Description of the problem	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.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
