I don't think the couplers have anything to do with most of that. If there were problems with the electronic connectors on the couplers, I'd imagine that we'd be seeing much more severe problems.

It's more likely that the electronics on board each car are not properly relaying their signals to the trailing cars. This wouldn't be first major software glitch to be discovered in the 5000 series.
