faulty comfort control wiring and parking break malfunction

I recently had an events that scared the crap out of me with my 2012 A6 quattro. I was driving at hwy speed 65 mph and suddenly the parking brake came on along with the TPS sensor and steering malfunction indicater lights. Thankfully I could pull to the shoulder of the road safely . I turned off the car and checked around the exterior for a flat tire or anything but could not find any problem. Once I calmed down i started the car up and all the warning lights disappeared and I could drive again. The next day I made time to drive to my local Audi dealer and on the way the car died and would not start. All the warning lights again appeared but could start. I called AA and had the car towed to the dealer. After several days now they discovered there was a faulty wire at the comfort control module. We got it fixed and the car seems to be fine. I'm writing a letter to Audi USA headquarters in hopes this doesn't happen to anyone else while driving at hwy speed. Things could have turned out really bad ;-(
