Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The airbag light has come on for the third time. The problem is in a sensor in the seatbelt. Each time it is the same problem and Porsche wants me to spend $550 to replace the unit with the fourth sensor. I have declined to do this as they will not warranty the new unit. This is a well known defect in this car according to servicemen and there are similar complaints on your website. I have called and written to Porsche without response.”
