“I had pro-active repairs performed on my 2004 Porsche gt3 coolant system due to known issue of coolant pipes separating from the engine. I had the repair performed because I was afraid of losing control of my vehicle (it is my daily driver) or causing a crash behind me. The repairs cost me $3900 + ca state tax (7.75%) for a total of: $4200+.”
NHTSA complaint #10514295, filed 2013-05, 18,000 miles“I was driving around a corner about 40 MPH when the car suddenly spun around. I then saw steam coming from the engine.

This is a safety issue as I was lucky I did not hit any one or any thing. Just pure luck. …”
