Well, this has also happened to me. First time was at ~1000miles. Pulling onto a highway the car went into this "limp mode" where it gave me the message of drivetrain malfunction - drive moderately. So I pulled over as soon as i could, turned the car completely off and back on, and it was fine. A few hours later again same issue, this time turned the car off and back on and it was fine, one difference the check engine light was on. Called the dealer made the service appointment along with letting them know about this issue. I was told it was a cylinder misfire and the problem could not be replicated therefore they cleared the codes and sent me off. Last night it happened again, this is ~150 miles after leaving the dealer from break-in service.

Today it is going straight to the dealer and something needs to get done because this is unacceptable on a car with 1400miles.

I'll keep you guys posted.
