He tried to shut the car off, restart and again, while driving, suddenly the systems kicks in and shuts down his power. He brought it back to the dealer but they have no idea where this error is coming from. They now sent the error codes to Germany.

Has anybody around here experienced the same issue??

Thanks in advance for your help!

The same thing happened to my car, after an accident of course though. It was fixed, and on my way driving it home from the dealership the same thing happened. It said Trans Malfunction Reduced Speed to me too, and I was mashing the pedal and barely going 20 mph. MY only explanation is that the cylinders are misfiring. That is what happened to me because my car was shaking, and you could definitely tell. Hopefully this helps, and good luck!
