My '08 3.0si would go into limp mode displaying 4x4, DSC, and other messages, engine revs would jump as trans downshifted. Stop-restart would make everything normal until the next event. My problem was an intermittent crank PS. I found the code w/ISTA. There are many possible causes for intermittent, near complete power loss.
Yes, it seems like a limp mode condition. However, I never thought limp mode would stop the car from moving. From my experience, it still allows you to drive, but just that power is reduced.
