since I'm waiting for a 50th Anniversary edition in a manual, is this issue recognized and solve by PAG, or am I expecting something like this happen when I get it.
This thread started in May and now its November, hope they get this fix

Spoke to my dealer today, Conshy Porsche, on this "not starting" issue. I told the dealer that I would like to make sure the fix is done before I pick up my new C2S 7MT next week rather than get stuck someplace with it. He told me that the problem is so rare that they can't fix it until the problem shows up. I'm not sure if he meant because Porsche won't pay for it, or because they don't know there is anything to fix until/unless the problem appears. Anyone have any suggestions?

Joel,
Rare of course, manuals are rare compared to PDK. This is a critical gap issue with the Hall effect sensor, so unless a definitive change has been made on a manufacturing level the possibility of failure exists in every unit.
I was also told it was rare, I'm thinking medium rare.

So, is it understood that the problem does not happen with the auto start/stop disabled? Has anyone experienced it with auto start/stop disabled (which is how I intend to drive)?

That is nonsense. I disabled the auto start on my car as soon as I took delivery at the dealer. Still happened to mine.

Nonsense? Calm down there Turbo! I always turn that off because I don't like it. The issue seemed more frequent with it running than not but of course that won't fix it. The problem needs to be resolved with the Hall effect sensor like I said before even the dealer knew.

Have them check to see if there is a service bulletin out on the subject. In my estimation a feeler gauge measurement would give the mechanic a good indication but I don't know what is allowed by PCNA on preemptive service/diagnosis.
Good luck and enjoy the hell out of it................

Stop-Start is always turned off on our car.
But I enabled/disabled the start-stop while I was experiencing the problem. Multiple starts, moving a couple of feet, stalling, starting I tried "Sport" on and off as well and it did not help.
Only thing that worked was time.........about a half hour, it was back to "normal". Had the dealer pick up the car the next day, I wasn't taking any chances with a car that only had a couple hundred miles on the clock.
