Mitsubishi Outlander 2010: Going into limp-home mode

It sounds like it is going into limp-home mode for some reason, and by turning the engine off and re-starting you are resetting the computer so it drives normally again. It is probably a sensor playing up, but because it only happens intermittently it's hard to trace. I would sit down with the dealer and explain the conditions when it happens and give them as much information as possible to trace the cause of the problem.
