New question, and an update

First an update. My new (to me) 2SS with 17,500 miles had the dreaded A8 transmission shudder. Sounded like I was driving over rumble strips and also jerking and shifting sort of erratically. Took it to the dealership for the triple flush this morning and it is night and day. Sooooo much better. I LOVE this car!!! I hope that is the last I have of that issue. (Although I have read it will return). Fingers crossed.

Onto my new issue. It has only happened one time in the month I have owned it and it was actually when I was on the way to the dealership earlier this morning to get my transmission serviced. I was at a light and just as the light turned green, all of my electronics shut off for about 2 seconds. Instrument cluster, radio, everything. Then came right back on. The car did not die, it kept running. But it freaked me out. Anybody ever experience this? I asked the dude at the dealership about it and he just shrugged and said he had no idea, lol. So, I guess if it never happens again, I'll just forget it ever happened. It was very strange and disconcerting though.

Yup, and the techs have next to no ability to trouble shoot those issues
