Faulty emission light in Epica?
It does sound like it's an electrical or electronic problem, because when it happens the car is going into limp home mode, which is when you lose power. These problems are not unusual with today's cars, which rely so much on electronics.
Epica rubber blocks
My God, the car's ride must have been appalling, surely you felt it, not to mention the handling. What about the mechanics who serviced it over the last five years, surely they would have seen the blocks. It's the dealer's responsibility to remove the blocks when the car goes through the pre-delivery check. With the invoice in hand approach the dealer and request that the car be thoroughly checked for possible damage.
An epica battle
WE HAVEN'T heard of anyone having the same problems, but our readers might be able to help out if they have suffered them. It does sound like your problem is an electrical one within the anti-skid system, so I would persist with your dealer and have it serviced as they have recommended. Don't think the problem is fixed because the warning lights have suddenly gone off. You need to have the system checked.
