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
