Faulty emission light in Epica?

For the past 12 months I have had trouble with the emissions light coming on, staying on, and then losing all power in my 2007 Holden Epica CDX. Different mechanics have checked it and come up with different answers, now I am being told that it could be a computer problem and have been quoted over $1500 to repair it. Has anyone else had similar problems?

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.
