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. On a following day it did the same thing, loss of power, shaking, not working right. Sometimes it seemed just fine other times it had problems. I took it to a shop to have diagnosis and they discovered water in the engine computer connector and traced it to a cooling valve leak that allows water in the connector at the valve to enter the 2 wire connector and apparently the water wicks up the control wire to the computer connector and shorts out connections to coils and other engine electronics. I searched the web for information and discovered that this is the same issue that has affected 2010 - 2013 Audi A8 and the car was recalled. See 16V619000. I'm wondering why my 2013 A5 that had the exact same problem was not recalled. I have picture of the engine computer showing water that was in the connector and pin 35 is green. The 2 wire connector was removed from the valve and has issues, it is connected to pin 35 of the ECM

My A5 coupe was affected recall 17V622. I booked an appointment months ago with silver spring Audi. That appointment was cancelled due to the dealership not having the parts to address the recall. I've called multiple times to try to reschedule but the parts remain unavailable. 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.)

I have just become aware, on my own Accord, that the used 2013 Audi A5 I purchased has a safety recall issued October of this year. I need to be advised on what course of action needs to be taken from this point. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
