After two days of not driving the car, and with weather at about 30 degrees, I started the car today and the lights on the dashboard went nuts. The EPC and stability control lights stayed on, along with the tire inflation warning light. I attempted to drive the car and it had no power and would not go more than 30 mph. I called Audi and had it towed in. I still don't know what the problem is but they said it may be a problem with the "high performance" engine having a hard time handling ethanol gas in this winter weather (?). Like I said, I have no idea why this happened, but something similar happened last winter to a friend with a Q5 and the dealer said it was something with the fuel injection system and told them to put an additive into their gas for the rest of the winter.
