Consumer Description

At approximately 3:40 PM on 5/24/2021 I was travelling W bound on the 10 freeway. The vehicle experienced full power loss. Fortunately I was in the L most lane and could pull to the side. Had I been in the center lanes I would've had serious safety issues. Vehicle is being towed to Beverly Hiss Posrche. I took a photo of the error message and can share it if needed. This was a particularly traumatic experience as the vehicle has been in the repair shop for 35+ days since purchase in November with electrical issues. It was returned on 5/17/2021 after a second control module was replaced.
