Thats BS. I had the same issue about half a year ago. The EPC is basically the system that controls fuel going to your engine. The circuit board that controls the EPC was bad and malfunctioned as I was getting off the highway. Same thing as you... I could rev the RPM's high, but it wouldnt accelerate for anything. Basically, the fuel wasnt flowing and the car couldnt determine what gear it was in. Audi replaced the board, but it did take like 3 days for them to get one in.

Fuel pump
Just can fuel pump send days check and scan the car furl pump came back bad
pump
I just want to know if anyone has had this same problem as I have with the EPC light.
Last night I was driving and the EPC light came on. I started to loose acceleration and the battery light came on. I pulled over to the side and that was it. I had the Q7 towed to the dealership this morning b/c the tow person last night could not figure out how to tow my baby. Any way the dealership just told me that the car had no gas in it. I asked why didn't the fuel light come on and they had no answer. I asked why did it tell me that I had over 70 miles left before empty and they had no answer.
Someone please let me know if you had this issue or should I just be more cautious in trusting the fuel gauge.

it happened to my 08 Q7 today. i parked it outdoor under -33 deg Celsius for 2 days, it took few seconds to started the engine.
the EPC & ESP came on then CEL also on, i parked it in the garage for a day try to warm everything up a bit then started the engine & rev it up to the limited (4000 rpm) a few times.
luckily the EPC light went out first, then the ESP went out after. i had to use VCDS to reset the CEL

Mine was caused by the Faulty Brake switch.
This faulty brake switch caused all sorts of crazy things to happen which would make a repair shop start throwing parts at it.
If the car thinks you have your foot on the brake it will go into limp mode and other things.
Here is video I made showing the switch and the issue it was causing.

EPC
The key not coming out is a "safety feature " If the battery is low it acts as if someone is trying to steal your car. The newer models have a release hole but okder models require th battery to be charged or jumped from another vehicle. Also, the EPC is a sensor for more than one component.
