Sorry to report that my 700 mile V12V just threw a CEL (steady light) and went into what appears to be limp mode. The problem according to the dash readout is "emissions system" related.

Engine seems fine under throttle, but hesitates mightily under light throttle or coasting. Was only a mile from home when it happened and made back rather easily.

Besides feeling all the usual disappointments, what can the collective offer up with regards to similar experiences. Thanks.

Sorry to say that I have not had that issue with mine. It is difficult to say without connecting to the OBD as it could be a multitude of things. Get it back to the dealer ASAP and ask for a nice courtesy car in exchange. Hopefully it will be something very straightforward and you will be back on the road in no time.

There must have been something with V12Vs yesterday - my digital speedo intermittently went blank.
