Its clearly a software issue. You do something that tricks the system, and boom, "limp mode".

The weird thing is Ive had 7...I can count at least 3 different ways that triggered it

-switching from comfort to sport+(had that twice)
-simply down shifting in MDM (3 times)
-Spirited driving into lawful driving (twice) One of those was the weirdest thing, I was running the car pretty hard on some hills, then come to a stop, and boom, Im limp.(it was also my first) thank god I had read the thread and new what to do, because I was far from home.
