Engine cuts out

Guys,

We've had a tough year or so with our Turbo S. It is without doubt the most problematic car we have ever owned and also the most expensive!!! Basically the car will randomly clunck and then restricts power to 3000rpm. We were sent away by the dealership several times before we told them to keep it until they could fix it. First they flashed the ECU and put new coils on it. When it then happened again they kept the car for a month before saying it had happened to them and that they would now swap the gearbox. We had the car back for about two weeks before it happened to me on the way out of our village, I put this down to a fluke. We did however have a raised awareness over the fact that the car may not be fixed. About another week on it happened to my wife as she was on a slip road expecting the car to accelerate and it didn't again... The car has been taken away again and we have been told that our only option is to cancel the contract on the car. We've sunk a large amount of money into this car and feel like Porsche should be held responsible for situations like this, So, has anyone else any advice in these situations?

cheers
Alex
