UNKNOWN OR OTHER

was driving at approximately 30 mph when the car made a "clunk" sound and i lost any ability to control the vehicle. i pressed the accelerator and nothing happened. the steering wheel completely locked and i had no ability to turn the wheel. i coasted down a hill and the wheel unlocked, but i had no power steering and still no ability to accelerate. i was able to get the car into a parking lot and had it towed to the tucson arizona audi dealer. they have yet to figure out what the problem was. they replaced the fuel pump twice and tried to run the vehicle but can't keep it running for more than 2 minutes. the car keeps "seizing" up is what the service shop tells me. they still can't fix it and the car only has just over 5,000 miles on it.
