Owner report 10372521 · 2010-12-27 (December 27, 2010)
THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2007 PORSCHE TURBO IS THAT WHEN I GO TO FILL UP GAS THE TANK WILL NOT FILL PASS 2/3 OF THE TANK. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MOST OF THE TIMES THAT I FILL UP GAS AND PORSCHE HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. I AM SURE THAT IT IS NOT ONLY MY CAR THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUND OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. OUT OF THE MANY TIMES I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ONE TIME THEY CHANGE THE GAS TANK AND RELATING PARTS BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

Owner report 10508623 · 2013-04-17 (April 17, 2013)
I APPROACHED MY PORSCHE 911 TURBO IN MY GARAGE AND NOTICED A SLIGHT BIT OF LIQUID WITH A PINK HUE (COOLANT) THAT HAD APPEARED TO HAVE LEAKED FROM UNDER MY CAR. I LOOKED AT THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WHICH WAS ~1.5-2 INCHES BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO NEW GERMAN PERFORMANCE TO GET CHECKED OUT. I CALLED AND CONFIRMED THEY HAD AN AVAILABILITY. I TURNED ON MY CAR AND SHORTLY THERE AFTER A WARNING POPPED UP STATING "CHECK COOLANT". THE DRIVE WAS ROUGHLY 20 MILES. THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NEVER WENT ABOVE 175 DEGREES (NORMAL OPERATING T…

COOLANT LEAKING FROM A FLANGE ON TOP OF THE ENGINE (REAR ENGINED CAR) CAUSED REAR TIRES TO GET WET AND LOSE GRIP WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. PORSCHE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2002-2012 PORSCHE TURBO, GT2, AND GT3 CARS. *TR

Owner report 10509200 · 2013-04-22 (April 22, 2013)
I HAD A KNOWN ISSUE OF COOLANT LEAK WITH A HOSING/FITTING FAIL ON MY ENGINE. THE FITTING OR GLUE/EPOXY CAME LOSE CAUSING A MASSIVE LEAK OF COOLANT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AN EXTENSIVE DISTANCE FOR REPAIRS AND REPAIR WAS VERY COSTLY FOR A PART THAT WAS ONLY $300. TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN, I HAD THE DEALER PIN THE FITTINGS SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T COME LOSE AGAIN. FOR A CAR WITH LESS THAN 50K MILES AND THE NUMBER OF FOLKS HAVING THIS ISSUE, I WANTED TO SUBMIT MY CLAIM. THE FOLLOWING IS THE PART THAT FAILED 997-106-039-72 AS WATER NE…

Owner report 10510191 · 2013-04-30 (April 30, 2013)
ON 06/09/12 (W/ APPROX 47K MILES) THE CAR BEGAN LEAKING COOLANT WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE RATE OF THIS LEAK WAS SLOW AND WOULD HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL HOURS TO COMPLETELY DRAIN THE COOLANT FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF THIS ISSUE. ON 03/29/13 ( W/ APPROX 54K MILES) MY PREGNANT WIFE AND I WERE A FEW MILES FROM ENTERING THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR BEGIN TO LEAK COOLANT VERY RAPIDLY. ANOTHER MOTORIST FLAGGED ME DOWN AND ALERTED ME TO THE ISSUE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER TO FIND …

Owner report 10510377 · 2013-05-02 (May 2, 2013)
I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION. THEY CALLED ME TO INFORM ME THAT ONE OF THE FITTINGS HOLDING MY COOLANT HOSES HAD COME LOOSE AND THIS WAS CAUSING A LEAK OF COOLANT INTO MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT REPLACING THE COOLANT HOSE FITTINGS SINCE IT WOULD SPRAY COOLANT ALL OVER MY TIRES AND THE ROAD. THEY SAID THAT COOLANT SPILLED ON THE ROAD WOULD MAKE IT VERY SLIPPERY AND COULD CAUSE CARS FOLLOWING ME TO CRASH. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FITTINGS AND HOSES ON THE CAR. …

Owner report 10519644 · 2013-06-13 (June 13, 2013)
COOLANT PIPE FAILURE. AFTER DRIVING BACK FROM THE AIRPORT AND PARKING, NOTICED HUGE COOLANT POOL FORM UNDER THE CAR. TOOK CAR TO SHOP AND THEY SCOPED THE COOLANT SYSTEM AND FOUND THE COOLANT PIPES HAVE STARTED TO SEPARATE. SHOP SAID THEY HAVE DONE MANY OF THESE REPAIRS, AND THAT MANY TRACKS WILL NOT LET 911 TURBOS ON THEM UNLESS THEY HAVE THESE WELDED BECAUSE OF THE HIGH NUMBER OF SEPARATIONS OF THESE PIPES. SEEMS LIKE THE EPOXY METHOD OF SECURING THESE IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR THESE CARS. *TR
