I said “it’s fine, those are just the worst stories”… 5 mins later the car’s throwing errors all over the place and dash lights up like a Christmas tree. Then the car dies on us in a busy road (very dangerous). Managed to get it started and safely to a friends house. Called roadside and told up to 6 hours for a tow. 2.5 hours later got towed to dealer. Will talk to them in the morning. Moral of the story..1. Don’t test drive Mercedes 2. As soon as you get this warning, pull over somewhere safe and get it towed. I absolutely love my Q8 and hope she comes back to life soon. BTW Audi way better than Mercedes IMHO

Update today. Talked to dealer and was told known issue hence the Alternator warranty extension. They have 4 other Q8s with same problem, plus host of other Audi's that share the same alternator. Part is on back order so "will be a while". I have it scheduled for fuel pump recall replacement in two weeks so they will combine both jobs. No courtesy cars available, but they are providing rental today.

First of all, this is reflected in a number of options that are not available for my country, for example, online services do not work completely and cannot be activated.
And when I emailed the audi general representation in Germany, they answered literally like this: "As per your confirmation, since your country of residence is Ukraine, our support channel is unfortunately not able to handle queries of your sales region. We kindly ask you to contact the customer care department in your country."
