Owner complaint summary

April 27 I tried a launch control and a few seconds into it I got "All wheel drive error. " Engine performance limited." The car slowed and would only drive a maximum of 20mph. It cycled through several screens, one said "Visit workshop". I tried to attached movie and photo, no luck. I let car sit turned off for about 10 minutes, drove it again, no errors. Tried launch control again, no errors. I have a .mov that shows the errors (My son was in the passenger seat so I had him record the errors). I cannot attach an .mov here. I took it into dealer, they said Porsche didn't have a fix for this but they said not to worry about it. It is dangerous to have the car only go 20mph at some random time!
