This incident is related to the ARB7/24V-732 recall, first communicated to me in November, 2024 and again in July, 2025. The July, 2025 letter states that software would be installed in the vehicle to test the health of my vehicle's battery, at a Porsche Center.

Driving at 45 MPH, and suddenly the car lost the ability to accelerate. It has no power/torque. It seemed to be able to maintain the speed (but not entirely sure or if it was coasting).

Cannot reproduce, which makes thi...

While driving on the city streets, the vehicle would not accelerate properly. At a stop sign, when pressing the accelerator, the vehicle started to jerk forward slowly and would not accelerate properly. A turtle started to flash on the cluster display.
