Driving home tonight - not driving hard at all - at about 100kmh (60mph) the "Drivetrain: Continued driving possible. Drive moderately" message came up. Even giving a small amount of throttle it would shudder pretty bad. I pulled over and shut it off, restarted and it ran fine but the message was still there. It went away after a minute or so of driving. I was close to home at this point. After I got home, I shut it off, I restarted it, and the message was back, but seemed to be running fine still.

I grabbed my laptop to check the codes with bootmod3 and there aren't any?? The only code was "138104 exhaust flap control cable disruption", because the flaps are unplugged.

Should I flash back to stock and take it to the dealer? I have 7 or 8 months of warranty remaining. I'm pretty bummed about it.
Do you have access to ISTA? BM3 doesn't always show faults. ISTA is more thorough and will typically find/read faults much better than BM3.
