2013 Audi A5 Electrical system Problems

“Loss of power while driving. I was driving and the car lost power and started shuddering, epc warning light came on and it seemed like it might stall. Since I was driving I pushed in the clutch and coasted to a stop. I shut it off and restarted it and it worked normally so I drove home. I drove it the next day and had no problems.

The dealership, today, tried to discourage me from being added to a wait list for the part given that over 100 people were already on the list. (that discouragement made no sense to me. It seems like everyone affected by the recall who uses that dealership should be on the waiting list without even having to call in.)”
