New GTS already in the shop

Just picked up a new GTS last week, and today upon starting it, the CEL came on and it went into limp mode. Anyone else have this happen?

Has the shop said what the problem is? No, this is very unusual.

What were you doing when it went into limp mode?

Sorry to hear about your problem. MB will hopefully have it fixed in jiffie.
I always keep an OB2 reader in car so that in case a CEL pops up, I can have some basics about the issue.
5K miles on mine and not a single problem other than the constant urge on my right foot and a tendency to always smile after the pedal to the metal.

Was looking at OB2 readers yesterday. What is everyone using?

Did you try a restart and was it ok after that? I had a bad cam position sensor cause a problem like that early on.

Update:
Car is fixed. I'm told something with the fuel supply system had become loose. They tightened it and it's apparently working. Loving this car, can't wait to get 'er back on the road. I had parked it and gone into a store, and when I came out the light and limp mode had appeared. Fortunately the limp mode allows for driving at highway speeds, but almost no acceleration.
