be a problem with the fuel pump or other electrical components. You should definitely get it checked out by a professional as soon as possible for safety reasons.

I actually had a similar issue with my A8 and it turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. It was a relatively easy fix and my car hasn't shut off while driving since. I would recommend checking that first.
