Owner complaint summary

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

This is an owner complaint filed with NHTSA (ODI #11418476). It is not automatically an official recall, investigation outcome, or manufacturer admission unless the complaint text itself describes one.
