Had this issue a few months ago. I had some rodents chew on some of the wires in the engine bay. Which produced a EPC and CEL. Cost me about 120 Euro, :-(

Default sq5

got a brand new sq5 last week, driving back from Vermont last night to ny on 95 the epc light came on and car went into limp mode, I had no power at all it seemed.
moving over 3 lanes of 95 going under 20 miles an hour now was a bit dangerous...

pulled over restarted the car and all was fine. I'm a bit nervous to let my fiancé drive this car on a day to day basis now I don't want this happening to her. Is there one specific thing that is wrong to have fixed or endless possibilities?

I would go to your Dealer as soon as can.

They replaced My cam Shift actuator SENSOR # AUD 06E103697G

All is 100 %
