I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE A PARKING SPOT. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE MODE & IT DIDN'T MOVE. THE VEHICLE SHOWED THE MESSAGE: 'MOTOR CONTROL ERROR ' MOVE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PLACE' AND WAS ENCIRCLED BY A RED LIGHT. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES THINKING VEHICLE WOULD RESET ITSELF. BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WOULD GO IN NEUTRAL MODE, BUT NOT DRIVE MODE.

WHILE DRIVING, CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE ABRUPTLY AND STOPPED ITSELF. DASH FLASHED MOTOR CONTROL ERROR IN RED AND THE SYSTEM CONTROL ERROR AND WAS COMPLETE UNRESPONSIVE AND UNDRIVEABLE. CAR WAS TOWED TO PORSCHE AND THEY HAVE NO ANSWERS AFTER 3 DAYS. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, AS THE CAR SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. HAD IT BEEN A HIGHWAY, I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT.
