Example complaints

Engine: “I am reporting the issue of coolant line fitting failure. I have not had a failure yet but that my mechanic has advised me that this issue must be addressed and repaired before there is a catastrophic failure. This is a known and expensive issue so rather than waiting for a failure, I was advised by a mechanic that it is going to fail and needs to be repaired immediately.”

NHTSA complaint #10515392, filed 2013-06, 40,000 miles

Engine cooling: “Coolant fitting adhesive failed, spraying coolant on rear tires, which caused the vehicle to lose control. Fitting was replaced under warranty with the same problematic adhesive. Multiple failures have been noted in Porsche forums and a recently published article in a global magazine noted this issue has been around for several years with this engine type, with no resolution from Porsche.”

NHTSA complaint #10372203, filed 2010-12, 15,000 miles

Steering: “Permanent coolant hose attachment failed; it came loose from its mounting in the engine resulting in coolant sprayed onto tire, with complete loss of control during a turn , including 270 degree spin, and leaving roadway; fortunately no other vehicles were nearby, so a collision was avoided. Apparently, this is not an unusual failure with the gt3 engine. Note: this was not a coolant hose or hose clamp failure, this was a structural failure of a permanent engine component to which the coolant hose mounts. …”

NHTSA complaint #10595928, filed 2014-06, 46,002 miles

Wheels: “Coolant hose coupling came lose while driving the vehicle at speed, resulting in loss of all engine coolant. Coolant spilled resulted in temporary reduction of vehicle traction, fortunately without incident. Engine damage due to possible overheating is under investigation.”
