2017 Porsche Boxster 718 with pdk has started in 2nd gear on 3 occasions making entering into traffic at a slow rate of speed very dangerous. 1st time the pdk transmission was in park and then I moved it to drive. The pdk selected gear 2 while in sport mode. 2nd time I was backing out of my driveway, stopped to put in drive, and the pdk selected 2nd gear. The 3rd time I was slowing to a light and came to a complete stop at red light. I took foot off brake and pdk selected 2nd gear. I attempted in all cases to manually shift into 1st gear but the pdk would not shift into 1st gear. This happened on 3 occasions from about July - Sep 2019. This picture is showing the 3rd time on Sep 9, 2019.
