Originally got a start stop system fault that put the car into limp mode. after a day, the fault changed to "drive system malfunction" on the way to the dealership for diagnostics. dealer says the turbo is bad and needs to be replaced ($5,000!). Very slow stop and go for about 30 mins. i was not really paying attention to anything with car, and all of a sudden i got a double alert on the dash “drive system malfunction, please contact service” and the engine speed limited alert you usually get at start up, only it was limited to 4000rpm! total limp mode.
