2017 Countryman - First tow to dealer

Hey all.

Please take a look at this and shed some light if you can.

Odometer under 2000 miles. Fuel was in reserve. Vehicle indicated 30 miles to empty. Went to Shell and put in some 93 octane. On I went for a 10 mile drive. Parked. Got back into the vehicle after 1 hour and drive 15 minutes/8 miles. Vehicle notified me that tire pressure was low and to inflate to specification and reset TPMS. Checked vehicle status and saw all tires were low but had 30 psi or over. Stuck in traffic. 5 minutes later vehicle notified me of a "Drivetrain Malfunction" -- Here's where things got dicey... Sputtering, rough idle, after a minute the vehicle stopped, wouldn't start. Put the vehicle in park. Waited about minute. Tried to start the vehicle and it did. Was only a few miles from home so I took it easy and got home. Waited about 30 minutes. Started the vehicle and after what seemed like a normal start within 5 seconds "Drivetrain Malfunction" came up again. Turned off the vehicle and it hasn't been started since. Checked the tire pressure with my gauge and pressure varied between 32-35psi. Not sure how these two could be connected, but figured it's worth mentioning.

Vehicle was towed to dealer. Sad that she's there and not at home. Bummer. Hope it's nothing serious and perhaps a software issue.

Any ideas as to what's going on? If not anything to pick me up would be appreciated.

Cheers, fellow Motorists.

I'll assume this is a duplicate of the post that is under the Countryman Talk forum?
