THE CRANKSHAFT BROKE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT CONSTANT SPEED. THE INCIDENT IMMEDIATELY DISABLED THE CAR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR HAZARD HAD THIS NOT BEEN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AS I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE CLUTCH AND COAST TO A SAFE LOCATION. HAD IT NOT BEEN AN AUTOMATIC THE CAR WOULD HAVE QUICKLY COMING TO A STOP IN MODERATE TRAFFIC CREATING A SIGNIFICANT HAZARD. PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS OF THIS CAR HAVE HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE, BUT THIS YEAR WAS NOT INCLUDED THIS IS A MANUAL CAR, THAT STILL HAS IT'S ORIGINAL CLUTCH AND THE CAR HAS MET ALL MANUFACTURERS MAINTENANCE. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR HAS BEEN PERFORMED BY AN DEALER. CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURING OR ENGINEERING DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY AUDI.
