I applied the gas pedal & the pedal seemed to stick. The vehicle kept accelerating after I took my foot off that pedal to apply brake. Car would slow when brake applied but immediately accelerated and kept increasing (speed was well over 90 mph & climbing ) when brake was released. This happened 3 times before the -??stuck-??pedal released. Another driver (retired mechanic) had driven the car and had similar experience a week prior and mentioned their experience. I didn-??t realize how serious the incident could be. I called dealership but first available service appointment (scheduled) is Feb. 23,2022

The car came with a factory installed tow system. I returned it to the dealer three times and it does not work properly. I was shocked plugging in a tester to the 7 way connector. The dealer service manager advised me that I was not shocked and states that the lights stating the 7 way connector is normal. This is not normal. When I connect a digital break controller or 7 pin cable with a trailer the car doesn't not communicate with the break controller. The break controller expert stated that since no diode was showing when I plug the car in that this indicates the brakes are not wired correctly. The dealership says since another car works the same as mine they don't think it is a issue. Corporate Porsche is unable to advise on technical service bulletins or information on a wiring harness to enable a wired break controller. I took the car over to uhaul and did remote calls with the brake controller manufacturer. All state that it is something with the manner it is wired with a 'open ground'. this is unsafe as I have no way safely brake or utilize a brake controller. Since other 2020S behave the same way this is a systemwide issue and the manufacturer is not taking action so it should be evaluated by engineering.
