Default "Panic Button"

Picked up my B8 2012 S4 in Feb of this year. By June, i had an issue with the car not able to go past 3k rpm's without sounding like it as oging to blow-up. EPC light came on, Took car to dealer. Cylinders 1 and 2 failed. Faulty spark plugs and coils changed.
Today, started car up after sitting all night, idled for a min, pulled out of the driveway, car began to shutter, EPC light on, again sounded like it did in June. Took it bak to the dealer cylinders 1,2,3,4, failed and questionable "leaky fuel injector" When do i hit the "panic button" and do i start thinking Lemon Law????? Please help………….

Lemon laws vary state to state. Check your local regulations to see what the requirements are. You can also follow up with a lawyer that specializes in lemon law.
