I have a 2008 Audi A4 Quattro. I bought it in July of 2014, in November it started to die after being parked overnight. I replaced the battery and it was fine for a about a month. In January it started to die again so I brought it to a local garage and got the alternator replaced. It started to die AGAIN and they suggested I get another new battery where the old alternator was bad. That worked for about 2 months and ever since then it's been dying again, however now it can be shut off for a few hours and die. Our local garage doesn't have the correct equipment to diagnose the problem. Since then I've been disconnecting the negative battery terminal so I'm able to drive it. That was fine until I saved money to bring it to a shop that specializes in foreign cars. Lately every time I try to accelerate over 60mph it won't unless I let off the gas and press it again. The rpms fluctuate aggressively. The other night on my way home from work it started tweaking out my brake light was on, my ABS light and my ESP light. The key has also been stuck in the ignition since September, the car goes into park but it doesn't register that it's in park. I'm just wondering what it could be and how much roughly it's gonna be to fix???

Too many possible problems here - I'd suggest you let us know where you are located and perhaps a member close to your location can run a quick diagnostic scan with VCDS to determine what fault codes are in existence. With that info collected, people may have a better ideas as to what the causes of your problems may be.

You don't think a key in an ignition might be a contributing problem?

the key got stuck AFTER the all other problems, obviously if i could take the key out of the ignition i would.

It was the brake light switch, very inexpensive fix.
