Consumer Description

My EPC light has been coming on and off for months now. We've had it in to multiple mechanics. All of them replacing different components. The light goes off and we drive it for a few days. Then it comes on randomly and we lose power to the vehicle and have to quickly pull off the road. This has happened TWICE while on the expressway in BUSY traffic with my children in the back. And its happened countless times on county roads and side roads. We've had the Accelerator Peddle replaced, the Throttle Body, new Spark Plugs..... the list goes on. I decided to do some digging online and found a MASSIVE forum of VW, Audi owners with this same exact problem. And they are ALL explaining the dangers. I am shocked this isn't on a Recall List. The EPC issue needs to be taken care of by the manufacturer. I've included a link to that forum so you can see for yourself! https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t23523_ds493841
