Tracker activated disabling car...

On Saturday,just before the England match,I popped into local Garage for a Newspaper.
It was a very hot day so I left the engine running with Air con on (wife and 2 dogs in the car.)
When I returned to the car the engine had stopped.
It wouldn't restart and I saw a momentary Gearbox failure warning.
AA breakdown / Recovery were excellent and after a couple of hours off it went to AA storage.
The car eventually turned up at my OPC on tuesday and I collected it again on thursday "Fixed."
The technician said the Tracker had disabled the car but all was now well and shouldn't happen again.
They'd never seen anything like it before ...(The tracker was never activated from new as it was not a requirement by my Insurers.)
The Macan now has the dubious honour of being the most unreliable new car I've ever owned...( 15 BMWs ,Mercs and Skodas over the last 20 years or so.)
Fortunately we weren't on our way to the Airport at the time to catch a flight....
