So why does software never glitch the other way? Instead of limp mode, put it in Knight Rider mode?

Just done exactly the same again. 150km from home
Will be looking for full refund on Monday and buying something else
So the history is
Friday 25th - due to pick up at 9.30. Dealer rang 30 mins before and said not ready (wrong car delivered from detailed). Rearranged pick up for 3pm. Salesman eventually available at 3.45.
Monday 28th - breakdown 1 at 549km. Towed home
Tuesday 29th - car towed at 7am to the dealer
Tuesday 29th to Friday 1st - car at dealer. Dealer said it was a software glitch
Sunday 3rd - breakdown 2 at 1186km. Exactly the same symptoms. About to be towed home again.

It's probably a single sensor that's faulty causing dramas
shame mate

Sorry to hear that!
What kind of driving were you doing when the restricted performance issue occurred both times? That is were you climbing a hill, dropping gears to accelerate or were you just idling at a constant speed?

This is really bad news.
I do think you are within your rights asking for a refund as they not able to fix the problem and they also don't know exactly what it is. Software glitch my a$%^& this time round. Something is amiss here.
But are you really prepared to part with your baby after waiting for so long?
I would also speak to the big boss directly now if I were you. You are in a very good position to bargain though. Considering an extended warranty for free?

Just driving on the freeway - 100km an hour or so, nothing special. On Monday it was raining hard - today sunshine.
Only common thing we can think of is approx 1/4 of a tank of fuel both times.
Can't have the unreliability / uncertainty which is why it needs to go. If they had stock I'd take a replacement but after a 5 month wait for this one I doubt they will.......

Wondering if its the same sensor issue i had with the EGR? I was also on the freeway when it happened but in my instance i was driving up a hill and accelerating hard when it occurred. My issue was investigated by an engineer from the head office and it was him who discovered the issue - the dealer couldn't identify it.

Search for fuel pump issues here. There were a number of secondary pumps failing. The RRE has two tanks and when the secondary tank fails, no fuel... Good luck!!!

Queevo - that would have been really obvious for the dealer though ?

One should never assume the dealer knows best. Assumption is the mother of all f$%^&-ups as the saying goes.
I 'assumed' when my car went for a service at the dealer that would have have done the necessary. Only when I checked did I realise my air filter was not replaced. So I did it myself. 2000 km later, another service, they replaced it. Not inspected it, just replaced.
