I had my 4s for 10 days when out of the blue I lost all power in the car and a red warning comes up saying to pull over and park the car. I was in the outside lane with a car on my inside and I had no acceleration so all I could do was bring the car to a stop. After stopping the car it would not give me any power to move. I'm stuck in the outside lane with traffic trying to get past me. I'm about to call for help when I decide to try turning off the car and turning it back on again. Luckily it comes back to life and I am on my way again and the car seems ok.
I call the dealership and they organise for it to be collected so they can figure out what caused it. After 10 days, and after they have escalated it to Germany, I am told they have been instructed to clear the fault and reset it and it should now be fine. I don't find this particularly convincing and I am trying to figure out what to do next.
Other than this experience massively taking the gloss of the experience of having a new car, being stuck in the outside lane was a very unpleasant experience and I still have doubt lingering in my mind that I'm not convinced this will have fixed it.
Part of me thinks I should return it and get a refund. Part of me thinks the engineers in Germany would not let it be released again if they thought it might happen again.
I would be interested in what others would do and if anyone knows of this occurring to anyone else. Thanks for your thoughts.
