Check engine/ epc- both lights have signaled a dozen times. The first few times the dealership called them "misfires". Eventually the car "symptoms" started to progress: when car is idling, car starts to act like it is about to stall. Then it progressed to hard/jerky shifts into 1st or 2nd gear. Now even at higher speeds it starts acting up- giving the feeling that the car may stall. This is a daily issue. Twice now car has failed to accelerate while entering highway. The worst situation occurred when car was bucking and refusing to go into 2nd gear. I had to pull over, on the on-ramp, turn off car and restart. Dash lights fade light/dark constantly. Originally I thought it was an automatic feature, going from day to night time lights. Like everything else it has increased w/ frequency & cannot be connected to change day/night light setting change. Key fob died while I was driving on highway, car stalled on highway. I restarted car using emergency procedure (aligning key fob next to key symbol on drive shaft)- this is meant to keep car running even w/ dead key battery. Car shut off multiple times waiting for tow truck- who then loaded my car while running because it stalled on him too. Did I mention the 4 days prior my car had been at the dealership - so either warning sign didn't correctly notify or they just ignored it. Fixed ignition coil, spark plugs current dealership diagnostic: fault to bad injector somehow none of the recalls that apply to 2015 a3s apply to my vehicle. Even though most of the decriptions apply to car issues.
My audi car hasnt been running well. I went to my dealership and no sense of urgency regarding this matter, was told they will call me when they have it but "I should be fine". I left my car at the dealership for an oil change 11.11.16 but doesnt fix the recall "saftey recall 20y5 suction pump" . This recall not getting fixed is putting my safety at risk.
Total loss of power while car was in motion. Unable to restart.
