2 Engine Shut Off Without Warning problem of the 2015 Audi A3

Failure Date: 06/06/2017

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.
