Anyone had a red transmission failure ?

[Zeus Faber]

Luckily I was at the end of my road when it happened . I was advised to park it safely which was impossible as I had no power or steering . I turned it off and turned it on again and the fault disappeared and driving function was restored . It would have been terrifying if I’d been on the outside lane of a motorway , so it’s going in yet again ! I’ve asked Porsche if this is a common problem and as usual they have answered no , so I wanted to check on here ?

You might be the first. Happen to have an image of dash with the error indicator / message?

I have had a red transmission failure with park on safe place error when driving 200km plus on an unrestricted German autobahn. However I just checked what happened when I used the gaspedal (electricity pedal) and the car responded normal so I just pushed the message away of my instrument screen and moved on. In my case it was just a software glitch.

Many forum members have experienced this and was the subject of a global safety recall.
