Consumer Description

The safety risk of having the car’s motor completely lose power on the road/highway is high, as you are then left powerless. We have not reproduced this issue ourselves. Our local Porsche dealer has looked at it and said it was a “one off” type of malfunction and could not find any issue with the car when we brought it in. The car shut off while driving and gave a “Motor control error.” The car’s interior electronics stayed on, but the car had no drive power at all. There were no warning signs or problems prior to this issue occurring
