The issue with the 335's is unique to the 335's. There's hope they'll be able to figure it out for you.

I've never had a problem with my 335...don't know what all the fuss is about. Mine's a year old, too.

It's for 335 MSport. I do not really consider it an issue. It is more of an annoyance.

I take this approach. My car reruns to normal after a quick off/on. I have more important things on the road to worry about, including, but not limited to: (i) California drivers (makes me angry enough), (ii) California drivers, (iii) California drivers, (iv) California drivers and (v) the sun.

All of that being said, I could have purchased a Tesla S and have to worry about fire.

I strongly disagree. It's not an annoyance but a severe and potentially dangerous issue. I experienced a loss of power on a highway while going about 120 km/h with the car suddenly slowing down and me not being able to accelerate. Almost got smoked from behind.

It's a joke that these cars have been plagued with this bs for forever now, with no fix in sight.

Knock on wood, I have not experienced sudden loss of power whilst driving. I come to a complete stop, accelerate, then loss of power. We might be describing apples to oranges.
