I was recently in a accident due to my Audi losing all car power the power steering wouldn't work nor did the breaks which resulted in me crashing into another vehicle. Once the car was parked on the side of the road a few mins later I started the car and started up just fine. Which this has happened 2 other times before the accident as well

Do you drive a 2000 AUDI A6?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
