AUDI A8 2011 - ISSUE REGARDING ON/OFF SWITCH WE HAVE A NEW A8. THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS NEXT TO THE GEAR SHIFT LEVEL ON THE CONSOLE BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. OUR DOG - A 16 LB BICHON - CLIMBED BETWEEN THE SEATS FROM THE BACK TO SIT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. AS THE DOG CROSSED THE CENTER CONSOLE HE STEPPED ON THE ON/OFF BUTTON SHUTTING OFF THE CAR WHICH CAUSED A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS SHE WAS ON A LOCAL ROAD AND NOT GOING FAST BUT IF SHE HAD BEEN TRYING TO TURN OR IF SHE HAD BEEN ON A ROAD WITH A HIGHER SPEED LIMIT THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A CRASH. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AND THE ON/OFF SWITCH SHOULD NOT BE OPERABLE WHILE IN DRIVE - ONLY IN NEUTRAL OR PARK. THIS MAY IMPACT OTHER AUDI CARS AS WELL. *TR
